Shemales in Pattaya

Speaking about Pattaya, it is worth touching on the topic of transsexuals, otherwise the picture will not be complete. This city is considered the most depraved in Thailand. The number of trannies, or ladyboys as they are also called, is amazing. Some of them go to work as massage therapists and waiters, others, in the desire to feel like a woman, go to Go-Go bars.

Where can I pick up a tranny?

After dark, Pattaya's Walking Street comes alive. It is here that cabaret shows are concentrated, the regulars of which are trannies. The leading position in the list is occupied by Lita Bar. The ladyboys who work here are Amazonian physiques, minimal clothing and a “hands-on” approach to business. Water shows and candle shows are held regularly.

Another small and cozy bar where trannies dance on stage is Sensations Bar. It has a pleasant design style, the hall is decorated with chrome pillars along the entire perimeter. The Pook Swan House cabaret show features a guest house where you can take your ladyboy for the night.

Less visited bars include Stringfellows A Go-Go, My Way Beer Bar, Baby Boom A Go-Go and Pattaya Obsessions. Soi Buakhao is famous for Pook's Swan and Blue Room Bar. A budget option for hiring prostitutes can be found in the bars Stingfellows and La Bamba Bar, which are located on Soi 13/1.

How much does a tranny cost in Pattaya?

The cost of sex services in Pattaya depends on the figure and appearance of the shemale you like. VIP-class establishments employ elite lady-boys who have no prejudices regarding sex. The price of pleasure for one hour varies from 1000 to 5000 baht. You will be charged 2000-10000 baht per night.

You can rent a Thai shemale cheaper in Walking Street establishments. If you like one of the dancers, you need to approach the manager (mama-san). Compensation for the fact that a ladyboy leaves her workplace for the whole night will cost 500-1500 baht.

On Pattaya Beach street there are usually individual prostitutes. They don’t have Mama-san, so you can safely bargain. For short time they charge about 800-900 baht, for the whole night - 2000 baht. In the off-season, when there is very little work, ladyboys can reduce the price to 500 baht. Shemales in Pattaya also work in massage parlors. To relieve tension after an erotic massage, you will have to pay about 1,000 baht.

Why are there many transvestites or Phet Thi Sam in Thailand?
Even those who know only a little about Thailand associate this country with a large number of transvestites. Is there really more of them in Thailand than in any other state, and if this is the impression, then why?

Let's be clear: a transvestite, according to scientific definition, is a man who, while feeling like a woman, still does not go to extreme measures. Doesn't go under the surgeon's knife to change gender. He only dresses in women's clothes, wears a wig, and uses makeup. Another thing is a transsexual. This is a person who has radically changed their sex and takes hormones. But it so happens that in Thailand they call both transvestites (abbreviated colloquial “trans” or also “transformers”). However, they also have their own names: “katoy” or “ladyboy” - for men who have become women or want to be like them. “Tom” and “tom boy” are for women who have changed gender.

There are no more transvestites in this southeastern country than in other countries of the world. The percentage of people who do not experience attraction to the opposite sex is approximately the same everywhere. Features of Thailand are the relative cheapness and availability of plastic surgery, as well as hormone therapy. Therefore, here you can see not only local katoeys, but also transsexuals from other countries who have taken advantage of such a service as medical tourism.

Most Kathoys live in large cities. Some are attracted by the fact that medical centers are concentrated here. For others, it’s the opportunity to make money with the help of tourists. Moreover, this is not always sexual services. Many transvestites work in the service sector or participate in colorful shows.

Society's attitude towards transvestites in Thailand.

The attitude towards such people in Thailand is special. In Asian culture there is a concept of the “third gender” - in ancient epics such people served as a bridge connecting the world of people and spirits. In Thailand they are called “phet thi sam.” It is believed that already in childhood such a child realizes that he has little in common with children of the same sex. A boy feels like a girl and vice versa. The decision to finally change gender comes in adolescence. And a huge amount of work begins, with the lion’s burden falling on the shoulders of doctors. Demand creates supply, and plastic surgery in Thailand has made huge strides in recent decades. Tourists note that local women may not be particularly beautiful, but the Katoi are very attractive.

Life of transvestites in Thailand?

But what is the price of this beauty? First of all, these are numerous operations under general anesthesia. Surgeons are offering men more and more new ways to turn into beautiful women: removing the lower ribs to make the waist thinner, operating on the Adam’s apple so that the neck resembles a woman’s... Of course, some things cannot be corrected. For example, the shoe size of the Katoys remains large, and the hands are also too large for a woman. But when it comes to the face, the possibilities of plastic surgery are almost limitless. This course of operations costs about 10 thousand dollars.

