Thanks boss. I'm flattered someone would want to expand the Romscar brand of excellence to more fields other than the sissy industry. I had been thinking of something like that myself namely a Rombel Peace Prize for World Leaders which I would award to Joe Biden just to snub Trump. The rationale would be posthumous recognition that Biden for the 4 years he was president had saved the world from wars and mayhem Trump would have started. Regarding the choice of a "Romscar Song of the Year" the 2 nominated above are strong contenders from a global hits perspective, but I think a Romscar Song of the Year should have something to do with ladyboys. Not necessarily about them, or sung by them but a song ladyboys relish and can identify with and enjoy. The one such song in 2025 I can think of is Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra" which as soon as it played in the PH clubs I partied at would instantly get my posse of sissies all on the dance floor dancing exuberantly and joyfully. I witnessed it was popular in TH clubs as well and Tha played it at Bon Bar. In addition, or for the same reason as the sissies dig it, "Abracadabra" was arguably 2025's #1 hit in the wider pop song realm. Does anyone agree? Have other suggestions?

I think 2025 was a relatively weak year for new music. My nominee for the Romscar Song of the Year is the Disco Lines Remix of Tinashe's No Broke Boys. The original was released in 2024 but the Remix became a breakout hit in 2025. Tinashe is a Las Vegas Raider fan, probably the worst team in American Football. My other nominee would be Olivia Dean's So Easy. Great video. Olivia is a strong supporter of West Ham United FC any other nominees?

merci Max. what you reported about KRUs: "few girls, small, and dull" is the exact opposite of my experience (4 or 5 visits). Did you see the upstairs mini go-go area where the opposite of dull happens? One of the things that impressed me was that there were 8 sissies simultaneously on the downstairs stage and more than that around the bar and outside. And 1 of those sissies was Fang arguably the most beautiful ladyboy in Pattaya, plus 3 or 4 silicone and hormone-free scrawny sissies just how I likes em . The only thing I did not like about KRUs was the 1000 baht barfine. I don't know if ST in the bar would be less. Perhaps. I guess I will need to check it out better when Im there in March. If anyone wants to check KRUs out for yourself and help me out, as luck would have it tomorrow Friday 19 December they have a birthday party with freebies and the usual sexpects. I know Ian requires ALL ladyboys on his paylist to attend the parties so there should be many. Please tell Ian Hi for me. Pics from their FB:

2 comments on KRU and Bradley's. KRU was the place I chose for my first night out in Pattaya in July 2025. Big disappointment: very few girls, small place, and a dull atmosphere. I had a drink with Pumpui and I was surprised, having seen videos of the old location near WS. Maybe the move and renovations were still underway. Anyway, I'm going back in 2026. As for Bradley's: I walked past it almost every day, and in my opinion, their problem is their choice of girls. All the other bars on Soi Chaiyapoon use attractive girls to lure passersby. At Bradley's, there are no bombshells. As a result, no one enters the room.

That's a good review thanks Woodie. And I agree with much of it... and realize during 2025 I missed out on Peachy Lily which I avoided due to some lingering tension with Lily when I am there (we had one intense week of sex and illusions pre-covid when Lily was at her Naklua zenith and apparently she came to regret me). The times I went to Peachy Lily were at the insistence of the other Cambodjan Ly Ly from Cindy's (who like Woodie I also am very fond of). Ly ly was agreeable to my fantasy of a 3sum with her, Lily and I that you bet I would have bragged about here for ages but helas! it never happened as Lily would not even entertain the thought ... (I did barfine other Peachy Cambodjans and we 3sumed with Ly Ly as TRed here...).... During 2025 I hooked up with Ly Ly only on my first trip as she was caught outside TH during the subsequent trips and as a result I did not go back to Peachy Lily. All this to say that romscarwise during 2025 I did not cover Peachy Lily sufficiently.... But I think it's safe to conclude from the posts so far that Peachy Lily is a contender along with my frontrunner (here we go PG!) which is KRUs that has the best line up and the poshest space and remains the only ladyboy go-go in Pattaya worthy of the go-go attribution with multiple ladyboys on stage. Both Peachy and KRUs are co-owned and managed by Ian who used to be an active BM and who, on a personal note, always treated me nice even when I was being crucified at PY by his treacherous sycophants. So Ian may be getting the Romscar subject to me revisiting both his bars and confirming the grounds for bar of the year choice. Now... a couple of wild cards remain I have not visited: this Bradley club (Bradley? wtf is Bradley?) and the infamous Ladyboy Mansion that I heard made a comeback or maybe someone else is using that name. Is it true? So please anyone who knows about these 2 establishments please share. Sorry Herberth/Delirious your bar remains the top notch gathering spot, well-staffed with empathic lower prices but has won Romscar Bar of the Year already, which raises standards for repeating as I favor newcomers that bring something new and exciting to the scene. It might have helped if Herberth had kept posting here instead of caving in to the PY pressure not to (which other bar owners also succumbed to...). Sorry Cindy/Secrets! Sorry Tha/Bon Bar! Your bars won the last 2 years but, for reasons I understand, had setbacks in 2025. Sorry also to the BKK bars, namely CIB which has been consistently the best-staffed, most fun bar in TH but is pricing itself out of budget mongering territory. Thanks for the posts.

