  1. K-Pop Group Celebrates Wrong Rangers at Texas Show Members of the band STAYC performed in Dallas last week in the jerseys of the Rangers, the Glaswegian soccer club, rather than the Rangers, the World Series-bound Texas baseball team. It’s a longstanding concert tradition: A band comes to town for a show and performs a few songs while wearing the jerseys of a local sports team. The goal is to milk some good will and (cheap? you decide) applause from the fans on hand. Taylor Swift has done it. Garth Brooks has done it. Flo Rida has done it. So members of the Korean girl group STAYC have been donning jerseys for stops on their American tour. What could go wrong? In Dallas last week, something did. Who are STAYC? STAYC is a South Korean pop group that debuted in 2020. Its members are Isa, J., Seeun, Sieun, Sumin and Yoon. STAYC has a classic K-pop girl group sound, with bubbly lyrics, catchy hooks and an occasional rap verse to go with their slick dance moves. The name is an acronym for the English phrase “Star to a Young Culture,” and the group has had top-five hits in South Korea like “Run2U” and “Teddy Bear.” The group is now on a tour of North America as its popularity has grown on the other side of the Pacific; its latest project has landed on Billboard’s world music chart. What happened in Dallas? As the group has traveled around the United States, it has broken out jerseys corresponding to the location of its concerts. Typically, two teams from each region have been represented, with three band members in each. On Oct. 11 in Brooklyn, for example, members wore Yankees and Mets jerseys. In Chicago two days later, they wore Bears and Bulls jerseys. So far, so good. For the Dallas concert, at the Factory in Deep Ellum on Thursday, local teams were chosen again, naturally. But something was wrong. Sure enough, some group members wore Dallas Cowboys jerseys. But others were decked out not in the jerseys of the Texas Rangers baseball team, but the jerseys of the Rangers soccer team. Which is based in Glasgow. The blue jerseys were throwbacks to the 1990s and advertised the team’s sponsor at the time, McEwans Lager, a thirst quencher on both sides of the pond, but more readily associated with the Scottish Highlands than with the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Representatives for STAYC did not respond to a request for comment. What is the difference between the two Rangers? The Texas Rangers were born in 1972, when the Washington Senators moved to town. Despite fielding superstars such as Ivan Rodriguez, Alex Rodriguez and Rafael Palmeiro over the years, the team is one of six in Major League Baseball to never win the World Series. That could change this year; they qualified for a trip to the Series on Monday night. No such drought for the Glasgow Rangers; they have won the top tier of Scottish soccer 55 times and dominate the league alongside their hated rival, Celtic, also based in Glasgow. Another way to tell the difference: Texas Rangers fans include George W. Bush, while Glasgow Rangers fans include Gordon Ramsay and Sean Connery. Other teams worldwide with the name include the New York Rangers of hockey, the English soccer club Queens Park Rangers and the sports teams from Regis University in Denver. None of those teams’ jerseys were spotted at the STAYC concert in Dallas. What was the reaction? Understandably, Glaswegians (at least those who aren’t Celtic fans) seemed chuffed by the unexpected endorsement. “They appear to have won over some punters in Scotland with the Light Blues support jumping on the STAYC bandwagon,” The Daily Record of Glasgow reported. But no international incident seemed to be brewing to threaten the Special Relationship. Texas fans, at least those who sounded off online, reacted more with amusement than scorn. STAYC is heading to the West Coast for more concerts and will finish its American leg in Los Angeles on Sunday. Memo to STAYC: You want silver and black for the Los Angeles Kings of the N.H.L. If the jersey is red, you may be celebrating the Punjab Kings, the Indian cricket team. This innocent mistake has garnered lots of press for these Blackpink wannabees. I reckon imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and STACY starts of many songs with "STAYC Girls, it's going down much like Blackpink starts many live songs with "Blackpink in your area".
  2. In response to incidents involving transgender women causing disturbances to foreign tourists around Pattaya Beach, actions are being undertaken to address the situation. Reports include theft, disputes, and physical harm. Authorities expressed concerns over the negative impact on Pattaya's tourism image and stressed the need for systematic solutions, reported Daily News. On October 24th, officials from the Pattaya Tourist Police collaborated with related agencies to detain 20 transgender individuals suspected of causing disturbances. Additionally, more than 50 individuals considered high-risk were identified, their personal information such as current residence and reasons for staying in Pattaya were recorded. The information collected will be stored in the "Mutchanu TPB" application developed by the investigating team to categorize suspects. This data can be accessed via Line instantaneously if an incident occurs. The tourist police urge anyone witnessing disruptive behavior towards tourists to immediately report through the hotline 1155 or the "Police Tourist i lert u" app. https://aseannow.com/topic/1310222-pattaya-authorities-tackle-nuisance-from-transgender-women/
  3. Does it work on a different browser?
  4. I would suggest clearing your browser cache and see if that works. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest trying a different browser to see if that works.
  5. From your Top 11 list, the only one I've been with is Annie. It was by accident as 20 years ago she was walking by my hotel on Soi 3 on the way to work and we decided to short time. She was a friendly and professional in a very good way. Nancy is jai dee.. She of the thick tool and all the La bamba girls were always very nice to my missus. Lily is another jai dee ladyboy. Besides her beauty she has a very friendly demeanor. Poppy worked at Sensations soon after it opened. I saw Poppy for the first time and thought she was stunning. I asked Scott who she was but he didn't know as she just started the day before. Natalie is from the early days. There were two Natalies who were quite beautiful. This one is more famous. Is she the one on your list Rom? Here's Natalie's Wood

