New Thai Ladyboy Poll on Right Column >

If a Thai ladyboy was TOO aggressive - would you punch her to get her away from you, knowing that her friends are close by?

This poll was prompted by a recent altercation I had while jogging in a deserted park with a gay guy that wanted money for drugs I guess. He harassed the holy piss out of me and got a wack to the kidneys with a heavy stick I carried - I thought, for the dogs. He wasn’t a ladyboy. Story to follow here shortly - as soon as I pull out his license plate info an other stuff that might be illegal to post here in Thailand.

A guy is getting sued by a real estate agent in Thailand for blogging about how bad he sucked. Is that nuts?

Well - I’m going to blog about how bad this guy WANTED to suck me for some cash for Yaba (crystal meth) I’m guessing… he was a complete fark-head and I’d have gave him one to the base of the skull if I could have got away with it.

No lie.

Story coming…

Pattaya Ladyboy Gang Beats Up GRANDMA!

This story from the UK. Not sure why I didn’t see anything here in Thailand about it. Nobody got the story for some reason, but then it does say the family paid for news announcements to be shown. Hmm.

A gang of ladyboys busted into a salesman’s home in Pattaya, beat up and bound the grandmother and stole a lot of things from the family: Rings, cash, and mobile phone.

Full story below:

British grandmother beaten and robbed by gang of Thai ‘ladyboy’ transvestites

A grandmother told today how she was bound, beaten and robbed by a gang of “ladyboys” while on holiday in Thailand.

Brenda Davies, 64, was visiting her son at the beach resort of Pattaya when she was tied up, gagged and mugged in front of her daughter-in-law’s two young children.

She said two of the gang were known locally as ladyboys - transsexuals working as dancers and prostitutes in the area.

The robbers burst into the home of her son Russell, 40, and his wife Imelda, and bound Mrs Davies’s face, wrists and ankles with parcel tape.

The attackers made off with nine rings - including her late husband’s wedding ring - her cash and mobile phone.

Mrs Davies, from Horfield, Bristol, said: “I couldn’t see or breathe when they wrapped the parcel tape around my head.

“They tied me up and threw me on the ground and chucked a mattress on top of me. They then hit me about the head while they took my jewelery.

“I’m still shaken up and frightened of anyone walking behind me.

“I’m lucky to be alive and am only here today because I managed to bite hole in the parcel tape over my mouth so I could breath.”

Her son works as a salesman in the country, but she said she would never go back.

Pattaya police have yet to make any arrests in connection with the incident, despite the family paying for a television appeal to catch the criminals.

Outrageous! Will Thai ladyboys stop at nothing to have their yaba (crystal meth) drug money?

Will the Thai police continue to remain virtually ineffective at curtailing this kind of thing before it happens?

Will Thai ladyboys beat up toddlers next?

Will farangs continue to invite their families to visit Pattaya, the “black hole of Thailand” instead of go to respectable places… like… uhm, Ubon Ratchathani?

All these questions and more in posts to follow…. because unfortunately I have no answers. Why in the hell someone would invite their family to Pattaya - I can’t comprehend.

Good Girls Gone BAD! Can Thailand Support ANOTHER Ladyboy Band?

It has come to my attention that Venus Flytrap is not the only Thai ladyboy band in the country. There is another band, Good Girls Gone Bad that have made an appearance on the scene. They’ve made a video and they’re trying to become large. Well, they are a bit large, but I mean - attracting fans to their music. They are from a university named Srinakharinwirot. The names of the ladyboys in the band are: M, Paulita and Uudy. The name of their single is “Emotion”.

Dancing Thai Ladyboy clip 4

This is part 4 in the series of a Dancing Thai Ladyboy.

