Hanoi Train Street: An Evening by the Tracks, and the 2026 Rules
Hanoi Train Street in 2026: an evening at a trackside cafe around 7 PM, plus train times, the buy-a-drink rule, fines, safety and a legal place to watch trains.
I'm Sébastien Brousseau, a Canadian who moved to Thailand in 2004 and never quite left. Twenty-two years later I spend my time on long road trips through places most foreigners miss, eating things I can't always name, and writing it all down in English and French.
This blog is where those journeys live: travel notes from Isaan to the islands, food finds from Phetchaburi to Roi-Et, and the occasional opinion from someone who has watched Thailand change across two decades from a front-row seat.
I'm also a lawyer. For legal work (wills, property, company set-up, divorce), visit ThaiLawOnline.com, my Thai law firm serving expats in English and French since 2004.
500+ first-hand articles in English, French and Thai: Isaan road trips, food finds, temples, night markets and the places most guides skip.

My summary of a week in Seoul: Jongno 3-ga (number 1 on Time Out’s 2026 list), a good-value hotel, solo Korean BBQ, KBO baseball, the DMZ, Olive Young and not one taxi.
My first days in Seoul: the airport bus to Jongno 3-ga, a capsule hotel, cheap palaces, Ikseon-dong (my favourite), Gwangjang Market, Korean BBQ, Korean beef tartare (yukhoe) and a soju warning.
Four Korean places in Hua Hin that Thai and English reviewers keep coming back to: Myeongdong, Korean Conner, Sunseouls and Seoulmate, with hours and prices. Plus my own take: I’ve been to Myeongdong and Hanmiwon, and Myeongdong is way better.
Where to eat seafood in Cha-Am: the market by the pier first, then View Talay, Sungwean, Krua Jeh Nong and Platoo, with what reviewers say, what they paid, and why Wednesday is the wrong night.
Visa, TM30, 90-day report, re-entry permit, bank, lease, insurance, police clearance, a will and one folder. The order I’d do things in if I moved to Thailand today.
Thai permanent residency ends the yearly extension and the 90-day report. It doesn’t end the work permit, the re-entry endorsement or the land rules. What changes day to day, from someone who has it.
