What’s up reader, I’m Seven. Back for another weekly soliloquy (weekliloquy, copyright BKK7). Wow, is it me or did 2018 blow by in the blink of an eye? It’s hard to believe the year is already over. If you’re like me, you waited till the last minute to think about making plans for the 31st,…

Verse of Vice: a Gogo-Inspired Rhyme
For this Frowback Friday, I’ve got a little rhyme for you. It was previously published on Sweet3Mango, and I’ve reposted the intro as well. I hope you like it: “Hey there, stranger. It’s me again. I’m Seven, and I live the dream in case you can’t. For some reason I can’t divine, my brain has…
I’m Dreaming of a Thai Christmas
Season’s greetings, folks. It’s that time of year again. Specifically, that bittersweet time when expats in Thailand weigh the pros and cons of spending Christmas in The Land of Smiles. And it is bittersweet. The hotel buffets don’t get mom’s stuffing right. The malls consider Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas” a traditional carol, playing it over…
A Red-Light Xmas Poem
Happy season folks, it’s Seven here, and this isn’t a ‘frowback.’ Instead it’s a smidge of Christmas cheer from yours truly to all those wistful whoremongers out there who’ll be in a red light district this year instead of some relative’s house with all those in-laws, second cousins, and their most recent yet soon to…

Two Wrongs–Cheating on a Bar Girl
Hey folks, it’s Frowback Friday again. This blog was previously posted to Bangkoknites and today it’s being given a new home. If you haven’t read it before, Seven hopes you enjoy it: “I know what you’re thinking. A bar girl is someone you cheat with, not on. But that’s because you’re not me. Seven only…
Last Week on Patpong for 9 December 2018
Hey there, internet surfer. How’s your day going? It’s your man Seven, fresh from another week soaking up the scene in Bangkok’s best red light district. Per usual, it was packed with fun, frolicking, and fanny-grabbing. There were also a few events worth noting. And here they are: The Steakhouse Co. started opening for lunch…
Frowback Friday: What Are the Best and Worst Gogos in Patpong?
Hey everybody, it’s Seven again, and today’s Frowback Friday covers a topic in flux. That topic is the question of the best gogo in Patpong. Now that Electric Blue is no more, and Bada Bing is seeing a dip in popularity, new gogos have risen from the pavement chewing gum. It’s perhaps poetic that Bing’s…
Confessions of a Red-Light Addict Part 4: Shart of Darkness
What does it say about me that I waited until my late 40s to try cocaine for the first time? And that I did so in a Bangkok gogo bar? Could it be a red flag, a warning sign, a harbinger of an inevitable downward spiral decorated here and there by random panties, bras, and…
