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

Perhaps there is a parallel universe where Rom is deity and the Romscar Club is the sacred word? And on the 69th day he created sissys!

I was clearly wrong when I mentioned Columbus as he never sailed the Pacific. Magellen is to the Philippines as Duarte Fernandez is to Siam. Congrats on being one of the early conquistadors of Nikki!

A spam post, now deleted, bumped this thread so I'll make a brief comment. A good buddy of mine discovered her in the Philippines before she came to Thailand and rebranded herself as a dom. Think he was the first foreigner of which she had carnal knowledge. Guess he was the modern day equivalent pf Ferdinand Magellan.

A foreign man was injured after allegedly assaulting a ladyboy on a footpath in Bangkok’s Sukhumvit area, prompting a group of bystanders to chase and attack him in retaliation. The violent incident, captured on video and shared by ThaiRath and the Facebook news page You Know on October 27, has sparked calls for accountability. The footage shows a foreign man in a black shirt repeatedly attacking a ladyboy in a yellow dress. He pushed the victim to the ground, kicked them several times and was dragged along the pavement while screaming for help. Despite attempts to defend themself, the victim was overpowered. Several other ladyboys nearby shouted at the attacker to stop. One witness tried to intervene but was forced to flee when the man turned on them and threw rubbish in their direction. The exact date and time of the incident remain unclear, but a street sign in the video suggests it occurred in an alley off Sukhumvit Road. Shortly after the assault, a group of Thai men who had witnessed the attack intervened. The footage later shows them chasing and attacking the foreign man in apparent retaliation for his actions. Towards the end of the video, the foreign man is seen lying on the ground with a bloodied head while one of the Thai men scolds him for his violent behaviour toward the ladyboy The extent of the foreign man’s injuries has not been officially confirmed, but witnesses described them as serious. Police have not yet released a statement or identified those involved in the incident. The motive behind the attack remains unclear. https://aseannow.com/topic/1377208-foreign-man-injured-after-assaulting-ladyboy-in-bangkok/

Bangkok, 26 October 2025 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), under the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, welcomed the United Airlines inaugural flight from Los Angeles to Bangkok, marking the airline’s return to Thailand after more than 11 years and restoring connectivity between the two nations. Operated daily via Hong Kong, the route enhances travel convenience for North American travellers while reaffirming Bangkok’s position as a leading gateway to Asia and a major hub for long-haul travel. The stop in Hong Kong will also allow customers from United’s San Francisco to Hong Kong flights to connect seamlessly onwards to Bangkok. United’s Los Angeles and San Francisco hubs offer connections to more than 75 destinations throughout the Americas United Airlines’ daily service between Los Angeles (LAX) and Bangkok (BKK) operates with a Boeing 787–9 Dreamliner, offering 257 seats across Polaris Business Class, Premium Plus, and Economy. The inaugural flight UA 820 departed Los Angeles at 23.15 hrs on 24 October and arrived in Bangkok at 11.25 hrs on 26 October (via Hong Kong). The return flight UA 821 departs Bangkok daily at 16.55 hrs and arrives in Los Angeles at 20.25 hrs on the same day, providing smooth transit through Hong Kong. The United Airlines inaugural flight to Thailand represents the first U.S. carrier to resume service to Bangkok since 2014, following the suspension of operations by both United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. This achievement highlights Thailand’s strong appeal as a preferred destination for international travellers and demonstrates the market’s confidence in the country’s tourism potentia The launch of the United Airlines service coincides with the continued growth of long-haul arrivals from North America, supported also by the existing non-stop Vancouver––Bangkok route operated by Air Canada. It also aligns with a renewed international spotlight on Bangkok, following major productions such as The White Lotus Season 3, which has further boosted global interest in Thai culture, lifestyle, and hospitality. The United States remains one of Thailand’s most promising long-haul markets, distinguished by strong spending power and high-value travel demand. Between 1 January and 24 October 2025, Thailand welcomed 808,288 American visitors representing a 5 percent increase compared with the same period last year. This places the U.S. among the top ten source markets for Thailand. Arrivals are expected to continue rising through the final quarter, with projections indicating that the number of American visitors could reach 1.09 million by year-end, generating an estimated 62 billion Baht in tourism revenue. https://thepattayanews.com/2025/10/26/united-airlines-officially-resumes-flights-to-thailand/

Prince Andrew is accused of using taxpayer-funded trips to Thailand for personal meetings with women while acting as the UK’s trade envoy. Former diplomat Ian Proud claims the prince combined official duties with private excursions to meet ladyboys, a practice known among embassy staff. This allegation adds to the scrutiny Andrew already faces amid his links to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre’s accusations. While serving as the UK’s trade envoy, Andrew reportedly frequented lavish Bangkok hotels and nightclubs. His interactions often included high-society ladyboys.

