I'm Sébastien H. Brousseau — a Quebec-trained lawyer who moved to Thailand in 2004 and never quite left. Twenty-two years later I split my time between legal work, long road trips through places most foreigners miss, and eating things I can't always name.
This blog is where those three lives overlap. You'll find expat legal explainers, Isaan travel notes, 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.
For legal work — wills, property, company set-up, divorce, prenuptials — visit ThaiLawOnline.com, my Thai law firm serving expats in English and French since 2004.

Bhutan’s Festivals: Mask Dances and Phalluses If you ask any Bhutanese person when the best is time to visit their country, they won’t go on about the weather, cheap flights, or when fruits are in season.
