Jai:
Thai word that means heart, mind, and when combined with other words is used to convey all different manners of feelings, state of mind, attitudes.
Why Jai Joy?
We want to use this space to share with you our experiences in discovering, encountering a variety of, as well as the way to, pure jai joy!
We loved the concept and the way how in Thai language, by combining jai with another word, the meaning changes and represents the diversity of feelings, state of mind, personalities and attitudes in life, always linking it to the heart.
We are meeting on our way people and initiatives that are jai-dee (kind and generous heart), show us how to live the jai yen (keep it calm and relaxed) and spread the nam jai (lit. water from the heart – kindness). We want to share with you all those touching moments (gin jai – lit.eating the heart) and portrait the determined and courageous (jai petch) people we will meet on our way, to learn from them and to apply in our daily lives.
It is also to share with you our reflections on and proper experience in learning and understanding on sabai jai (happy, worry-less heart) way of life, by observing what surrounds and is within us. Stay tuned!
What you can find here
They say we don’t meet people by accident. It’s the flow of life to make our ways cross and learn from each other. It this section we want to give the voice to some of the local people we are grateful to meet, share our encounters and their jai way in life! Finally, of course being us, we will always ask for a favourite dish, so that we can taste it too:)
From plastic waste reduction, sustainable communities to responsible tourisim. While travelling, we want to learn about, discover and share with you local initiatives that inspired us. Both very individual, personal actions to more established campaigns.
Things that we can do when traveling, taht are not often in the travel guides? From going to the cinema to have a local haircurt. These experiences are often more unforgetable than visit the main sigths. Here you can find this and many more.
