Anyone who has ever visited, is Thailand know the beauty of Thai women. In their twenties, they are striking. In his thirties, they look more mature, but still most are very attractive.
The women work in the ubiquitous bars and massage parlors of Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and are mostly former housewives, believe it or not, married but separated, with two children she left behind in their village with their mothers. Most are from Isaan, the northeast cornerThailand, which has a large amount of poverty. Some are from other parts of the country, especially in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, and a few are from Bangkok and central Thailand.
But in about 1100 is not a female at all, but a "ladyboy" or katoey in Thai. They often appear more female genuine as the women. I have seen many farang ogle and lust after a very sexy woman, not knowing that "she" is a "he."
Like women, most ladyboys from Isaan. I have a sayingfew on 1-1 basis, and she asked when she first knew she wanted to be a woman. All said they knew early on about 5 or 6 years old. They said they wanted the female way, not like rough sports, were partial to art and music.
Katoeys are an accepted part of Thai culture, as are a third sex in Thailand. Several movie stars and TV announcers. One is a national kick-boxing champion. You will find ladyboys everywhere, working as waiters, shop assistants,Hairdressers, couriers, etc.
In North America and Europe, a sex-change (also as a gender reassignment) operation as a great thing to be, many months of psychological counseling required before surgery to ensure that the person is required to change that.
In Thailand, a sex change operations are common. There are several clinics and hospitals that have performed and the costs are a fraction of what would be the Western levy, usually $ 5000-7000 U.S.. Yetfor a poor person from Isaan is $ 5,000 a huge amount of money.
There are three main areas in Bangkok where ladyboys are present in large numbers Nana Entertainment Plaza (on Sukhumvit Soi 4), Patpong Road (off Silom) and Soi Cowboy (near the intersection of Sukhumvit Road and Asoke Road, which both BTS Skytrain and MRT Subway stations).
For Nana, the majority of the Lady Boys "pre-op", ie they still have a penis. In Patpong and Soi Cowboy, most are "post-op", which meansthey have the operation, which was to create a vagina. The project involves cutting out a section of the intestine, which will be the vagina. The penis is cut open and the intestinal tube, typically some of the scrotum will be used to increase the length of the new vagina. The tip of the penis becomes the new clitoris, and is generally more sensitive after the procedure is completed and everything is healed. The Lady Boys I spoke said they could still have an orgasm, but not. Ejaculate
Scar tissue is visible when the reserves post-op Ladyboy his public hair, but if it is shaved off, it is difficult to tell an artificial vagina from reality.
However, this is usually not the end of the story in sex reassignment. The male body is usually larger than the female, also in Thailand, where many people seem to 80% of the size of Western man. The Ladyboy is take hormones for a few years before to help the operation, these hormoneshim to grow breasts and reduce his facial and body hair growth. Thai men are generally not much body hair, compared to Western men, but they have some, hormones or other treatments are necessary to reduce or eliminate. However, hormones have a side effect of reducing the ability to ejaculate.
Men typically have a protruding Adam's apple, leaving a further operation: it can be shaved by a surgeon for reduction or elimination of lead. And many have electrolysis to remove bodyHair, especially in the armpits.
When visiting Nana Entertainment Plaza after 7pm (which is when it opened), you will find some hairdressing establishments on the decks that are running around three sides of the building. Those at the front of the bar girls; those on the back to be fair lady boys. You can see some of the Ladyboys clean and prepare their make-up.
Some of the bars are exclusively ladyboys. When you enter such a bar, you'll find that most ladyboysare more than passable and some are strikingly beautiful. I do not think I ever seen an ugly ladyboy.
As far as relationships go, ladyboys are just like Thai women. You want a long-term relationship, and they will try everything, the relationship works. Many speak a little English, but you really need to get a product like Speak Easy Thai some basic Thai vocabulary. If you can communicate better, you have a much better chance of a lasting relationship.
Part of theBangkok's night life, which should be missed by any visitors, Ladyboy Cabaret Shows professionally done, with spectacular productions (many feathers and glitter, good music, comedy and some also). You can find them at the Calypso Cabaret (Asia Hotel, Ratchathewi to see Skytrain Station), Golden Dome Cabaret (15 minute walk from the subway station Sutthisan) and Mambo Cabaret in the former Washington Theater between Sukhumvit Soi 22 and 24
