Lady Boys


For some reason this is the most asked for blog that i've ever written, most of the requests coming from the guys I used to work with.

Thai Ladyboys are famous all over the world, there are several variety shows based in Bangkok and some that tour the world, doing a review show of Broadway Musical songs.

I always get asked the set of questions, below are the answers;

1. They still mostly have their own tackle.
2. Men are the usual customers for the Lady Boy Prostitutes.
3. Hormone tablets and the occasional surgery.
4. Still says they are a man on their ID.
5. Its all done with mirrors.
6. They use the womens toilet.

Thai's refer to the Ladyboy's as Koetoi (Cat Toy), they are an excepted part of everyday life in Bangkok. Most large department Stores will have at least one working on the Perfume and Make up stands. Most Thai drama's will always have a Ladyboy in the plot and alot of the back room staff in TV and Theatre production are Ladyboys.

There is a dark side, we've all heard the Navy tales of a stopover in Bangkok, when one of the guys bought back a she male. I know a couple of guys who this as happened to (you know who you are). One of the guys went berserk and threw her out, the other just thought "Oh well". In all fairness you would have to be really pissed to get mixed up, mostly you have to go to specialised bars to pick up a Lady Boy and there are several obvious things that stand out;

Wider shoulders than hips
Way too much make-up
Deep voice
Over the top clothing
Good knowledge of football.

Also some Keotoi have a bad reputation for stealing and violence to get what they want from some pissed up Farang. I myself had a run with a pair of dudes on the Subway, they were in the process of picking this guys pocket across from me. When I pointed it out they turned on me like a couple of hell cats, following me off the train and giving me a load of grief, one actually pushed me in the back, for some reason when I grabbed them by the throat and gave them my leave me the F*** alone speech they started crying, so I let her go. Then the Sod started on me again.

Below is a place you dont want to visit, so remember to always wear a condom......
