This is a “Gänseblümchen” Bellis Perrenis in Latin, or kind of daisies in English. I found them only in one place in Thailand. High up in the mountains at Doi Angkharn in the North of Thailand. This photo though was taken last year in Switzerland in the alps. I know strangly this is one of my favorate flowers. Perhaps because it grows on any field in Switzerland.

I am back on my blog after a long break. I blame facebook for it 🙂 Because I spend way to much time on it. I was also on holidays with my family and before that my brother was visiting with his family. And then of course I was also working and on the road…

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…

Of course instant coffee from Nestlè was omniscient, even in the most remote areas of the Chiang Mai mountains. But today there is a growing coffee culture developing in this part of Thailand.

Unsere Besuche werden natürlicherweise mit…

I love Ice cream cake! If I would be in Switzerland it would be a Black forest cake. (Schwarzwäldertorte) We had a great little party at home and I am proud of my little family….. …. by the way 41 doesn't feel that old at all. 🙂

Today is another one of those days that only come once a year. It is my birthday, or the day my mother labored me into this world in pain. In a strange world that often times seems hostile to me with all it's conflicts and hardships. But also a world that was made for me…

Nachdem ich mit meinen zwei älteren Kids noch einen Film geschaut habe, musste ich mal wieder meinen Schreibtisch aufräumen und alles was sich so angehäuft hat durchgehen und neu stappeln. Dann musste ich auch noch packen und meinen Trip in die Berge vorbereiten. Morgen früh werde ich für zwei Tage in die Berge fahren. Ich…

It is Sunday. The kids are in a camp for three days and it is so quite around the house. I spent two days in the mountains. We had to drive pipes and building material to a remote area in the Hui Kau Laam valley. My truck suffered a little, got scratched up and the…
