Shocking! It just goes to show these things can happen to even the most experienced mongers. Hope you're ok Rom!

If you're a guy who has over 1000 notches on his belt then a couple bad apples will sneak in.  I reckon the key is to get out of the situation without anything too bad happening.  Getting the police involved is generally not a good idea.  Often swallowing one's pride and paying to resolve a problem is probably the best course of action.

If it was me, I'd reset.  Head to Manila.

Hope you don't let it ruin the rest of your holiday Rom.

Tiesto is famous....he's a total joke. I think I saw him at a rave like 25 years ago and he was ok but as noted I saw him in Vegas like 7 years ago and it was painful.

Tiesto's latest is a Barbie remix which old farang probably won't like but then they won't like the original either.

Soda !

Soda can usually be found at Pook Bar on Soi Buakhao.  She was one of the "it" girls in the later part of the last decade.

Looks like there will be an indoor and outdoor area. This pic was taken a couple days ago.

JayZ

Probably not a whole lotta love for JayZ on this forum but he probably should be ranked even higher.

Rock and Rap are two most significant musical genres of my lifetime.

Visited Emmy Bar tonight and had a chat with Emmy, Teya, and Pla. The new bar should be an improvement. There will be a proper shorttime room with a shower. There is a mezzanine level. It's unclear if it will be part of the bar.  Perhaps a VIP area much like the original LaBamba. Jomtien The Dog won't be at the new bar as the owner lives next door to the old bar.   The Mapmeister is busy creating a map pinpointing the new location but it's only a minute's walk from the current venue.  Happy times at Jomtien Beach!

“Now and Then,” it was written by John Lennon in 1977 and left on an unreleased demo tape until a production team used AI to isolate Lennon’s voice and let Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr turn it into a fully realized track.

It’s not just another day in the life for Beatles fans, because the iconic group is releasing its final “new” song today. Called “Now and Then,” it was written by John Lennon in 1977 and left on an unreleased demo tape until a production team used AI to isolate Lennon’s voice and let Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr turn it into a fully realized track.

having a bunch of girls at your table that you are buying drinks for 

 

I have a buddy that loves splashing the cash in the top GG gogos.  Since he's financially well off it's no big deal but he wouldn't want to spend what it takes to do this in Vegas.  We all learned as teenagers to get girls drunk!

small scale with a drink for yourself and one girl you buy drinks for.

This is the MO of budget minded expats who want to get to know a girl before barfining her.  For some, it's just one drink before the decision to barfine or not.   But if the bar experience is enjoyable and not simply a means to an end then it could be multiple drinks.  Of course one can just use Thai Friendly or other apps for 1000 baht sex reasoning that the cheapest bars would be about 500 baht for 1 drink for you, 1 drink for the girl, and the barfine so for just an extra 500 baht you get sex and if it's not good so what.  But for some saving money is not important and they don't want to waste time with someone they wish wasn't there once they open the door.

In Pattaya girls are available for guys on just about any budget.   But some guys prefer to pay more to get the experience that suits them.

baked into the business model

There's a 80/20 business axiom that states 80% of profits come from 20% of customers.  I wonder if this is true in the Thai bar business?

Here's the entire album:

Just had a quick listen. Interesting because it's the Stones.  Quality of the songs seems pretty even, nothing bad but at the same time nothing jumps out at me as wow.  If the Stones did not exist and I had a listen not sure how excited I'd be. But hey, they exist and well, it's the Stones.

My intention was to pick out a favorite or two but can't at this time.

Perhaps not their greatest cut , but it is what it is. 80 year olds who put most new acts to shame. Its only rock n roll, and I like it.

Here's the entire album:

As kids the best athletes dominated in all sports.  Perhaps in high school the bruising running back was also a great power forward and home run hitter.  But he might be too short for the NBA and also incapable of hitting the curve ball.  

I enjoy Aussie Rules Football and Rugby.   I get why many non-Yanks find baseball boring.  If you didn't grow up with it then it's boring much like cricket is to me.

Emmy's Full Moon Party tonight should be a good one!  Tonight is a good night to go out as tomorrow (Saturday) many bars close at midnight and also closed all day on Sunday for a Buddha Day.

Do prefer Miss Grande's version

Although Miss Grande's version that I posted is a very sexy video, I prefer this remix.

But 7 Rings is quite different than My Favorite Things. A more direct comparison would be Julie's version vs Kylie Cantrall's. I prefer Kylie's version but really just a matter of personal taste.

Rogers and Hammerstein's My Favorite Things (Sound of Music)

Sexy Ariana Grande's version of My Favorite Things is not quite as wholesome as Julie Andrew's.

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". 

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.

Having said that here are my top all-time 5 in alphabetical order so I don't have to rank them.  The choice is influenced by me having fucked all 5 of them, so perhaps there is some bias to that.  But the choice also takes into account they having an internet presence and having been ackowledged by other BMs here and at PY.

Areeya (Cascade/Obsession)

Annie (Obsession)

Jenny (High-Boss,  Stringfellows, Guess Bar)

Lily (TJ's)

Mint   LongMint  (Tequila bar Patong)

 

 

If I am allowed to go TOP 10, I would add:

 

Nancy (soi 16 and La Bamba)

Natacha (or Natalie?)  (late 1990s KCIII, BEAUTIFUL!)

Noon   (Cascade;  I don't put her in the TOP 5 bc it seems not so many punters knew her; she was picky)

Patricia  (C&D)

Poppy (Sensations)

Talisha (Casanova)

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
