Beauty’s Moral Decay

Finally we see some focused government action in these trying times. Not only the Ministry of Information & Communication Technology is overly active these days to ensure a pure and prosperous society.

We learn that the Ministry of Health “is considering action against alcohol beverage firms that distribute calendars clearly showing their brand names or logos – but with no constructive or educational information of value to society.” Instead they show sexy girls. Wow.

Another Protect-the-Nation’s-Dignity campaign by our puritan leaders. Say thanks to the chosen ones behind the yellow movement who want to ban alcohol altogether. Mens sana in corpore sano. Never mind the endless political bickering and hate. It all comes down to, it seems, loose morals and abounding obscenities in today’s Thai society.

The Bank: Nightclub Unplugged

I was shocked. Utterly shocked. Doesn’t happen often that I’m shocked. But there I was. Speechless. Must have had my mouth open all the time, struggling to keep the head straight. It actually was soon too much for me. Slightly dizzy, without a single drink, and I had to leave. A few minutes later, walking home through Soi Cowboy, the shorter and stouter versions prevailed again. Back to reality.

I’ve seen many things in Thailand and always appreciate the privilege of enjoying the kingdom’s manifold beauties. But – strictly visually speaking – nothing so far compared to the quality of the tall smooth Thai sirens dancing most nonchalantly before my sore eyes that other night. Well, I was told they do that every night somewhere in town. I must live behind moon.

It happened at Bangkok nightclub the The Bank’s first pool party at the Dream hotel. Some photos are uploaded at the Gallery. But careful, they’re not office-friendly. Not my territory really, but well, for the sake of research: Penthouse and Maxim and FHM girls were dancing around the pool losing a shirt or bikini top now and then. But this post isn’t about them. It’s an interview with The Bank’s American owner who shares some surprising insights how the biz works and how good a hefty night out can be for your business.

Miss Hopeful Universe

It’s this time of the year again, on August 23rd, of the Miss Universe contest, this time on the Bahamas. Hopeful Thailand, known around the world for the most pleasant aesthetic singularity of her female offspring, is represented by Chutima Durongdej. Chuti-who? Miss Thai Universe?! Gimme a break!

She’s 23 years old, measures 35-26-35, has black eyes and … Bear with me for wondering what made her look more beautiful than the top of this nation’s outstanding women. Must be her inner beauty and intelligence I guess. But then again – and don’t forget to take the poll below:

We all know how eagerly the official Thailand celebrates global Thai achievements, such as a win in a sport event or a Thai heading an international organization. So why the choice of Kai Mook, pearl, as she is called? We’re lucky to get a wooden spoon.

Bangkok Sirens: Sonia Couling

What’s up everyone! Sorry for the huge delay (busy doing other projects, switching jobs, finding one in the recession, the usual), but I’m back!

Anyway, enough about me, let’s cut to the chase and talk about our featured Thai hottie. As you have read from Yardthip Rajpal last time, I’m into the luk kruengs.

And frankly if you haven’t seen Sonia “Pim” Couling when searching online for Eurasians, then you haven’t been looking hard enough.

Bangkok Sirens: Aff Taksaorn

Born in October 1980, of a physical density of 45 kilograms and longitude of 163 centimeters of concentrated Thai beauty, “Aff” Taksaorn Paksukcharern isn’t your typical Bangkok Siren. You won’t find any shots of a scantily dressed Aff. She’s a star of the lakorn, the overly dramatic Thai television serials, also called soap operas. And therefore a good girl, a serious girl.

That doesn’t mean she can’t be enchanting. A seemingly most traditional Thai girl, Aff mixes Thainess with unique exotic zest. Well, some women just don’t have to show more to impress more – and they still enjoy a dedicated discipleship. Aff is not the kinky, but a tiny, pure Southeast Asian beauty.

She went to Chula’s Faculty of Communication Arts and has a bachelor degree from the U.S. The elder of two sisters insists she has never been and will never be a hi-so girl and is kind of proud to come from a working family with her father being an architect. Acting and drama, she says, just fell into her lap.

We Got A Mister, But No Miss World

Bar any last minute surprise – such as a house dissolution or a re-reformed Newin Chidchob – Thailand can proud herself of having the world’s most beautiful prime minister. For how long, nobody knows, but such crowns are usually not made to last.

After a long series of headlines sporting civil war, straitjacket democracy, fascist PAD thugs and civil war delayed we will finally have something to be proud of again. Maybe there will even be overseas Abhisit We Love You fan clubs.

Most sadly though one of our strongest resources, Thai women, again didn’t live up to their name at this weekend’s Miss World event in Johannesburg. How could they with the kingdom’s representative Ummarapas Jullakasian – yes, I think she got a nose job.
