While their domain may only be Thaichix, they added the word "club" to it in their tour for some reason - so today we're taking a look at Club Thaichix would should be a pretty good indication of the site we'll be looking at. I was pleasantly surprised with the look and feel of the tour, as it was better than I was expecting (for some reason I didn't have high hopes). Once you get through the tour, you'll see that $25 will get you access to the site each month, which is pretty middle of the road.
Once inside, the theme continued, and the site itself had an interesting feel about it. They use a widely-available CMS (Content Management System) to run the site which will be fun to check out. It should at least keep things organized pretty well, and takes a lot of stress off their backend to add news and stuff more easily. Along the left side of the page is the menu that you use to browse the site, which is pretty straightforward.
The photo section is divided up into a few different categories: solo, lesbian, hardcore, groupsex, and vidcaps. They give you stats right off the bat, so I can tell you that the largest section is the solo one with 429 galleries (32,000+ total pics there), while the smallest (besides the vidcaps) is the groupsex section with 26 galleries (2,335+ pics up there).
Browsing through them is pretty easy as well. The made the text portion of the preview very small at times so it's hard to read, but mostly I used the thumbnail pics anyway as my browsing guide. The pictures themselves don't seem to be exclusive as they vary quite a bit, but quality is decent and they are good-sized on average (1024x768 to 1200x800 seems to be the norm). They give a bit of file information (file name, size, dimensions, etc.) but no real info on the galleries themselves (name of model, location, etc.). Also missing are zip files, which I was surprised at since the script seems to run it all.
For watching videos, you might get a bit confused at first. I hit the menu link titled "videos" and noticed they were all basically third-party links to feeds and stuff. Well it turns out there's another menu link called "inhouse videos" that gets you to the good stuff. Browsing through them is another story here, as it's not very simple at all. They don't break things down by scene, so you're left with links to a bunch of small clips that don't do a ton of good really (unless you get lucky to find something you like). The search isn't very helpful either, and there's no real info on the models or scenes here either.
Once you do get to an actual clip you want to see, you'll notice they play in your browser initially in Windows Media Video format. The stats vary quite a bit, but come in around 320x240 to 400x300 and 225kbps to 750kbps or so. There is a small text link to download the videos that you should look for, though you're forced to actually download the whole clip first. They look okay in terms of quality, although that varies scene to scene of course.
Something new is put up daily which is cool, though the format isn't great for viewing the list. They also have a few bonus sections you can browse through (including wallpapers, bios of 20 of the girls, DVD shop, etc.). Overall, there's a decent amount of content up (especially in the photo section), but the site itself just isn't setup for browseability in my opinion. The content isn't exclusive if that matters to you as well. It's not a bad offering, but I think there are some small shortcomings holding it back.