For the next 2 days I’ll release one dancing Thai ladyboy video each day of a ladyboy (katoey) dancing at a sports day celebration in Thailand. There is no nudity, no vulgarity, just good wholesome fun that was deemed appropriate for a private Thailand Christian school…

You can’t see the ladyboy’s face or her friends, but you can see the way they’re dancing…

Every year schools in Thailand, both secondary and primary schools hold these insane celebrations that consist not mostly of sports activities, but mostly of cheering and dancing and shows that are put on by students. The shows are sometimes a bit too sexy for the student body, in my personal opinion. But, Thailand is a different country than America, and thank God or whatever it was for that…

Nun UdomSak, A Thai Ladyboy’s Abbreviated Biography and Photos

I just found an awesome page about a Thai ladyboy named Nun. She tells the different plastic surgeries she had done, how her family treated her… and the job possibilities that exist in Thailand for ladyboys. Even ladyboys with degrees have a hard time getting in the tourist realm because Thailand government doesn’t want them interacting with tourists much - and reflecting ‘negatively’ on Thailand’s people!

This girl is super cute and it’s a great short story to read - you’ll enjoy it! At least go see the photos!

Thai Ladyboys Sorority at a Chiang Mai University

This Thailand ladyboy sorority article was originally published in the Bangkok Post in January, 1999. Full credit goes to them!

This is an article about ladyboys in at Chiang Mai University in the far north west of Thailand. Apparently they formed a Sorority group. The article talks about how the other university students and teachers felt about the group and also about the issue for Thailand as a whole. Thailand is more accepting of ladyboys than America for instance, that much is true. BUT, there still exists some discrimination and prejudice at most levels of Thai society. There is jealousy among the women sometimes because the ladyboys TRY hard to look better than the women - and a lot of times they succeed.

Thai men date ladyboys also - and though it isn’t mentioned much in Thailand, the Thai men are dating ladyboys even more so than the visitors. There are 12 million visitors to Thailand yearly,and mostly during just 7 months of the high season each year. There are 65 million Thai people that are here 12 months a year, every year. There is a large percentage of Thai men that are gay, and they see ladyboys as a type of male - and so many have no problem engaging them in sexual liasons. Many PREFER ladyboys over men… Interesting story, read on if you’re interested…

Roses of the North: The Katoey of Chiang Mai University

By Andrew Matzner

Suwanna, an English teacher at Chiang Mai University (CMU), remembers being puzzled. “The name on the roster said ‘Somsak’, so I looked for a boy. Instead, a beautiful girl raised her hand - it was quite a shock!”

“Actually, I don’t mind when katoey come to class dressed as women. It’s when female students dress too casually and don’t wear their uniforms to school that I’m really bothered.”

Compared with most other Thai schools, Chiang Mai University provides a tolerant atmosphere for transgendered gay men, called katoey in Thai. “Here at CMU katoey can do what they want,” declares Gan, who is contemplating sex-change surgery. “There is the freedom to do different activities, and the freedom to study what we want. People don’t bother us.”

Although on campus most katoey wear the men’s school uniform (black pants and white shirt for most faculties), many cultivate an androgynous appearance by keeping their hair long and using makeup. A smaller number, blessed with tolerant teachers such as Suwanna, can be seen in the women’s uniform of black skirt and white blouse.

In this relaxed environment, a unique group has emerged among CMU’s clubs and organizations. Rosepaper, formed over twenty years ago, is a “sorority” run by and for katoey.

With more than one hundred members, Rosepaper is one of the largest clubs at CMU. It offers katoey both support as well as a chance for social networking. “It’s important for katoey to get together in a group”, says Gan, “because we can understand each other’s feelings and problems. It’s also good that we can get to know each other and do activities with one another.”

Rosepaper is especially valuable for first year members because it provides an introduction to new friends who can give assistance and advice. Freshman students often find that starting university means entering into an exciting period of their lives. Separated from their families, and lacking parental supervision - as well as disapproval - katoey soon discover it is easier to be themselves in their new surroundings. Suwanna feels that katoey are more likely to be accepted by student peers than their own family. “At home katoey probably don’t look or act even one percent the way they do on campus. They probably have two complete sets of clothing and behavior.”

Chris, a member of Rosepaper, agrees that parents often pressure a transgendered child to change its behavior. “They are upset because their son isn’t a real man.” On the other hand, “Rosepaper provides a good environment. Since we are surrounded by friends, it is easy for us to feel confident enough to express ourselves.”

