A small, but very nice meeting of beautiful old cars in Pattaya…























































A meeting of off-road enthusiasts was held at the beach near the airport of Rayong. On my bike and down to road i followed the off-roaders to the gathering.
The atmosphere was amazing relaxed. Dozens of off-road vehicles were displayed, from modern equipped to old-timers or military style Jeeps. To my surprise i found lots of Land Rover Defender and Series gathering here too. I got even the chance to sit in one at the beach for a photo.
But of course, it’s not only for show proudly their vehicles and play with them at the beach, but also to have a good time together, listen to the live bands, chatting about off-road stuff and, of course, having a good meal together.
I had a great time with those friendly people and enjoyed a lot. But see yourself…















































































I got the honor to meet the musician Peeter Panz and her fellow guitarist „O“ a few weeks ago. Meanwhile i visited some gigs of them, but also met for a few drinks and playing pool billiard. When my new friend invited me to a concert out of the city, i didn’t hesitate to say yes.
Frankly, i had no idea where exactly the concert going to be. Somewhere near Rayong in the countryside, as i knew. And yes, Chilling Haus is a small campsite somewhere in the green. In the neighborhood i see a golf course while the first bands doing their sound checks. On the area are also food stalls with different tasty stuff and drinks.
While it got darker, the music goes in its full swing as more and more people coming in. They bring their camping chairs and picnic tables, enjoying the music and the community. So also me with my new friends. A weekend couldn’t be better, right?



















































At weekend the Waterjet World Cup was held on Jomtien Beach in Pattaya.
Out of curiosity i went there with my camera just to snap some vibes. However, i followed other photographs and got into the crew’s area, where waterjets got prepared and inspected. It was also a great place at the beach to spot the scenes on the races, hence the many photographers there.
It took not too long, an official approached me and explained me, only accredited photographers are allowed there. But i was sent to the media counter, where i got a free day pass as photographer and influencer. Lucky me. Unfortunately this pass was for the visitors area only.
Despite i was there for the crews and behind the scenes vibes, rather than just the race, it was interesting to watch the waterjets almost flying around the course.
Beside that, there was another challenge in ‚freestyle‘, where the competitors had to ride their waterjets in acrobatic and artistics figures.
But see yourself the impressions i got for you…

The day I arrived in Taipei and stepped on Taiwans soil the first time, my friends and travel mates from an earlier journey, Lucy and Alex, picked me up and showed me around Shilin night market. A very friendly gesture and interesting evening to get introduced in some of Taiwanese culture and daily life. And got to taste some of Taiwanese favorite drinks: Bubble Tea!
My friend Lucy posted some footage of this evening on her YouTube-Channel 🙈https://www.youtube.com/@MamaLucy
Midst in the old city lies the Hwaseong Haenggung Palace. Nicely renovated and with beautiful displays of the daily life on the king’s court of an old dynasty. It’s an educational place, not only for day visitors, but also for school classes. So i met a friendly teacher with her pupils, explaining the sundial on a very accurate model in an inner court. After a little chat i stepped outside the palace, where people gathered on a big square and let fly kites in the evening sky. A beautiful, calm atmosphere surrounded me for a last glimpse of these friendly and peaceful folks.

























If there is one thing you should do in Suwon, it’s taking a hike on the mighty city wall.
That wall surrounding the inner, old city is called Hwaseong Fortress. The nearly 6km long way on the top of the wall offers a stunning view on the city and the history of it. Let’s go for a walk…