I have just returned from a trip to BKK and Pattaya. Less said about the bf at CIB 10 the better. 1000b after 12.00 and taking the girl from CIB 10 to CIB 11 as she had not seen it, and that after buying a lot of the girls in 10 a drink. It stirred me up I can tell you. Even after having a discussion with Fiat at 11, I did not cool down. The principal of it stinks! Back to the bar of 2025. After the CIB 10 fiasco I spent more time in Patts. I did not visit every bar there, but most of them. I would rate Peachy Lilies, Cindys and Delirious as front runners. Different styles of course. Spent a lot of time in Cindys due to my attachment to Lyly. A good one but very open which slows down the activity. Visited 69, Bon, and KRU. Not overly impressed, but could have been me on the night. 69 is the hangout of my ex. Missed out on New Bar, Bradleys. Did visit Dungjai and would have bf'd one of the girls except she was on the way to being pissed!. Not for me, even though we got to the stage of testing each others gear out, which seems to be std at that bar. The parties held at Cindys and Peach Lily influenced me a bit. One of the only times I got my timing right for those nights. If either of those two got the nod, I could not argue. The girl with the dripping wax at Peachy's took the award for the body of my trip. Sorry do not know her name, suffice to say I was impressed! Best nipple/Boob combo I have seen for a long time. Was tempted to help her peel the wax off! Finish off by saying that it was probably the best trip I have had and only 2 weeks which I thought may have been a negative, but was not. As it worked out, I spent more time in Patts which may be the pattern in the future.

If you are doing a ST in a bar's room upstairs, it is sometimes better not to even say the word barfine to avoid confusion. Many bars have a very low price which includes both the ST barfine and the upstairs room although others charge for the room.

Like said: CIB10 / CIB11 ! They have ridiculous bf rates, not even going to try to explain. But if you want to barfine a service girl from CIB, before midnight, for LT in the weekend ... better bring 2K. This includes nothing else, than taking her out of the bar.

Thanks Dan. 2000 baht for a ladyboy barfine ? have never been quoted more than 1000 ... (for a 20 yo GG stunner yes! 3000 for a Walking Street "spotlight girl" and I was told it was a special low rate bc she liked me). May I ask what sissy bar asked for 2000 and if it included some room service already? One disturbing trend that is spreading both in TH and PH is the dual ST/LT barfine quotes... I remember when I started mongering there were no STs unless we had no time for the hoes ... I am so old that I remember 200 baht barfines in the Pattaya beer bars and 700 pesos LT barfine with sex included in the PH go-gos....

CS11: 600 THB WN04: 600 THB CIB10 / CIB11: 600 - 2000 THB (depending on time, day, role, ST/LT.

My last trip was in July. I'm not obsessed with receipts, but as far as I remember, I didn't pay any 1000 THB barfines. I barfines at Peachy Lily, Delirious, CIB 10, CIB 11, B 52, and Why Not. However, GG,s are expensive; Galaxy on WS is quite pricey, and KINK is too, but less so.

Thanks Max, Dan allow me to further gather info from you and perhaps other BMs... One of the criteria for awarding the Bar of the Year is PRICES of drinks and barfines, which have been going up both in BKK and Patts since tourism fully recovered from COVID. We are now seeing 1000 baht barfines in Pattaya (KRus! at least that's what they asked me. Confirm anyone?) and even Delirious had raised their anytime barfine to 600 b and discontinued the after-midnight 300 baht discounted (confirm???). How much is it at Peachy Lily? Last time I took Cambodjans from there (at CS Lily's insistence for group sex and with Peach Lily's blessing) it could not have been more than 600, which is (or used to be?) my red line also for BKK. But I already got used to paying 1000 b for a Treetown GG I am very fond of and I think I will soon be paying that much for the sissies... Likewise for beers that are edging close to 100 in the lower price bars... Not to mention the lady drinks that are skyrocketing everywhere... Can anyone please share their recent experiences with barfine PRICES? Likewise for drinks... Especially BKK CS, CIB, CIB11 and the Nana bars... anything still under 1000? over 1000????????? Thanks.