On October 11th, 2025, at 5:36 p.m., a Thai man aged between 25 and 35 was apprehended by civilians in Soi 6/1, along Pattaya Beach Road for committing an obscene act in public. The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, was detained by a group of bar security guards and tourists after he was caught masturbating in front of female bar staff in the popular nightlife area. According to Pol. Col. Anek Sarathongyoo, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, the suspect was found wearing a white t-shirt that reached his calves, women’s G-string underwear, a face mask, and a safety helmet to conceal his identity. He was not wearing pants. The incident, described as highly damaging to Pattaya’s reputation as a tourist destination, prompted immediate action from bar security personnel who restrained the man before notifying the police. https://thepattayanews.com/2025/10/12/man-arrested-in-pattaya-for-indecent-exposure-in-bar-area/

Why the Thai Baht Is Defying Economic Gravity On its current trajectory, the Thai baht is expected to record its biggest annual gain in six years against the US dollar, creating a headache for newly appointed Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s government. The rally has already pushed the baht to a four-year high against the dollar in September — and at first glance, the surge is puzzling. Thailand’s economy is far from stellar, weighed down by a 19% US tariff, sluggish tourism, high household debt and, ironically, the strength of its own currency. The currency has rallied some 5% against the dollar since US President Donald Trump’s so-called Liberation Day tariff announcement, outperforming most Southeast Asian peers, including the Singaporean dollar and Indonesian rupiah. Why is the Thai baht so strong? Thailand’s currency began to strengthen against the US dollar in mid-2024, around the same time the government launched an economic stimulus plan, tourism rebounded, and traders started selling the dollar ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s cycle of interest rate cuts. Recent gains, however, are more reflective of the current weakness in the US dollar, spurred by concerns over President Trump’s trade war and its pressure on the US economy, as well as fiscal largesse. That, in turn, has prompted investors to dump US assets as questions arose over the dollar’s traditional role as a reserve currency. Trump’s tariffs have also, more directly, aided the baht’s gains. Thailand’s current account surplus — a measure of how much its exports and foreign income exceed what it sends overseas — had already reached $13 billion as of August, well above the Bank of Thailand’s full-year forecast of $11 billion. Much of this was driven by stronger-than-expected exports, such as cars, shipped early in the year ahead of impending US tariffs. The baht has also benefited in another way: while the US imposed a 19% duty on imported goods from Thailand, the country has attracted manufacturers seeking to sidestep the even steeper 30% levy placed on many Chinese products by building factories there. Foreign and domestic investment proposals — including new plans in digital, electrical and rail infrastructure projects — for Thailand reached $32.5 billion in the first half of 2025, up 139% from a year earlier. Most intriguing, perhaps, is that the value of the baht has been influenced by the price of gold, which has surged nearly 50% this year as investors offloaded US assets in favor of alternatives, including the safe-haven metal. The 30-day correlation between gold and the baht climbed to 0.88 in June, the highest in almost three years. A near 70% surge in Thailand’s gold exports to 254 billion baht in the first seven months of the year also led to a surge in dollar inflows, boosting the local currency further. What do gold prices have to do with the baht? Gold holds deep cultural and financial significance in Thailand, where it’s widely used as a savings vehicle, a religious offering, and a store of wealth passed down through generations. Thai households and investors play an outsized role in bullion trading, making the country one of the top 10 gold markets in the world. When gold prices rise — as they have this year — traders sell holdings and convert the proceeds into the local currency, which in turn strengthens the baht. In 2024, demand for gold rose 13% in Thailand, the only country to notch four straight years of growth during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to YLG Bullion International, citing World Gold Council data. What’s the problem with a strong baht? Exporters were already feeling the pinch from new US tariffs, and now the strength of the baht — which makes Thai goods more expensive abroad — is putting more pressure on the sector. In August, the country’s exports grew at the slowest pace in almost a year, according to data from the Commerce Ministry. Tourism is also suffering, as Thailand loses its appeal as a value-for-money destination. Between Jan. 1 and Sept. 28, foreign tourist arrivals dropped 7.5% compared with the same period in 2024. Chinese tourists in particular are shunning Thailand in favor of cheaper alternatives such as Vietnam and Malaysia — a trend also driven by safety concerns following a high-profile kidnapping earlier this year. For Thai households, a stronger baht can make imported goods — such as fuel and consumer electronics — cheaper, helping to ease inflation. But for an economy that relies heavily on selling goods abroad and tourism, the downsides outweigh the benefits. Is the Thai government concerned? After meeting with industry leaders in early September, Anutin said his administration would urgently address concerns over the baht’s rise. In late September, Fitch Ratings cut Thailand’s credit outlook to negative, citing mounting fiscal risks from prolonged political uncertainty and weak growth prospects. That followed a similar move from Moody’s, adding to the urgency for Anutin to act on the baht and revive a sluggish economy. What measures are being considered? The government faces a delicate balancing act: preventing the baht’s gains from derailing an already fragile recovery while avoiding actions that could be interpreted as deliberate weakening. For now, officials have limited direct intervention in the currency market to ease what they say is excessive volatility. The Bank of Thailand has signaled that it prefers to let the baht be driven by fundamentals — such as the current account balance, interest-rate differentials and economic growth — while retaining the option to step in if volatility becomes excessive. They haven’t been entirely hands-off. Thailand’s attempts to push back against the baht’s surge have been enough to help push foreign exchange reserves to a record of $272.3 billion as of Sept. 19, equivalent to around half of gross domestic product. But more aggressive intervention would risk drawing the ire of US Treasury officials, who could in turn designate Thailand a currency manipulator — a label that carries the threat of trade sanctions and would deal another blow to the country’s export sector. Thailand’s central bank is also in talks with gold traders to explore ways to curb the metal’s outsized influence on the baht. One option is to promote more gold transactions settled in US dollars through online platforms, which could reduce the direct link between bullion flows and the Thai currency. Another measure under consideration is a tax on physical gold trading. However, officials caution that such a step would take time and require detailed studies and consultations with industry stakeholders. Even just the government’s jawboning, however, appears to be having an impact. After officials announced in mid-September the establishment of a working group to address the strong baht, the currency weakened over the subsequent two weeks by 2% against the dollar to underperform most Asian peers. Meanwhile, the 30-day correlation between gold and the baht slipped to 0.5 in September, its lowest level since July. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-03/thb-usd-how-are-trump-s-tariffs-gold-affecting-the-thai-baht