That's not all. About $1,000 a year will be required to pay for the hormones that Katoy must take regularly. Thanks to hormone therapy, a mustache and beard will not grow on his face, and his breasts will increase in size.
Violence against the body does not go unpunished. Few katoi and tom boi will live to be 40-50 years old.

Having transformed herself with the help of doctors, the transvestite devotes a lot of time to caring for herself. Cosmetic procedures, makeup, expensive clothes - all this requires a lot of money. Therefore, having a rich friend or a well-paid job is a must.

The attitude of the Thai religion towards transvestites.

Let's take a historical excursion. More than 90 percent of the population in Thailand professes Buddhism, which is tolerant compared to other religions. Our existence, according to Buddhism, is a series of endless lives. One ended and another began, which you live in a different guise. Perhaps being a transvestite is a person's karma in this life, so why blame him?

According to one version, transvestites in a past life were some kind of playboys (womanizers) and “broke” quite a few hearts. For this they pay in this life with the uncertainty of their gender.

Laws and society of Thailand and transvestites.

The law still limits the rights of transvestites in Thailand. Even if a person has changed gender, he will still have the same documents confirming that he is a man. Marriages entered into by transvestites are not recognized. Thus, if a transvestite dies, the inheritance goes to his blood family. Kathoys do not hold government positions. And in the outback, in the villages, although such people are not stoned, they still do not feel much love for them.

In cities it's a different matter. In Thailand, women and the maternal principle are highly revered. But times have changed, and representatives of the fairer sex can no longer deal only with housekeeping. More and more often, women go to work to earn money and help their husbands feed their family.

Transvestites are in an advantageous position compared to women: they are childless, and nothing distracts them from work. Therefore, there are a lot of them working in the service sector. Transvestites can be found in hairdressing salons, bars and restaurants, massage parlors, sewing studios, and numerous shops.

Drag queen show?

Transvestite shows, which can be seen in large cities, are especially popular. The most famous of them are “Tiffany Show”, “Alcazar Show”, “Colosseum Show”. Bright and colorful musical programs, richly decorated costumes - all this makes such spectacles very attractive. Even families with children attend the show, as nothing too explicit is shown here.

Most places in the world I've visited I wouldn't mind returning to. Pattaya is perhaps an exception - I am no longer drawn there. The sex industry there is too noisy, too dirty and, most importantly, too intrusive and low-grade.
But it’s worth visiting there once - at least to understand how much the atmosphere of this place suits you. Today we will look at the landscapes of this town, walk through the center of vice - Walkin Street and visit a transvestite show.

Pattaya - a small town in Chonburi province southeast of Bangkok - is one of the most popular resorts in Thailand, especially among tourists from Russia. The transformation of the small fishing community into a tourist mecca began in 1959, when the town became a resting place for American soldiers stationed at a base nearby during the Vietnam War. Crowds of warriors looking for booze, entertainment and women set the tone for Pattaya's tourist specialization. While there are now some quiet family beach spots, the city center is dominated by adult entertainment.

Pattaya lies on the shores of Bangkok Bay, which, in turn, is part of the Gulf of Thailand (1)

View of Pattaya from Cliff Hill in the southern part of the city. Behind the houses in the foreground is the famous Walkin Street - the center of the local sex industry (2)

Pattaya City Beach - a long strip of sand along the embankment - looks attractive from afar. In fact, the beach is quite dirty, although those who want to swim and sunbathe can be found here (3)

But for beach purposes, it is better to go from the southern pier by boat to the island of Koh Larn, a few kilometers from the city (4-5)

On the south side of Cliff Hill is the Jomtien area. The beaches here are much cleaner and the atmosphere is calmer than in Pattaya itself. View of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort (6)

There is a long staircase leading to the top of Cliff Hill (7)

The way up is guarded by a seven-headed dragon (8)

At the foot of the stairs you are offered to buy a cage with a couple of birds, which you need to release at the top “for good luck”. The birds, naturally, immediately return to their owner with a feeder to make the next gullible tourists happy (9)

At the top are Buddha statues... (10-11)

Buddhist bells (12)

You need to hit this monk’s navel with a coin - also “for luck” (13)

Another typical attraction for tourists is snake tamers (14)

However, most people come to Pattaya not for views of dubious beauty or for family attractions with snakes.

In the evening, the city is filled with crowds of people hungry for something hot and simply loitering onlookers who have left their wives and children somewhere in Russia, or, at worst, somewhere in a hotel. The main place for nightlife is the pedestrian Walkin Street (15-17)

There are clubs, bars, sex salons, sex shows and go-go bars. Every few meters, if you are a man, a barker will definitely approach you with a catalog and price tag of sex services. If you are a woman, this will also work, but with a little less frequency.

