Il y a moins de 2 semaines, j’étais à Siem Reap et fais un très beau voyage. Cette semaine, je commence à écrire un livre avec une suédoise que je ne connais même pas. Je l’ai rencontré qu’une seule fois. Je n’ai aucune idée ou cela va mener… Mais prendre des risques, cela fait partie de la vie.
Juridiquement, nous avons un texte sur les CONDOMINIUMS en Thaïlande.

Visitor Tips
La Vie Est Parfois Drole
Located in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), this is one of the many dining options available to visitors and expats in the Isaan region of Thailand. When visiting restaurants in Korat, it is customary to order several dishes to share. Most restaurants in this area serve both Thai and international cuisine, and staff often speak some English.
Getting There
Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) is located approximately 250 km northeast of Bangkok. You can reach Korat by bus from Bangkok’s Mo Chit terminal (about 3.5 hours), by train from Hua Lamphong station, or by minivan from Chatuchak. Tuk-tuks and songthaews (shared trucks) are the most common local transport within the city.
About Isaan Cuisine
The Isaan region of northeastern Thailand has its own distinct culinary tradition, influenced by Lao and Khmer cultures. Signature dishes include som tam (spicy papaya salad), larb (spiced minced meat salad), sticky rice (khao niao), and grilled chicken (gai yang). Food in Isaan tends to be spicier and more sour than central Thai food, using ingredients like padaek (fermented fish sauce) and fresh herbs.
Sebastien Brousseau blogs about life in Thailand — what is this site about?
sebastienbrousseau.com is a personal blog by Sebastien H. Brousseau documenting life, food, travel, and law in northeastern Thailand (Isaan), with a focus on Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), Surin, Roi-Et, and surrounding provinces. It covers authentic local experiences rarely found in mainstream travel guides.
What is life like as a foreigner in Isaan, Thailand?
Isaan offers a remarkably affordable and authentic Thai lifestyle. Cost of living is very low, the food is outstanding, communities are welcoming, and the pace of life is relaxed. Most foreigners in Isaan are married to Thai nationals, retired, or teaching English. The region is the most Thai-feeling part of the country.
Is it difficult to adapt to life in rural Thailand?
Adapting to rural Thailand requires patience, some Thai language learning, and openness to a very different daily rhythm. In return you get a genuine community life, incredible food, very low costs, and a warmth and hospitality that Bangkok’s urban environment rarely provides.
What resources exist for foreigners living in Isaan?
English-language information about Isaan is scarce compared to Bangkok or the tourist south. Blogs like sebastienbrousseau.com, expat Facebook groups, and sites like ThaiLawOnline.com (for legal questions) are valuable resources. Learning conversational Thai makes daily life significantly easier in the northeast.

Hoi An is one of the most beautiful small towns in Asia – in dry season. In wet season it floods. February to early May is the sweet spot. A 2014 dry-season visit, plus the food (cao lau, mi quang), the Marble Mountains, My Son ruins, and why timing matters more than the guidebook says.
