About Jon Jandai

John Jandai hails from Yasothorn Province in Thailand and has been farming all his life. After building earthen homes on his family farm in 1997, he began doing workshops on earthen building in 2002, initially travelling across the country and voluntarily teaching farmers and villager groups about building earthen homes. This eventually led to a widespread earthen building movement in Thailand.

He co-founded Pun Pun Centre for Self-reliance, an organic farm outside Chiang Mai in July 2003 and is most interested in preserving our heritage in seeds.

Pun Pun doubles as a centre for sustainable living and seed production, aiming to bring indigenous and rare seeds back into use. It regularly hosts training on simple techniques to live more sustainably. Outside Pun Pun, Jon is a leader in bringing the natural building movement to Thailand, appearing as a spokesperson on dozens of publications and TV programmes for the past 10 years. He strives to find easier ways for people to fulfil their basic needs.
