Hi, I'm Michael,
I'm a Bangkok-based urban explorer, purpose-driven entrepreneur and blogger with Thai-German roots.
I explore the invisible Bangkok, uncover unheard stories, support inspiring ideas and craft experiences around them.
EXPERIENCE MY THAILAND
To alleviate your travel bug during the pandemic I offer live guided virtual tours of Bangkok. My first tour focuses on the hidden urban communities in Chinatown.
Explore Bangkok with me from the comfort of your home.
WHAT DO TRAVELLERS SAY?
"Prepare yourself to fall in love with Bangkok, big times!"
Elise A., London, UK
“Very different, meaningful - outstanding”
Thomas B., Cologne
"First of all, this is not your regular 'tour'. This is basically not a tour. This is one of the only ways to see the true Bangkok - the local Bangkok."
Kristian S., Denmark
YOUR PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Have stunning pictures taken of yourself and your loved ones to level up your online presence or create special memories.
My team and my expertise as a location scout and fixer for international media productions allows me to provide you not only with a personal photographer but with unique locations and themes for your photoshoot.
Mapping & exploration
My goal for the coming years is to map my 10 favourite urban heritage landscapes in the Bangkok metropolitan region.
The stories of communities and people, the tours and projects will be rooted in these 10 regions as well as the Tha Chi and Maeklong River basins.
As someone who loves to ride a bike I'll do it all on a bike or on foot.
The QR Project
As I explore the historic communities I learn from the people about the history and heritage but also about the challenges. One is: economic distribution.
Local economies in many of the communities have been in decline. Tourists take photos but do not necessarily consume due to the lack of information and language barriers.
We work with food vendors and small entrepreneurs to design menus and produce videos about them. These video stories are then accessible through a QR scan on the menus so that travellers can learn about the food and the makers of the food.
I'd like to resume this project once the pandemic is under control, our cashflow permitting.
LEGAL SUPPORT FOR GREAT IDEAS
My passion is to help people. Whether through story telling or providing consultation to put their ideas on safe and legal grounds. My girlfriend is a licensed lawyer and we help civil society, entrepreneurs or digital nomads to legally register their organisations or startups in Thailand.