Improvements at Why Not are very recent @Rom, talking last month here, so you might haven't seen them yet! Posh, that's probably the perfect word to describe Check In 11! Unlike Lusty Ladies (which has only ladyboys visiting (except Pai as cashier), CIB11 is located directly on Soi 11. Very near LL though, located next to Soho Pizza. It covers only 20% of the space LL does. I'll be in Bangkok in March, but only at month end. Would be nice to catch up

For me, the best bars are: In Pattaya: 1/ Peachy Lily...the perfect size, not too big, not too small, beautiful girls dressed very sexy, honest staff, a private and discreet location. And 2/ Delirious...like Peachy Lily, but the girls' quality is more uneven, and the bar is completely open to the street. In Bangkok: 1/ Check in Bar 10...beautiful, sexy, slutty, and friendly girls, a discreet location. 2/ B52...a very hot atmosphere, beautiful girls. 3/ Check in 11...very beautiful girls like Sammy-Claire, Lin, and Penny, a well-located and classy location. This bar is still finding its clientele but shows promise.

Groet Dan M, good to hear from you again with a very substantial post. Contrary to you I prefer Pattaya more and more over BKK because of rising prices (for sissies, booze and the panoramic riverfront hotels where I prefer to stay) and growing number of greedy taxi drivers who refuse metering and destinations. The times I stayed there in 2025 I brought along a Pattaya sissy or GG which limited my BKK butterfying and barfining. Still I managed to assess (like you!) that Cindy's BKK and CIB lost ground and (unlike you!) Why Not also... I never visited CIB 11 !!! and I like the part you report about freelancers. I remember another posh bar on soi 11 --Lusty Ladies-- that had come and go ladyboys. Did it become CIB11? As regards Pattaya you have not been there but we are very much in agreement as regards KRU. Peachy Lily is a strong contender too and every year since it opened it fell just short of the Romscar. I hope a few more BMs share their views like Dan just did and I assure you I can be nudged in favor of a bar hailed by LBR BMs (but not Emmy's please!). For my part I booked my trip yesterday and will be in TH early March and will do one last round of the Pattaya bars before I give the award. Does anyone have anything to say on the New 69 bar? Last time I was in Pattaya it had just relocated, was well staffed (compared to the Myth Night Plaza ladyboyless version) and threw a party every week. Thanks again Dan. If you are in BKK in March maybe we can have a drink and catch up.

Well @Rom, let me give you my 2 cents ... Haven't been in Pattaya myself since January, but visited all BKK bars recently and multiple times over the year. BKK Cindy’s Secrets; still struggling with the forced exit of all Khmer girls. Top girls still haven't returned, and one left for Cockatoo. Slowly getting on track again, but not a candidate for this year's award. Check In bar; seriously declining. Many girls left, boring vibe in the bar, girls play their phones all the time, lack of proper management, since Angie (as new appointed manager) clearly isn't capable. Not a candidate. Why Not bar; increasing in popularity. Nam's experiment with the Why Club unfortunately failed, so after closing it a month ago, some serious improvements (long overdue) have been made in Soi 4. Problem remains the low number of girls, not a candidate. CIB11; newly opened this year. Managed by Fiat. Beautiful interior, most classy ST rooms from all bars. Great cocktails available, but they come at a price. Drink begging similar to Check In bar, very annoying. Few great girls on staff, many FL ladies daily in (around 10pm only). Bar has pre-ops and posties. Bar layout is not ideal, not spacious enough to sit down with 3 or 4 persons together. Still developing, maybe a candidate for next year. Pattaya: Personally, I hate the place. Didn't visit since January and won't be going back soon. But based on stories of a few friends, there are two venues for which the award could be considered. In random order: Peachy Lilly; does very well. Cozy atmosphere, good music and a great selection of girls. KRU; best move ever from Soi Diamond to Buakhao area, which clearly is now ladyboy mongers paradise. They have an awesome line-up, which makes the choice not easy. A good friend visited last week, and over the course of the evening, climbed the stairs 4 times, every time with a different girl! I won't recommend a venue, just consider the info to your preference

