Match day. And it starts with a minute of silence. For the countless victims of the Tai Po fire.

A hero for HK (via HK hub) «Local media report that she, her employer, and the employer's three-month-old baby were trapped inside the flat as smoke and heat quickly filled the unit. During the incident, Rhodora used her body to shield the infant while they waited for firefighters to reach them.»

A video made in the best bar (I found) on Koh Kood. They wrote outside of the building: “Hot beer, bad service, too expensive" 😂 Well, I would go again. It was actually a fun place. 📍 maps.app.goo.gl/MxfeHHHw4Ckj...

The last news headline shows: «Hong Kong fire: Rescue effort called off with 128 dead, 200 missing». At the same time, I’ve got messages from all over the world asking if I’m fine. 1/2 www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

The death toll has risen to 65, the media reported. Nearly 300 are missing. Some residents are still trapped in buildings. Three construction company workers were arrested and held on suspicion of manslaughter. The Wang Fuk complex was home to over 4,600 people. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

What a disaster 😳

Some more pictures of the Khlong Chao Waterfall น้ำตกคลองเจ้า in Koh Kood, made 3 days ago.

A 20.82 km long hike along some beaches. Koh Kut, you’re stunning. Love it, even my legs are now tired. Amazing Thailand 🇹🇭

I wonder. Why there are suddenly so many incidents with power banks? We use power banks for years, but I seldom saw postings. Is it the coverage, or did something change? www.straitstimes.com/singapore/sm...

Yesterday, I hiked for 4:40 hours and covered 20.82 km. Koh Kood is beautiful and very relaxing. It was good to be here during my weekend in Thailand. And it was good to eat local food. 💛

If you were nearby a waterfall in Thailand, and it never stops bleeding, it must have been leeches. And if you collected a couple of those f#%#*rs.

The question today: Should I believe AllTrails and follow that route from Ban Ao Prao to Ban Ao Jak?

First night in Koh Kut / Koh Kood. Arrived late afternoon, and directly explored the beach around my resort.

Hiking through the jungle of Thailand. And got lost again. 🫣 Ended up in the middle of nowhere instead of at the waterfall. 🥾 But I got greeted by monkeys.

From Bangkok to Koh Kut / Koh Kood. What a journey. 😅

I did expect everything, but not that cold weather in Thailand. 😅 I think I do need to buy a hoodie. Well, at least the weather is great for hiking. (And yes, I’m Swiss. But as I have lived in Asia for 10 years, I’m used to 30+ degrees.)

I’m on the ferry to Koh Kood. And everyone is talking about an incident that happened yesterday. A staff member tells me: 5-meter waves yesterday, today just 3 meters. 🫢 Boarded the boat and almost stepped in vomit. 🫣 Good luck to us.

A breakfast place where you have to go through a bar, to reach that almost hidden floor. 😅 But the breakfast was awesome. 📍 maps.app.goo.gl/ok1sWKEKr9tx...

I mean, I want to pay for my visa for India. That's all 🤷‍♂️ It's been going on for 3 days.

My favorite small dinner. True followers of my social media know that dish: Laarb and a crispy baguette. 💛

Let’s go Hong Kong. You can do it!

Paging my followers in #Bangkok. Staying the next 2-3 days in Phrom Phong on Sukhumvit 41 Alley. What are your favourite restaurants there, which I can walk to to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Do you have any great recommendations?

.... and just 7 days later, I have my own Discord server and play Wordle with my 11-year-old in our own game channel. Don't ask, please! 🤣

Roi Et wasn’t on my #Thailand list at all – and somehow it became one of my favorite places in Thailand. Quiet temples, a cold 13°C morning, and the best Isaan lunch by the water. Here’s my Roi Et travel story. travel-explore.asia/2025/11/16/r...

Almost 7 hours of footage, cut down to three, like 23-minute-long episodes. Started to edit the intro, and now I need to do the voice-overs. Well, I just need a voice like David Attenborough now. Then I am ready!

