Paradise was once a sanctuary for artists, travelers, and performers from all over the world.

After COVID, we lost everything. The land was leveled. The buildings were gone.
In 2022, we rebuilt from scratch.

​

With the help of a global community, we brought back our beloved fire shows.
We created a free training space for like-minded souls.

We began work on a Circus School and a Performing Arts Foundation.
And we built The Grove — a massive jungle amphitheater unlike anything else in Pai.

​

None of it would have been possible without the considerable personal investment from the owner, and the generous contributions from our community.
We are deeply grateful for that support.

But the truth is — it wasn’t enough.

Just as we were launching into our next chapter, we were hit by unforeseen government zoning restrictions that now threaten to shut Paradise down.

 

🚫 Now, zoning laws threaten to close our gates for good.

But we’re not giving up.

We’ve secured a new space for fire shows and we’re moving forward with legal development

to protect and expand Paradise — legally, sustainably, and long-term.

But to finish the work — and stay afloat — we need your help.

 

🎯 We’re raising ฿500,000 to make this possible.

If you ever:

• Danced barefoot here

• Shared a meal under the stars

• Found something that felt like freedom...

Then this is your moment to give something back.

“We put our skill, our hearts, and our lives in front of you.
We gave you what we love. Now we ask for your support.”

 

🎁 All donations of ฿1,000 or more will receive a 15% discount when our online merch store launches.

 

Please donate.
Please share.
Please help us keep the fire alive.

Because We Are Paradise — and this place doesn’t exist without you.

Our story begins in 2016, high in the mountains of Northern Thailand, where two worlds connected—one of Thai tradition and the other of free-spirited hippies. A collaboration between local Thai artisans and passionate backpackers sparked the creation of something truly magical.

 

What started as a simple gathering of like-minded souls quickly evolved into something far greater—a mission. A mission to inspire and awaken the transformative power of movement and fire. There, in the heart of the mountains, a circus was born—a place where art, culture, and creativity wove into a tapestry of performance, passion, and personal discovery.

​

At first, it was just a handful of people, gathered around a burning coconut, learning to spin poi, dance with fire staffs, and embrace the joy of performance. But what began as a grassroots community soon grew into a vibrant and diverse collective—artists, performers, dreamers, and explorers who sought to share their love for movement with others. This was more than just a circus; it was a way of life.

​

Nearly a decade later, the founders of Paradise remain as dedicated as ever to the same values that sparked the project all those years ago: a commitment to community, creativity, and connection. The spirit of collaboration between locals and travelers continues to thrive. It’s a place where people from all walks of life come together—not just to learn circus arts, but to discover themselves, to find their voice, and to be part of something larger.

What began in the small, sleepy town of Pai has now grown into a global movement, yet the core essence remains unchanged.

 

Paradise is a living, breathing expression of the art of movement and fire—a celebration of creativity, freedom, and the incredible power of coming together to create something truly extraordinary. Our mission is the same as it was in the beginning: to inspire and share the beauty of movement with the world.

​

As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our belief that, no matter where you are from or where you are going, the art of expression can transform your life. This is where dreams take flight, and the impossible becomes possible. Welcome to Paradise.
