Sayam
Age: Older
Hometown:Chiang Rai, Thailand
People Group:Thai
Interests:Bamboo, Tribal Art and Culture, photography, poetry, Human Beings, Environment, Cuisine, Spirituality..
Current Activities: Artist, Furniture builder, Trekking leader, Environmentalist...
 

Sayam has a great deal of knowledge of bamboo, as did his father before him, and his father before him, and his father... and so on, and so on...  He brings that knowledge to our project of the bamboo bike frame.  He has studied in depth, the intricacies of the Great Grass.  He knows how to grow it, how to select it, how to cut it, how to treat it, how to join it, how to finish it, etc...  And even though he knows so much, he still studies bamboo nearly everyday in some fashion.


Sayam recently retired from managing the art school he founded in Bangkok, and is searching for a way to help the Hilltribe people in poverty to make a better living.  He recently returned from leading a group of Swiss tourists into the high mountains of Laos.  His heart was pulled heavily by the poverty he saw in the desperate people along the dirt roadsides.  Maybe we’ll add a “Laos” model to our line up someday.


Thanks to our growing customer base, which hopefully includes you, we have been able to grow our support staff.  The following people have been involved in learning new skills and the importance of quality. They have demonstrated the desire to learn and help themselves with the hopes of sharing the freedom with others.

 

Today, we can cut bamboo!