Rosepaper is locally famous for its cabaret-style shows. Performances are a traditional part of many important CMU events, such as the annual Freshie Festival and Open Dormitory celebrations. Members are also frequently asked to perform at student as well as faculty parties. Hotels in Chiang Mai and other northern cities have played host to Rosepaper in the past as well.

Many students enjoy watching Rosepaper perform, and the group’s presence at an affair is a big draw. Min, a third year humanities major, has seen many Rosepaper performances. She echoes the feelings of their fans. “When the members put on a show, it’s like a real cabaret. Some of them seem even more beautiful than real women.” Nah, a freshman, is also impressed. “The katoey in Rosepaper are very talented, and their shows are what make school parties a lot of fun.”

According to Ann, a senior, it is hard not to be dazzled by the performers’ sexy outfits. “Sometimes I get jealous because they look so good. And even male students who say that they don’t like katoey love to watch Rosepaper perform.” Suwanna is enthusiastic as well. “The students in Rosepaper work very hard and practice a lot to have their shows come out perfect. They are really amazing.”

Traditionally, members of Rosepaper have practiced their performance routines on the balconies of one of the school dormitories. Because of the large number of katoey who choose to live in this particular dorm, it has gained the reputation of having been “taken over” by katoey.

However, times have changed, and due to stricter university regulations, outsiders now have a more difficult time entering dormitories. This means that members of Rosepaper who do not live in this dormitory can not practice together with those who do.

But the shows do go on, and practices continue, although not as as often before. Chris laughs, “Actually, the people who watch the dorms are usually women, and they like Rosepaper. Since they know that we want to work on our show, sometimes they let us into the dorm without stopping us. Then they’ll come up and watch us practice.”

Other important activities for Rosepaper take place during “rap nong”, the initiation period for first year students. Each of the different school faculties at CMU has their own method for hazing freshmen, ranging from mild (Humanities) to severe (Agriculture and Engineering). Depending on a student’s faculty, rap nong can last from several weeks to the whole freshman year.

Besides faculty rap nong, there are additional initiation activities for entering students from particular provinces, such as Lamphun and Lampang. For those katoey who have to participate in faculty, province and Rosepaper initiations, finding time to study can be a challenge.

Most of Rosepaper’s rap nong events take place during the first semester. Unlike the hazing done in the faculties, in which entire freshman classes participate in rap nong activities together, first year katoey are usually initiated one by one, not as a group. For example, a group of senior katoey will meet with a new member and give him information about Rosepaper. “We’ll get together with a first year student and chat, let him know what kinds of things Rosepaper does. We also see if he has any questions or needs help with anything,” says Chris.

But occasionally the purpose of rap nong is not to counsel, but to intimidate. A favorite method is called “weening”, and involves a group of around twenty to thirty senior katoey. This large, boisterous crowd makes its way to the dormitory room of one of the new initiates. Upon opening up his door, the unsuspecting student suddenly finds his small room swamped by katoey demanding allegiance to Rosepaper.

Sometimes this display takes place in a more public space. Lek, a fine arts student, was eating in the cafeteria one day when she saw a pack of katoey march in and surround a junior who had been eating by himself. “They were shouting and making such a scene. After they left, the junior just sat there crying - I felt so sorry for him!”

Aum explains, “We want our junior members to know who their seniors are. Freshies learn during rap nong that their seniors have more authority than them, and that they have to respect us.” Chris adds, “But at the end of rap nong we have a party so the new members can understand that now they are part of our group.

This year many of Chiang Mai University’s rap nong activities were canceled by administration officials because of negative publicity about hazing which appeared in the press. The power of the Thai media can not be underestimated in its ability to influence public opinion. In the recent past, Rosepaper itself has been affected by sensationalistic media reports which targeted katoey.

In 1996 an education student who happened to be a katoey murdered a young woman in an apartment near the university. Commenting about the case, newspaper reports made negative comments about katoey in general. Moo complains, “After that woman was killed, the media used generalizations and stereotypes to describe katoey. People began to look down on us, because they thought that all katoey are cruel and violent.”

