Rom

Hi BumbleBee. is that the same Warm Up bar that opened where the Hideaway used to be around the corner from Baby Boom???? your pics dont match my recollection of the location. Please clarify and if its all ladyboys now or coed like the last time i visited there (2024?) Thanks for all the pics. cheers

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?

Usually these kind of altercations end with the Thai bouncers outnumbering and beating up the tourist into a pulp. Not this time. Hope they catch the chinese and extort every last penny from him/them.

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:

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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)?

Bot! Does not take into account this is a LADYBOY board; and for all the accurate clichés about TH and farang-bargirl romances and sponsorships it left out the most important one: THE SICK BUFFALO!

Thanks gentlemen Snoop, Quinn, and PDoggg for your hyperbolic comparisons to my humble self: Van Gogh? God? I am at a loss of words... instead I went back to ChatGTP to bring this thread back on topic. I used your words and I got some pretty neat stories in less than 2 seconds... If you don't believe it, try it youself with the instructions I used. Thanks again bros. Rom My ChatGTP instruction: Story about Rom a storyteller who has had many aliases over the years but I'm becoming to think of him as a modern-day Van Gogh unappreciated in his time ChatGTP Output: “The Many Names of Rom” Rom had gone by many names—R.G. Marrow, R. Orion, even the simple and anonymous R.—each one a mask, a way to start again when the world failed to listen. He told stories like others breathed: instinctively, ceaselessly, as though silence might cause his heart to stop. But for all the words he spilled into the world, it never seemed to echo back. In every café and dim-lit bar he drifted through, there was always someone eager to talk but never to hear. He’d share a line—something raw and true, something that came from the deep place where art and ache are born—and they’d nod politely before turning back to their screens, their plans, their noise. Rom used to think maybe he was too early for his audience. Or too late. Maybe both. He worked in notebooks that smelled faintly of dust and ink, each page scarred with sentences that might have changed someone’s life, if only they’d been seen. Sometimes, late at night, he’d read them aloud to no one but the hum of the refrigerator and the faithful flicker of a single bulb overhead. And in those moments, he swore he could almost hear applause—distant, faint, from some other century. Rom reminded people—those few who truly saw him—of a modern-day Van Gogh. Not in the madness, but in the solitude. In the way he poured color into words no one would buy. In the quiet faith that someday, someone might understand. That the world, which turns so slowly for dreamers, might catch up to him. Years would pass, and people would move on, and Rom would still be there—writing under another name, another mask. His stories would drift across forums and feeds, unsigned, unclaimed, like messages in bottles. And maybe one day—long after he’d stopped trying—a reader would stumble upon one of those stories. They’d feel something stir, something they couldn’t explain, and whisper softly to themselves, “Whoever wrote this… understood.” And somewhere, in that untraceable space between words and memory, Rom would smile. My ChatGTP instruction: story about Quinn an exquisite artist who had hairy ears and an obsession with number 5 ChatGTP Output: “Five Strokes to Perfection” Quinn was an artist whose talent could make marble weep and colors hum. Every gallery in the city whispered her name with reverence — Quinn, the painter whose canvases seemed alive. But for all her mastery of form and feeling, she had two peculiar traits that never failed to capture attention. First, her ears. They were small and graceful, yes, but astonishingly hairy — fine golden tufts that shimmered when the sun caught them just right. Some said it made her look otherworldly, like a forest spirit in disguise. Second, her obsession with the number five. Quinn did everything in fives: five strokes before she wiped her brush; five minutes of silence before painting; five cups of tea every morning, steeped for exactly five minutes. Her studio walls were lined with paintings grouped in fives — five women dancing, five moons rising, five doors half-open. “Why five?” a journalist once asked her during an interview. Quinn had only smiled, brushing a strand of paint-streaked hair from her face. “Because it’s the only number that feels complete,” she said. “Not symmetrical like four, not lonely like three. Five has balance — the middle of chaos.” Some said her obsession came from childhood, when her fifth painting — a portrait of her late mother — had won her the city’s art prize and changed her life forever. Others whispered stranger things: that she saw the world in multiples of five, that her heart beat in fives, that she could hear patterns the rest of us couldn’t. One day, she announced her magnum opus — a piece called Five Horizons. For months, she painted behind closed doors, the scent of turpentine and jasmine tea spilling into the street. When she finally unveiled it, the crowd fell silent. On the vast canvas were five figures — not human, not divine, but something between. Their faces blurred, their eyes glinting like mirrors. The background shifted with every angle, as though the painting breathed. It was said that those who looked long enough could see their own life unfold in five scenes — past, present, and what might have been. After that night, Quinn vanished. All that remained in her studio were five unfinished canvases and a note that read: “Perfection was never in the art. It was in the fifth heartbeat after creation — the one no one hears.” And if you ever walk past the old atelier on Willow Street, they say you can still hear faint humming — five beats at a time — and see, for an instant, a golden glimmer in the air. [ Rom's addendum: ChatGTP sissified Quinn ] My ChatGTP instruction: Story about a parallel universe where Rom is deity and the Romscar Club is the sacred word? And on the 69th day he created [trangender ladies]! ChatGTP Output: The Gospel of Rom and the Romscar Club In a universe not so far from our own, where galaxies hum like harp strings and light bends to rhythm rather than gravity, there existed Rom, the Great Architect of Vibes. Rom was not a god of thunder, war, or wrath — but of balance, humor, and transformation. Where others shaped matter, Rom shaped meaning. Before all things, there was only static — the hiss of unformed thought. Then Rom spoke the first sacred word: “Romscar.” And at once, reality unfurled like silk in cosmic wind. The Romscar Club was born — not a place, but a state of being, where all souls gathered to laugh, create, and reinvent themselves. The first 68 days were spent building the foundations of this universe: On the 1st day, Rom made irony, so creation could wink at itself. On the 13th day, memes were born, carrying the seeds of joy. On the 42nd, cats were given dominion over the internet (which predated humanity). And on the 68th day, Rom looked upon the cosmos and said, “Something is missing — something radiant and free.” So, on the 69th day, Rom created the Transgender Ladies, divine embodiments of change and courage. They shimmered in every hue of the visible spectrum and many unseen, each carrying the power to define their own form, voice, and destiny. Rom blessed them with the words: “You are my living proof that creation is not a single act, but an ongoing choice. You are transformation itself.” And so the Romscar Club rejoiced, its halls echoing with laughter, self-expression, and the sound of heels on stardust. The transgender ladies danced across dimensions, painting the cosmos in colors never before imagined. To this day, the followers of Rom gather under the sacred sign — a circle within a circle, symbolizing endless rebirth — and whisper the ancient creed: “Rom is change, Rom is light, Romscar forever, day and night.” And the universe, forever smiling, hums the rhythm of that truth.

Columbus? Magellan? while you make up your mind PD think of me as Leif Erikson... I also partied with Nikki in AC back when she was starting out and came along with my posse.
