When you arrive at the Panya Project, we try to accommodate you the best we can, but please remember that we are not a guest house or resort.

We have dorm space for 10 guests. Each has its own mosquito net, sleeping pad, sheets, blankets, and pillows. We also have tents available, which are wonderful to stay in anytime between December and May. There is a beautiful spot to pitch the tents down in the bamboo grove near a stream.

Occasionally, especially during off season, one of our bamboo bungalows or earthen buildings will have space for visitors.

We eat primarily Thai vegetarian food, with eggs and the occasional meat or fish dish. We are pretty flexible and accommodating to special dietary needs, and you are welcome to use the kitchen—cook us up some of your hometown specialties! We likely don’t have specialty foods, though, so bring your own if you need it. (Take heed: that includes coffee!)

Our showers are in a lush outdoor setting. We have two shower heads in each of the mens and womens areas. The shower and sink run-off into a garden, so please use only natural biodegradable products here. We will usually have natural soaps, shampoos, and laundry soap available.

We use a "humanure" dry composting toilet system. It looks much like an outhouse, but we always cover our business with rice husks, so if properly maintained it doesn’t smell. (Eventually the "humanure" will be completely composted and then put on our fruit orchard.

There is a lake nearby for swimming, and a beautiful national forest with trails into it.

Its pretty nice!
