Take This Blog and Love It Part 6
October 14, 2019 By bangkok7
Hello gents, It’s me Seven again. Back with another op-ed praising some smart person’s “love Thailand” blog. Amazingly, this one was written by a female farang. Shocking, right? How refreshing is it to not read some whiney diatribe about how her “eat-pray-love” holiday didn’t pan out how she expected. How nice not to be called

October 13, 2019 By bangkok7
One of Thailand’s many amazing attributes is the food. Thai food is a culinary odyssey unlike any other, but even more exciting is the vast array of foreign chefs, fusion restaurants, and avant garde establishments that make life here a foodie’s fantasy. Unfortunately for a middle-aged man like me, this also means getting fat. A

Delirium Days, Part 5
October 11, 2019 By bangkok7
Hello, and happy Friday. Bangkok Seven here, with another frowback to help wile away the remaining hours between now and the weekend. The wine-soaked whine below was written in the years leading up to my exodus from the prison known as The United States, and it depicts my state of desperation, inebriation, isolation, and social

For this week’s “Love It” entry, we’ve got a great blog from the good people over at Thaizer. They’ve found a lot to like about this amazing country, all accurate.

Delirium Days, Part 4
October 4, 2019 By bangkok7
Hello again, Seven here. Returning to the interweb to post another Frowback in the vein of the last few Fridays. It’s a drunken, wine-soaked litaise (literary malaise, copyright BKK7) on the topic of impending death. I confess, it’s something I think about a lot, though the nature of that introspection has changed over time. When

It’s Monday, folks. And what does every Monday have in common? They all suck. So let’s find something positive to meditate on. Here’s another ‘love-Thailand’ blog by a happy visitor who does nothing but sing the praises of TLOS. And as a kindred spirit, I’m all too happy to join in the love fest. Skipping

September 29, 2019 By bangkok7
Of the three red light districts in Bangkok, Nana has always been my 2nd favorite. But the times, they are a-changin’ gents, and the RLD isn’t immune to it. Used to be I’d hit Cowboy and Nana once a week, just for the chick variety and change of scenery. But over time I’ve kind of
