Pan Lertpanon (Pan)
Bitcoin Merchant Adoption Lead
Born and raised in the bustling metropolis of Bangkok, Pan Lertapanon always sought something more than the conventional path. After earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, he embarked on a career in Bangkok’s construction industry, shaping the city’s skyline. But as he built structures, he began to question the foundation of the very system he was working within.
Witnessing firsthand how inflation erodes wealth and deepens societal struggles, Pan set out on a journey to reclaim true financial freedom and a self-sufficient life. This pursuit led him to Chiang Mai, a city that embodies the spirit of freedom, sustainability, and innovation—a haven for digital nomads and Bitcoiners alike.
In Chiang Mai, Pan immersed himself in the principles of sustainable living at Pun Pun Farm in Mae Taeng, under the guidance of Joe Jandai. There, he learned to build earthen homes, cultivate food, and live harmoniously with nature. But more than that, he deepened his understanding of financial literacy and realized that Bitcoin is the key to true self-sovereignty—a tool to fight inflation and regain control over one’s future.
Now, as a member of Bitcoin Learning Center, Pan is on a mission to share the Orange Pill with the world. He believes that Bitcoin is not just technology—it’s a revolution that empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of economic manipulation and build a future based on freedom, sustainability, and financial independence.
With his engineering mindset, deep connection to nature, and unwavering belief in Bitcoin, Pan is not just building a hub—he’s helping to build a movement.
