Compared to the rest of the world, female celebrities in Thailand don't seem as prone to scandals involving skin. And when the occasional illicit photo or video does drop, it's only moderately titillating by today's highly competitive global standards. The best Thailand's been able to muster in 2008 is a hidden camera shower scene involving bubblegum pop duo Four Mod. A link would be unlawful, but here's what they look like dry.

Look Panward, Angel
The only significant thing about the Hollywood bomb Bangkok Dangerous is that it tried to introduce the world to Thai coyote clubs. The Caribbean club, which makes an appearance in the movie, is actually one of the better known coyote joints in town. Not sure if they filmed there, but it looks like they might have.
The allure of coyote clubs comes from men's suppressed desire to view women from boot level. Or something like that. Though the club's name, layout, and attractiveness of the girls (one of whom is played by local celeb and ptosis sufferer Panward Hemmanee, pictured top right) are faithfully rendered, the movie is wrong in its implication that the girls are sex slaves or victims of human trafficking. At any rate, it seems no one bothered to see the movie, so hopefully the Caribbean won't receive an influx of new visitors, be they human rights inspectors or average gawkers.

800 Hong Kong dollars
Life hasn't been so lovely to this Chinese gal, whose 15 minutes of fame take the form of a page (with photos, vital stats, price, performance review, professional name, and the phone number of her pimp) on Hong Kong's leading online catalog of vice. China can be a cruel place for the poor and pretty.

To each her own
Express yourself
Sometimes it seems like every Thai girl wants to be a model, even if it just means posting her pictures on a popular web site like, for example, mthai.com. The offerings range from girls-gone-cute to girls-gone-feral, though not quite wild. The pic above is the only one of that girl, and marks the outer limit of wildness, on that web site at least.
A few more of this girl are here. And one more for the road:
Compared to what their cohorts in other countries are up to, the Thai picture-posting scene is pretty innocuous. Though word has it (well, the TV news has it) things are getting a bit heavy in the Thai chatrooms of camfrog.com. Not really my specialty, though if anyone wants to peruse, please do report back with your findings.

Girl next door dot com
From Thai teenybopper web site Sanook.com's post-it-yourself section. This girl's message to the world is "sA-wAd-dEE-mA-fReNz-@-sAnOoK- cLuB-kA ^^". And the world's reply is "น่ารักมากเลยค่ะ สวยไสถูกจัยสุดๆ". Meaning, you're so cute and pretty. I have nothing to add.

New School
This gallery, which I found on a Thai web site and is credited only to a "magazine in Japan", caught my eye because of the school uniform theme. The styling on this shoot is uninspired -- mainland Chinese-looking, actually -- except for the most important thing, which is quite nice: the uniform. As far as I know there are no school uniforms in Japan (or China) that look remotely like this, but it happens to evoke the Thai college uniform a bit, which might be why the photos ended up where I found them. I wonder if any of the schools here could be convinced to adopt this look -- of course, replacing the girl's boring shirt with something thinner and silver-buttoned.