Here comes da judge, Sean Puffy Combs aka P Diddy gets sentenced today for his conviction on prostitution related charges.

Taylor Swift's new album, Life of a Showgirl. dropped today.

Pattaya, Thailand — In a blow to hip-hop enthusiasts across Asia, organizers of Rolling Loud Thailand announced the abrupt cancellation of their 2025 edition just weeks before the scheduled event, citing “circumstances beyond our control.” The festival, slated for November 14-16 at Legend Siam in Pattaya, had been plagued by an unusual lack of updates, fueling widespread rumors of trouble behind the scenes. Rolling Loud, the world’s largest hip-hop festival series, launched its Thailand chapter in 2023 as a gateway to Southeast Asian audiences. Past editions drew massive crowds with star-studded lineups, including headliners like A$AP Rocky and Cardi B in 2023.

Police in Pattaya have made arrests of two Ugandan women for allegedly operating a sex work business in a hotel, following multiple tourist complaints. The operation, led by Colonel Songwut Chuepholakit, resulted in the arrest of a 31-year-old and a 40-year-old woman, both accused of soliciting services across from Soi 13 in Pattaya. This action was in compliance with the Prostitution Prevention and Suppression Act. The crackdown aligns with the directive from Police Major General Sak Siri Phuak Aum, Chief of the Tourist Police, aimed at curbing crime impacting tourism, particularly foreign offenders. Complaints from international tourists highlighted disruptive behaviour from women soliciting services on Pattaya Beach, which involved aggressive tactics to attract customers. This follows incidents where these women reportedly harassed tourists, demanding purchases and causing disturbances. The arrested women face charges of soliciting for prostitution in a manner described as a public disturbance. Police are enforcing laws against approaches made on streets or in public areas that cause discomfort or shame. The case serves as a reminder of ongoing efforts to maintain tourist safety and address illegal activities affecting the hospitality environment in Pattaya. https://aseannow.com/topic/1373996-pattaya-hotel-raided-ugandan-women-arrested-for-sex-work/
