BlogLike many young people, Jon Jandai was once a young student who had chosen to leave his village to study in the city, seeking a "better life." But after years of working in the city, he began to question whether the conventional path to success—education, competition, accumulation—was truly leading to happiness and fulfillment.
He was forced to question the society he was living in. Eventually, he made a radical decision: to return to his village and explore a different way of living based on community, sustainable agriculture, and spiritual practice.
Today, Jon Jandai is known internationally as a visionary leader who challenges conventional development paradigms and offers alternative models for living. He has dedicated his life to demonstrating that happiness and wellbeing don't require endless consumption or competitive struggle. Through his work at Pavilion and his farm in rural Thailand, he shows that another way is possible.
In Nếp Mới #8, we will have the extraordinary privilege of hosting Jon Jandai, who will share his personal journey of transformation and his vision for building communities that prioritize wellbeing, sustainability, and spiritual deepening.
