Now I stay since 4 years in Thailand. I always planned to leave Europe. But I never expected to live in Asia or Thailand…

Usually I decided together with my Exwife to go to Cyprus or somewhere else. The most important point was, it shoul be warmer and without snow. Normally I wanted to go to South America. But my Exwife scared long distance flights.

But in 2005 in happened. As we were self-employed, I always was very busy. 14-16 hours working a day was normal. So it came that my exwife started an affair with a good friend of mine. At the same time I had some closer contact to a friend. And that friend lived that time in Thailand. To relax a bit from the situation with my exwife he invited me to visit him for a few weeks. And he also said, if I’d like to live over there in Thailand – no problem, as both of us are doing the same work – internet marketing.

So I agreed and in February 2006 I came the first time to Thailand. He picked me up at the airport in Bangkok and brought me straight to the place he lived that time: Mae Sot at the Burmese border in Northwest-Thailand. There I stayed 3 weeks. And yet in Thailand I decided to relocate to Thailand. So it came that I booked my ticket back to Thailand for 3 months later, while I still were in Thailand. 3 months I needed as i had to clear everything in Europe and of course to sell.

I remember like yesterday the following 3 months back in Europe. Even when I had a lot of work with my business but also with cleaning the house, I thought this time will never end. Some friends were really wondering, how it’s possible to leave at least from one day to the next. Well, the point was very easy to explain: it was the chence of my life to relocate: anyway I had to start a new part of my life. And starting from zero at home or in another country – where is the difference? So I took this chance.

And than, 3 months later, finally it was my last day in Munich. It was a strange feeling. In a way it was like going for some vacation. But on the other hand I knew very well that this was a final step, at least for the next time. And so I came to Asia. And since this time I never looked back to Europe. It was one of the steps in my life, if I have the choice to decide again, I would do again, while many other things not.

Since this time I have seen many things over here. Bad things but also good things. About many things I think different now. Other things became very important for me while other thing, which were very important before, are not important anymore. I lived not only in Mae Sot. I also live in other provinces. And in other countries like Cambodia.

In this blog it’s about informations and news for people which are interested into this region. But it’s also about my life and my experiences over here. So mixed well