PG please.... I think my vagueness about Jie Jie is sufficiently indicative of my misgivings and warnings about the place which would be against Board rules to discuss. Especially since they are based on personal impressions, not documented facts. Let's leave it at that. The other bar is my preferred choice so far and likely will be the winner (unless the Bradley joint is some sort of revelation) but I deliberately did not say the name to see if other BMs nominate it or flag shortcomings of which it has a major one. In due time I will name it and share my take wether it wins or is runner up. I might just add that there is always Delirious that as far as I can tell remains the most frequented gathering spot for the sissy sexpats and there is the New 69 bar that rebooted in Chayapoom and seemed to be making a comeback from the fiasco that followed the Myth Night Plaza reboot... I promise to do one last round of on the spot due diligence when I go back to Pattaya before awarding the Romscar. Bon Bar my pick last year has had setbacks due inter alia to litigation and as much as I like the owner and would like to boost morale she is going to be disappointed.

What you’re saying is of interest to the community. You’ve told us enough to spark interest, but not enough to fully understand what’s going on. If you don’t mind, could you explain what this is about, both regarding Jie Jie (the community does enjoy gossip) and the other venue ?

Thanks pdoggg & bumblebee, You mention strong contenders. In the case of Jie Jie I would have awarded it last year but there's a snag I'd rather not discuss here. All I can say is if you shop there: tread carefully... Peachy Lily appears to have become more popular, but there is another relocated bar by the same entrepreneur that is posher with more staff, including one that rivals Lily's beauty at her apex... if you been there you know which bar and which sissy I am talking about, so please opine... if you have not, stay tuned.

I haven’t been out too much since I got here so have limited experience of the various venues. I did visit the above mentioned Jie Jie bar one night and enjoyed my time there. Spacious and hassle free, two positives in my books. Haven’t made it to Bradley’s yet so no input to add there.

Given that Peachy Lily is a Romscar virgin, I'd rank it as the favorite. Lot's of good things about that joint. Jie Jie Bar would be my dark horse candidate. As of this writing, you can't place a Romscar bet on either Polymarket or Kalshi.

Haven't booked yet, but yesterday I decided I am going back to SE Asia in February 2026. Besides occupational and medical care agendas we all have, this was not such an easy decision because I just started going out with a white lady almost my age and I dont want her to dump me out of deslike for my butterflying plans, at least not until I fuck her ass which hasnt happened so far butt she promised... But I digress... My prospective trip will comprise both PH and TH and the first destination hinges on who I assess to provide me the best GFE on the forthcoming Valentine's Day that will fall within the trip period. Should I spend it with a still gorgeous Pattaya ex-superstar sissy who recently rekindled contact with me? With a voluptuous and superfun Pattaya MILFy GG who is back in the bar after burning through (what I estimate to have been) 10s of thousands USD in sponsor remittances? The pornographic Manila crackhead whore I've know for 20+ years? My Manila femboy crush Mowgli who I care too much for, almost like a son/daughter ? A scrawny Manila sissy I met in a club on the last night of my previous trip and has kept in touch and is not a prosti? A posse of all the straggler sissies in Angeles who, like in previous Valentines, I will treat and romance collectively on Valentine's night until we all end up in a pile of drunken, naked bodies at my hotel?... Yes I digress again but it's on purpose. I hadnt posted in a while and it's not because I stopped looking, but because I had nothing ladyboyish to say... but here I am again. Let's cut to the chase: Awarding the Romscar Ladyboy Bar of the Year is a laborious and rigorous endeavor which can make or break the contemplated or ignored bars and drive the respective farang owners to elation or desperation. That's why I try to be as best informed as possible and listen to all my sissy-chasing peers in making the decision, which is perhaps a task too formidable for a single man to undertake but which I've accepted with honour and humility in view of the general recognition and trust our mongers community has bestowed upon me based on my experience, fairness and wisdom and inclination to share them. I already have some frontrunners but I'd rather not reveal them so other fellow mongers can express their opinions without being influenced by mine. So gentlemen (all 4 or 5 of you) WHICH THAILAND LADYBOY BAR DO YOU THINK DESERVES THE 2025 ROMSCAR FOR BAR OF THE YEAR?

