Bar girls—or, you know, whatever you want to call them—gogo dancers—are like cats. They’re sleek, nimble, and impossible to train. No wait—I can think of a better simile. Gogo dancers (bar girls) are like hurricanes. They’re wet, they’re loud, and they go where the wind blows them. Hmmm. That’s not quite right. Let’s see……Gogobargirls are

October 21, 2018 By bangkok7
Hey folks, it’s me, Seven. I’m just livin’ the dream here in Bangkok, Thailand. If you’re stuck somewhere else in the world and can’t get here, I’ve got you covered. Just live vicariously through me. I’m magnanimous like that. It was a wet week on Patpong, and everywhere else in The City of Angels,

Actually, that’s not accurate. Turns out there’s more to The Steakhouse Co. than just fantastic steak. Hi. I’m Seven, and I try to live the dream for you, in case you can’t for whatever reason. And today I want to get something off my chest. Greetings from Patpong again, it’s me Seven. Let’s talk. When owner

Seven’s Weekly: October 14 2018
October 14, 2018 By bangkok7
This week on Patpong, it was more of the same but also a few different goings on (I’m sure there’s a better way to say that, but for the life of me, I can’t think of it). King’s Corner began a makeover, both inside and out. They’re not quite finished yet, but from the looks

Mex Near the Red Light: Nana
October 11, 2018 By bangkok7
Hello again, I’m Seven. I live the dream in case you can’t, and sometimes eat in crappy restaurants so you don’t have to. After the wild success of my series “Burgers near the Red-Light,” which literally dozens of people read, it seemed only natural to move on to the 3rd greatest food in the world after
