Restore the weathered floating yoga sala
as a bamboo hut where everyone can gather.

The wishes held by this place,
carried into tomorrow.
Travellers, families and children have long gathered here, each in their own way.
The owner passed away several years ago, and his wife took over the place.
“What should we do with this place from here?”
That was the concern shared with us.
The buildings are gradually ageing. Left untouched, they may one day fall into disrepair beyond saving.
But the former owner was said to have wished:
“I hope this can become a place everyone can share.”
Those were the words remembered.
Hearing that, those of us gathered here asked,
“Then what kind of place would we like it to become?”
and began talking together.
A place to live with nature, where children and adults from different countries can gather, connect and help it grow.
Wouldn’t that be something worth creating?
Its name: SaaiJai Village.
Perhaps what we imagine can slowly take shape.
WHY WE BUILDAt the heart of it,
At the heart of it,
a place for everyone.
The floating sala where people gather has several damaged areas and needs renovation. We want to begin with this shared centre.
We want to build a circular hut, mainly from bamboo, where people can sit together, eat, practise yoga and talk about the future. With everyone’s help, SaaiJai BAMBOO HUT can gradually take shape.
FROM HERE TO THE BAMBOO HUT01 / Assess 02 / Plan together 03 / Build and share
First, understand the place as it stands.
We plan to repair the damaged sala and create a circular space built mainly with bamboo. Local inspections will help us decide what to keep and what to repair.
Work with local builders to define the design, scope and estimate.
Share progress and spending as we restore a place to gather.
Photos show the existing facilities and concept. Detailed findings, confirmed estimates and construction dates will be shared when available.