I took this photo in Macau... I cropped and edited it I then decided I want to replace the poster I have been using Photo Editor App on my phone, I assume is part of Google Gemini a lot to edit photos. i.e. I decided to use the Gemini website version to help me, as I have had a lot of successful this one at work updating images Unfortunately no matter what instructions I provided it insisted in dropping and changing the ratio of my image. I asked chat GTP but that wasn't offer ing such functionality. I've there for cropped the image Gemini gave me And used the InShot App to place picture in picture This was tricky trying to get it sized correctly of although rotation with correct. I've then resized and edited my image as per the original

I confess I am not sure what Snoop meant by "Big J"... my first thought was he was comparing me to Jesus (were you? if so thanks)... but I hadda be sure so I asked ChatGTP which is of the alternative view that Snoop is referring to my oversize endowment... (were you? if so, guilty as charged)... here's what I got from Chat GTP: My ChatGTP question: what did Snoop mean in a sex mongering context that Rom's "Big J" was not appreciated in his time? ChatGTP Output: That’s an interesting and layered phrase — let’s unpack it carefully. If Snoop (or someone else) said in a “sex mongering context” that “Rom’s Big J was not appreciated in his time”, there are a few clues to interpret: “Rom” — could be short for Romulus, Roman, or possibly someone named Rom (fictional or historical). Given the phrasing, it might evoke something ancient or mythic. “Big J” — slang often points to a sexual organ, or sometimes to a bold sexual persona or reputation. “J” might stand for “Johnson,” a common euphemism for the penis in English slang. “Not appreciated in his time” — that phrase suggests posthumous recognition or being ahead of one’s era. Putting it together, in a “sex mongering context”, the phrase likely means something like: “Rom had great sexual prowess or attributes (‘Big J’), but people didn’t value or acknowledge that during his lifetime.” In Snoop’s trademark mix of humor, wordplay, and sexual bravado, he might be implying that “Rom” was underappreciated for his sexual energy, confidence, or endowment — maybe even comparing him to artists or figures today who get more attention for that kind of thing. If you can give me the exact quote or the full line/context (like from an interview, lyric, or clip), I can give a more precise interpretation — Snoop’s wordplay often hinges on double meanings and cultural references. Again: I was not sure what PDoggg meant so I asked ChatGTP and damn! good response I got... My ChatGTP question: what could this possibly mean in a sex mongering context accompanied by a photo of three crucified filipinos: "Strangely enough, in that universe Rom had a very bad day in Angeles City one Friday"? ChatGTP Output: That phrase — “Strangely enough, in that universe Rom had a very bad day in Angeles City one Friday,” — when paired with an image of three crucified Filipinos, is very likely a dark or ironic commentary mixing real-world sex tourism, religion, and suffering. Here’s how it can be unpacked: “Angeles City” – This city in the Philippines is well-known for its sex tourism industry, particularly around the former U.S. Clark Air Base. References to Angeles City in a “sex mongering context” almost always allude to Western men visiting for transactional sex. “Rom” – Likely refers to a man (possibly a Western sex tourist) or a recurring character in a story or online forum. Saying he “had a very bad day” suggests that something went wrong — possibly a moral, physical, or legal downfall — in the context of sex tourism. “Three crucified Filipinos” – The Philippines has actual Good Friday crucifixion reenactments, where devotees are literally nailed to crosses in an act of penitence. Using that image could symbolize: Suffering or punishment, perhaps implying that “Rom” was metaphorically (or deservedly) crucified for his behavior. A grotesque juxtaposition — contrasting Filipino religious devotion with the exploitation of Filipinos in sex tourism. Or simply dark irony, turning the sacred (crucifixion) into a commentary on the profane (sex trade). “In that universe” – This phrasing implies a kind of alternate reality or ironic detachment, often used in meme or forum culture to make a grim or absurd joke. So overall, the line likely means something like: “In an alternate reality, this guy (‘Rom’) — who was engaging in sex tourism in Angeles City — got a taste of retribution or humiliation (symbolized by the crucifixion photo).” It’s probably intended as a darkly humorous or critical statement, possibly mocking or condemning the sex tourist (“Rom”), or commenting on the moral contradictions of such settings — indulgence amid suffering and religious piety. Would you like me to tell you how such phrases circulate or are used (e.g., in certain online forums or subcultures)?

Strangely enough, in that universe Rom had a very bad day in Angeles City one Friday, (photo by Snoop)
