Seven’s Ten Top 10: Finding a Thai Wife o...
March 22, 2019 By bangkok7
This Frowback first appeared on Sweet3Mango….or maybe it was BKKNites, I can’t remember. Anyway, it was requested—sort of—by a reader that I tackle the minefield of dating-slash-marriage in the Land of Smiles, which I’ve done on several occasions but this time I took a different tack. It’s part of a series of 10 lists of

Salutations, reader. It’s your boy Seven, neck-deep in the heart of the red light district. I’m trying out a new series, the objective of which is to take apart some of the more inept claims, comments, and literary crimes in other people’s Bangkok-related blogs. That scene—The Bangkok blogger scene (BKBS for short)—is caught, as it

Thai Therapy: The Cure for PC BS
March 15, 2019 By bangkok7
Hey guys, it’s Friday again, and that means it’s time for another Frowback. This article was first published on Sweet3Mango last year. It’s part of the Thai Therapy series exploring the idea that one can cure many of The West’s ills simply by moving to Thailand. This one covers the topic of PC culture and

Hey everyone, it’s Seven again. Last night was media night at The Steakhouse Co. They held a private party for some of BKK’s most prolific food bloggers, and yours truly was there. The reason for the festivities was to roll out the new summer menu, much of which I’ve already tried over the last few

Thailand Problems: An Accidental Ode
March 8, 2019 By bangkok7
Howdy-ho, gents. Seven again. Comin to ya between pints in Patpong. In my life as a Bangkok whoremonger, I’ve often thought up sweet, gogo-inspired poetry whilst sitting stage-side in a red-light bar, but I usually forget the thing by the time I sober up. For today’s Frowback, I submit the first one that I was

In Seven’s long and storied history of whoremongering in the red-lights, he’s had some hits and misses (but thankfully no missus). The following is a record of the misses. What’s up friends, it’s your man Seven again. Here to come clean. Here to open up. To keep it real. Even in the red-light—the land of

Verse of Vice: a Red-light Rhyme
March 1, 2019 By bangkok7
Happy Friday gents, it’s Seven again. I’ve got another ditty for you. It’s been on the internet for a few months already—I think over at Sweet3Mango. I submit it here for your enjoyment (or loathing, and either way I couldn’t care less), along with the old intro: “Seven is a jack of all trades. No,

Happy weekday everyone, it’s your man Seven, reporting from the heart of the gogo. For this month’s Oddendum, I have something particularly odd and overtly endum. Over the course of the past year, I’ve invented some words that as far as I know did not previously exist in the lexicon. Mainly out of laziness, I

Bada Bing Gogo: My Personal Goodbye
February 24, 2019 By bangkok7
Hey there, stranger. Long time no see. It’s your man Seven, reporting as always stage-side in a red-light gogo bar. For this weekly, I’m paying tribute to a pillar of Patpong—Bada Bing gogo on Soi 2. At the end of this month, they will close their doors, remodel, and re-emerge as something else. Most likely,

What’s going on, reader? How’s life treating you? It’s Frowback Friday, and even though technically this isn’t a Frowback, and even though I know you don’t like poetry, I just had to post this. It just appeared this morning on my laptop. I must’ve really tied one on last night, because I don’t remember writing
