The new year has started and it is time to set some goals to get the seven and three energy flowing. Seven for the planing and Three for the getting it done. In my head I have been pondering goals or get reminded on things I need/want to do. The problem with this is, it’s…

It is a new year and I decided to revive my blog again. I don’t know where this will go, but i have some ideas. In the last years the internet has changed immensely and I don’t know if blogging is still the way to go. Facebook seems to have taking over my life and…

On the way down from the mountains I have to come over a small mountain range. (small for Swiss standards anyway) This road connects Chiang Dao with Chai Prakarn. It is quite step and very curvy. I have seen many accidents on that stretch over the years. Yesterday I passed a truck that has tipped…

Thailand, an aviation hub and prime tourist destination started the tourist high season crippled with the international airport closed since Tuesday night without a sign that it would open soon. The government is unable to get the demonstrators out of Suvarnabhumi airport.  I watched Thai Tv this morning and it seems like any other day. No News.…

Es hat sich nichts verändert in der Situation an den Flughäfen in Bangkok oder mus man sagen das es eher noch schlimmer wurde. Bangkok gilt als Aviation hub in Südostasien und etwa einhundert tausend reisende kommen durch Bangkok um in andere Länder weiterzureisen. Momentan sitzen etwa einhunderttausend Reisende in Bangkok fest. Internationale Flüge aus Chiang…

Yesterday was an adventure altogether. Today I am still tired from the trip. We had to get bamboo in the forest for the new building in Hui Kau Laam. What I didn’t know was that it had rained for two days straight up in that area.Cati asked me if it is okay to go. I…