Aum adds, “I think that after that incident, Rosepaper lost some of its influence on campus. Many people believed what was written in the newspapers, that katoey are unstable people.”

Chris laughs when told that many Westerners believe that Thailand accepts katoey. The lack of legal and religious sanctions against homosexuality has led some observers to conclude that there is no homophobia in this country. “Well, I wouldn’t exactly say that it’s easy to be a katoey in Thailand. Many people look at us in a negative way, and there is a lot of discrimination. For example, look what happened at Rajabhat [the national teacher's college]. After the murder in Chiang Mai, they banned katoey from entering as students. They said the Chiang Mai incident proved that katoey are dangerous and shouldn’t be teachers. I couldn’t believe it!”

The Thai media plays a large role in perpetuating this discrimination. For example, journalists who write about homosexuality and katoey typically rely on the analysis of academics and psychologists. Through newspaper and magazine articles, these “authorities” have popularized the belief that transgenderism is a “disease” which must be treated.

Having a “deviant” child makes parents of katoey often feel shameful, especially because psychological theories usually place the blame for this “unnatural” situation on the parents’ child-rearing practices. Similar to out-dated American psychoanalytic theory from the 1950s and 60s, one of the more popular explanations of transgenderism lays the blame at the feet of mothers who pay too much attention to their young male children.

Television soap operas also broadcast negative images of katoey by portraying them as one-dimensional characters. Whether as comic relief or bitchy queens, roles for katoey are extremely limited. Moo protests, “TV shows portray katoey as all having the same kind of personality. It’s not fair to us because many different kinds of people are katoey.”

On campus, CMU students tend to have mixed feelings about katoey. On the one hand, many do not wish to have a child who is transgendered. ” I can accept katoey as a friend,” states Bon, “but not in my family. I would feel very upset and disappointed if my son became a katoey. I would try to make him change his mind.” Gop concurs, “I think people don’t want to have children who are katoey, because they think that everyone will look down on them since their children are different from others.”

Students also feel negatively about katoey who draw attention to themselves by dressing and acting in a conspicuous manner. Tom believes that katoey often want to be the center of attention. ” Sometimes I don’t like their over-acting; even a real woman doesn’t act like that.” Bo is frightened of katoey. “I think katoey are more aggressive than women. They shout and act tough. I think they have violent emotions.”

On the other hand, CMU students tend to approve of katoey who dress and act like “proper women”. “I feel more comfortable around katoey who are quiet and don’t dress so outrageously,” says Ann.

Students also note that katoey apply themselves diligently to their chosen pursuits, and therefore become very accomplished. Both male and female students readily express the respect they have for katoey who are hard workers.

Students often describe katoey as good students, and talented in performance-oriented activities, such as dancing and cheer-leading. In fact, katoey are highly sought out as trainers for students taking part in campus cheer-leading competitions.

Dang, a third year economics student, says, “When katoey do a show or performance, they act confident, and when they do a project or some work, they try to do it very, very well. This makes other people accept them and their work” . Min agrees. “Katoey do whatever they can to make people accept them.” Ann, a business student, would be embarrassed if she had a son who was katoey, but claims, “If katoey have some skill in an activity or work, that makes it better.”

Pim, a member of Rosepaper, is also well aware of the connection between skill and social acceptance. “I think that people accept katoey if they work hard and have some kind of ability. That is why I work so hard.”

Beauty and talent are particularly admired in Thai society, and the members of Rosepaper have plenty of both. But the success of the club is double-edged, as it both supports and challenges traditional stereotypes. Gan stresses that for every katoey who wants to work in the entertainment industry, there are others who intend to follow different careers. Regardless, “A lot of people think that after we graduate, we will go into show business, or perform in cabarets, or even become prostitutes. That’s too bad, right?”

However, “Being in a group like Rosepaper gives us the confidence to express who we really are. I hope that Thai society can understand that it is better for people to display their true feelings than to keep them hidden inside.”