This go-go bar has a couple of its first customers (18)

And these priestesses of love are still bored (19)

Most prostitutes are unsightly and scary Thai women, sometimes of a rather indeterminate age. As exotics, there are European women (mainly from Eastern Europe) and black women (from Nigeria).

A significant portion of those who at first glance appear to be women are transvestites. They say that any Thai woman taller than 160 cm is almost guaranteed to be a former man. This street transvestite is a rather low-quality example of the work of plastic surgeons. However, those where the man is visible at first sight are the majority among transvestites. Good work costs a lot of money. Behind the back of the ex-man - barkers of sex bars (20)

The highest quality examples of Thais who have changed their gender are collected in two of the best Pattaya transvestite shows - Tiffany and Alcazar. These are costume musical-like performances with music and elements of questionable choreography. The costumes, however, are quite colorful and the show itself, lasting about an hour, is not at all boring. The main entertainment is trying to overcome cognitive dissonance and identify specimens that most closely resemble women.

I made the choice between Tiffany and Alcazar in favor of the latter due to the fact that in Alcazar, unlike Tiffany, photography is allowed.

Alcazar Hall. The show attracts quite a lot of spectators - the hall for several hundred people was completely filled. (21)

The sculptural composition in front of the entrance probably symbolizes the initial and final versions (22)

The show itself is a series of numbers consisting of another group of transvestites in colorful costumes appearing on stage and parading around the stage to music, sometimes accompanied by singing to a soundtrack.

In these specimens, male features are easily discernible (23-25)

These look a little more like a woman (26-27)

And this cute face can easily be mistaken for a real woman (28)

Numbers in costumes of different nations and times replace each other. Chinese motifs (29-31)

Stylization as a pop trio in disco style (32)

Arabic stories (33-34)

Viagra group in Thai (35-36)

Korean sketches (37-39)

Techno boom dance (40)

An animated sculpture (41-43)

Burlesque show (44)

And finally, Parade Alley (45-46)

I don’t know about you, but this spectacle amused me. From an aesthetic point of view, these cute creatures clearly outperform the street priestesses of love of the original sex.

American soldiers during the Vietnam War were deeply mistaken. I will not try to go into the philosophy of the issue again, but will touch on practice. Because not fucking a man in Pattaya is considered a great success among those who go to Thailand for sex.


A very bold generalization regarding women’s indifference to a man’s wallet. Apparently, either I don’t notice them at all, or there aren’t as many of them as you think.
Besides, what does it mean “he will have a beloved and loving one at home”? The words seem to be spoken about a dog. Besides, it all depends on the ability to win people over and something tells me, judging by the numerous grammatical errors, that you are clearly part of the working class. What can I say then?

So, is that your name or are you just encrypted..?), it’s just not clear who the comment is from a girl or a guy...?), I suspect that you are girls. Regarding “he will have a beloved and loving one in his house” then- there are all women who love their men “dogs”...?) What do you think if one loves the other, not for money, not for some material values..., but for what kind of person he is! - this is not normal in my opinion.. .and by the way, it is impossible to love for money, just as it is impossible to buy love - for this reason, love is without a price and not a single rich person can buy love...! and those who are with the rich only for money are prostitutes and it doesn’t matter with whom, with the president or a mediocre businessman...!, everything that is bought is a thing and all things have an owner..! regarding illiteracy, I don’t deny it is written with grammatical errors, but I’m not writing a report, but from the working class, 85% of the so-called “elite” are illiterate, ask Aligarh, businessman, deputy - if you write at least 10 lines yourself there will be more mistakes...!)
17.01.15 Andrey


this point about the working class in our country, everyone works and everyone is from the working class - except for those units that sell the people's oil and gas..! that is, if you are a young, beautiful woman, you lie down under the old man who is decrepit and rightful to you, you are also the working class, you are from the sphere of prostitution of those who sell their body and the price for you is high - from a year to three..! and after a couple of years you are thrown away like a used condom..! since no one will pay for a dilapidated product at a time when there is a lot of fresh goods..! perhaps they console themselves with the fact that at least for some period of their lives they will live like princesses, but this is a delusion..! Princesses are now the daughters of Alegarchs because only they are free and in order to live beautifully they do not need to please anyone...! good luck to you in your made-up world...!)

It is precisely because of such “smart” women that the population of Russia is dying out.
Andrey wrote everything correctly. And “smart” women should know their place and not argue with their stupid writings.

What's the point of making a vagina from the scrotum (with subsequent problems with hair THERE), when you can make it from part of the intestine, as they wrote here, or from a penis? As far as I've heard, feminization surgery is mostly done using the male dignity, at least in Russia...

It’s funny, I even laughed! Our poor men, their women are not enough for them, they have to look for adventures at their own........at their own peril and risk...Very interesting article and, most importantly, vital
