I'm Sébastien H. 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.