Today, I saw the mum of my son’s school- and football-friend for the very first time in this trailer. It feels strange to see someone you know suddenly on the big screen. Looking forward to watching the full movie, which was filmed in Manila.

I still wonder what happened in September. I was actually pretty active that time. 🤔 Well, at least it goes up again now.

Today in the Parents School WhatsApp group: During the parent-teacher conference, you can just join the @microsoft.com Teams call when you are logged out of your device. For security purposes. Another great Microsoft feature. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This Thai ad is probably one of the best I have seen in a very long time! 🤣🤣 Even worth the 4 minutes. Think positive 🙏 youtu.be/yBX5H3MVinU?...

There was a time when WhatsApp was cool. My generation will remember that time. But today I had to re-install Discord. Because my son never answers my WhatsApp messages. 🙄😂

When you hit 300,000 views on YouTube, you're proud, and you tell your son. And what did he answer? "I am soon on 2 million." I checked: He is exactly on 1,942,719 views. OK, let's catch up! 😆

Taking off in Hong Kong. 🇭🇰 ✈️ A picture made one week ago. And in one week, I’ll be there again. And heading to Koh Kood, Thailand.

Three more pictures from yesterday’s hike in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 🥾

On a hike yesterday. It was gloomy. But finally, after one week without training due to the business trip, I am training again.

I was traveling this week and didn’t take too many photos. But I tried it out from the plane, through a dirty window, at night. Not too easy. But Ho Chi Minh 🇻🇳 looks nice from the top.

I just re-discovered this post while editing the video about Sri Lanka. It's already been like 8 months since my holidays 😅

4 photos made today! The warmup. The captains before the game. The fans. The goalkeeper after the game. 6 : 2 win vs. Hoi King in the HKFA JCL. A good start into the weekend.

Match Day in Kwai Chung.!First Match Day for MLFA in the HKFA JFL. Good luck!

While I saw pictures of flooded streets in Bangkok, absolutely terrible images from Cebu, Philippines, and heavy flooding in Central Vietnam, the next Typhoon is set to approach the region. Severe Tropical Storm Fung-Wong is approaching 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Looking at my Todoist filters, I do feel there is a bit too much going on at the moment.

The Democrats who were elected have one thing in common: They did politics and more or less ignored Trump. They brought ideas and did not discuss why Trump is bad. This can be the recipe for success. I’m convinced: whoever shares Trump stories will make him just stronger!

Flight number 298 in my life - and something new. Two small kids (like 5-7 years old) ran to the toilet literally like 5 seconds before touchdown. I remember telling them “sit down”, and the cabin crew looked shocked 🫣 they were like 10 rows away from their seats. But all fine. Nothing happened!

It's November again. And the next 2 months will bring me to Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳, Bangkok 🇹🇭, Koh Kood เกาะกูด 🇹🇭, Chon Buri ชลบุรี, Delhi 🇮🇳, Rajkot 🇮🇳. Looking forward to these trips, even if it will be quite a busy time. 😅

Last night in #Batangas in the #Philippines. Tomorrow I’m heading back to Metro Manila and explore #BGC and #Poblacion in #Makati.

Sitting in a plane at Hong Kong International Airport, and as usual - we are starting almost an hour late. This year will be a record year for delayed flights. Look at my stats.

I've edited 44 minutes of my video so far, but there are still about 20 more left to work on. It's incredible how much footage I've filmed while travelling in Sri Lanka. Usually, I prefer short films, but after spending 14 days discovering that beautiful island, there's simply too much to share.

Today, I am just sharing a selfie. Short hike and workout in the woods around my house - and that orange-green snake almost bit me in my calf. 😅

The boys celebrate a birthday (of my son’s very good friend) today, and I drove with to Kung Tong. Lasertag and a football cake. Happy Birthday to the lucky boy. 🥰

This keynote reminds me a bit about the good old days when Apple did such things. Isn’t that actually a great announcement? Where is the catch?
