Ladyboys, Tomboys, Rentboys: Male and Female Homosexuality in Thailand (book)
I was looking at Google Books recently and this popped out. If you haven’t tried Google books - you should. It offers large previews of some great books before you purchase them. Some old books which the rights have expired to - are available for FREE in their entirety.
This link will take you to the ladyboy book listed in the Title of this article at Google Books where you can preview the book before you buy it…
Ladyboys, Tomboys, Rentboys: Male and Female Homosexualities in Contemporary Thailand >
I don’t make any commission off this - just as a service to help you find Thailand ladyboy resources since good resources are difficult to find. Quality writing about ladyboys seems almost nonexistent.

If you didn’t see the hot lips on the right column yet and you missed the page I just created at the top of the blog for it… You can’t miss the hot ladyboy lips here (Areeya’s lips)…
We’re giving away a 100 page plus Thai Ladyboy Guide that is free and filled with great information about Thailand’s ladyboys. No, it’s not perfect, but maybe next edition we’ll shoot for perfect. It’s pretty damn good though!

2 Ladyboy Books filled with Good Info
This book is called, “Quest for Katoeys” and was written by someone named “Lung David”. Is that a strange name, or what? Katoeys is a synonym for “ladyboys” which is a synonym for “shemales” which is a synonym for transvestites, transsexuals, cross dressers, whatever.
A ladyboy is male originally. The ladyboy could have an operation to remove the male anatomy and form a female anatomy at a cost on average of 100,000 Thai baht. That is about $3000 US dollars in today’s economy. That is not an expensive operation and probably won’t be done all that well. GOOD operations cost in excess of 150,000 Thai baht from what I hear.
The book gives MANY great interviews that let you peek inside the world of Thai ladyboys and their curious lives. The book is well written and fairly expensive at over 400 baht in the bookstore I was in. I’ll try to find it on Amazon and give you a link here… Not sure it’s available anywhere except Thailand though.
Nope - not at Amazon. Here it is at a huge Thai bookstore:
Quest for Katoeys
Here’s another book that I’ve read about as having good information and heard from one friend that has a very strong interest in the subject… The Third Sex. Kathoey: Thailand’s Ladyboys .
If you are in the bookstore it is a small book and is located in the section where the books are about farangs spending time in Thai jails, the bargirl books and the rest of it. There was only this one ladyboy book and makes me think that there must be a market for more out there if you think you’re qualified to write a book about them. I know someone that can supply you with many ladyboys photos in case you need it. Let me know!

The book by Richard totham is a lot better as he tried to look at the scientific side of the katoey phenomenon. I stayed some time at the house of a quite famous ladyboy and has good statements. After reading this book you may know a lot more about what it is like being a ladyboy. But you will never understand 100 percent as long as you aren’t katoey yourself.
