Some photo's taken during the very first Bamboo Workshop in June 2016 (making a table) in Huay Pu Keng village and the second workshop (building a bamboo shed in Pai during an 'Innovating Tourism workshop with Haasii, the Cross-Cultural Co-Creation Club) in September 2016.

Huay Pu Keng Village is super excited to announce our newly developed workshop offer, and welcome you to our village to learn traditional bamboo building skills!!! This is also the perfect chance to get to know our Kayan people and culture - while moving away from the 'human zoo' tourism models that have been associated with our people in Thailand. Check out and share our poster below! We can teach groups of people (between 2 - 10 persons for now) a variety of bamboo skills, depending on how much time you want to spend in the village (1 day up to 3 weeks). You will learn the different cuts involved in bamboo work and can choose between making: a bamboo rubbish bin (1 day), table (2 days), chair (4 days), build a bamboo house (1 week), or do a master building course (3 weeks). Please contact us to arrange dates for your workshop at [email protected]. If you don't have a group ready, express you're interest and possible dates, and we can try to arrange a group with others. See you soon!