    LK Metro

    I hear that a new ladyboy bar will be opening on Soi LK Metro.
  7. Pla is looking great! Looks like she is ready for action on the pool table!
  8. In this version she's wearing denim bottoms instead of red.

    Time flies. Later this year will be The Exorcist's 50 th anniversary.
  10. Talisha, she of the bulbous cock; a blast from the past! I suspect Talisha was trying to be Theresa just as Wicky's are trying to be Vicky's. So now Mama Talisha. Nice pics and good to know that 2000 baht long times are available in the Big Mango!
  11. Nice one Soju! Here's something a bit different.......sexy singer/dancer Kylie Cantrall who recently turned 18 doing a mashup of Rogers and Hammerstein's My Favorite Things (Sound of Music)with Tchaikovsky's March of the Toy Soldiers (Nutcracker Suite). Clever music and choreography!
  12. Lots of traffic in Jomtien today since it's a 3 day weekend and lots of Bangkok license plates. I'm sure Pattaya also has lots of traffic.
  13. I think this is the location of Cindy's Pattaya. Pic taken today.
  14. Not about the Stones, but I suspect that there is plenty of stealing from absentee owners. I suppose it's more difficult in venues with computerized bins.
  15. Who needs this shit on what's supposed to be a relaxing night out? Don't think I've ever been to Stones and now doubt that I ever will.
  16. Yes, in the location in the map above for about 5 years I reckon before moving to Soi Boomerang off Soi 15. I accidentally popped in on the night Josh took over. A mate and I went to Witherspoons to watch a football game but the game was delayed so I suggested that we go to a small GG gogo that I ad went to a few times. Walked in, and all the girls looked like ladyboys. Went over to Josh and he told me it was the first night. Prior to Baby Boom on that unnamed little soi, Josh operated a gogo near the Tuesday Friday Market called Paradise AGoGO.
  17. That would be either the location of the original Baby Boom or immediately adjacent. Hope the finishing touches include mopping up long encrusted semen!
  18. Agreed. Although it's always possible to have a bad experience or altercation, I think it's less likely to happen with a girl who is working at a bar than a girl working on the street. And if a girl must leave a passport at your hotel desk safer than (a perhaps phoney) Thai ID.
  19. I have a theory, with no evidence to back it up, that Laos and Cambodian ladies/ladyboys/gays working in Thailand are the safest because they don't want any problems with the police or Immigration.
  20. Good question Zeppie! The fees seem high but I am thinking it's a nice backup in case of an emergency. Sometimes fees don't matter. If I understand correctly, cash can be sent from one country and picked up in another country is less than an hour. I just checked their website and I can pick up money in Angeles City about two minutes away from where I usually stay. So if for some reason I have difficulty with my credit cards and run out of a cash I can have a friend from the USA or Thailand send me money. I'm not sure how else you can receive money if you don't have a bank account.
