Popular Post Alpha84 Posted June 13 Popular Post Share Posted June 13 I found this forum after many posts came up while searching online for information about transsexuals in Thailand. I'm straight, not married and I'm half East Asian, half Caucasian. So I have some understanding of Asian culture from my upbringing. I'm now living in Dublin where I have been based for 4 years. I like the place here very much, better than Singapore where I was based for 12 years prior, and now I'm planning a first trip to Thailand for a 2 week jaunt next month. I'm excited about exploring SE Asian culture in Thailand and reconnecting with some of my own Asian roots. I am also interested in meeting some local women if that's at all possible. However, I've heard that it can sometimes be challenging to distinguish between Thai ladyboys and real Thai women. I want to ensure that I don't accidentally end up in a situation where I mistake a ladyboy for a real woman, that is if I am going to attempt to engage with the opposite gender over there at all. I guess I have several questions on the subject before I decide if I am going to venture out socially or not and would appreciate any advice or tips from the community on how to avoid making such a grave miscalculation. Are there any specific physical characteristics that can help me to differentiate a ladyboy from a cisgender woman? I don't mean the obvious differences in genitalia. For example, should I look for differences in certain features like lips, eyes, hands, feet, or something particular about body structure? Can the tone or pitch of someone's voice also be a reliable indicator of a Thai transgender versus a real Thai female? Are there particular ladyboy speech patterns, behavioral nuances or personality characteristics that I should start to become familiar with? What about body language and mannerisms? Are there certain gestures or behaviors that are more typical of ladyboys? Are there differences in how ladyboys and cisgender women dress or apply their makeup in Thailand? Are there specific clothing styles or trends of Thai ladyboy fashion that I should become familiar with? If I'm in a situation where I meet someone and I'm a bit uncertain, is it socially acceptable for me to ask them directly about their gender? Also, is it possible to approach this question respectfully and without causing offense? Are Thai ladyboys generally open and forthcoming about their male gender if questioned about or do they often try to avoid disclosing or revealing that they aren't a real cisgender woman? In the context of bars, clubs, and other nightlife venues, are there specific places I should avoid where ladyboys are more likely to be present or congregating? How can I also navigate these locations to ensure I avoid getting involved with a ladyboy unexpectedly? If I were ever to use a Thai dating app, are there particular signs or information in user profiles that can help identify whether someone is a ladyboy or a cisgender woman? Are there any common misconceptions or pitfalls that new visitors encounter when trying to avoid Thai ladyboys and meet a Thai woman through a dating app? I tried to cover everything, but is there anything else about Thai ladyboys that I didn't mention, but that I should be particularly cautious or aware of? If I were to accidentally engage with a ladyboy, and only realize my mistake during say a possible sexual encounter, then what would be the best remedy in that moment to safely remove myself from the situation, avoid possible danger or aggression against me from the ladyboy and to end the situation as quickly and amicably as possible? Is it helpful to ask any locals for advice or guidance on this matter when I arrive? If so, how can I approach this topic with them without seeming disrespectful to the local people and their culture? I realize I am posing a lot of queries, but I always want to be seen as being respectful and considerate if I do try to navigate through this aspect of gender culture in Thailand. I have nothing at all against transgender people. I fully respect them and the personal choices that they make for themselves, but I just don't want to accidentally find myself engaging with one romantically and/or sexually. Thus, your insights and advice on how to avoid making the mistake of inadvertently choosing beef when what I really want is some soft tender fish (sorry for my poor euphemism), would be greatly appreciated Thank you in advance for any of my many queries that you are able to help answer. 2 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tropicalevo Posted June 13 Popular Post Share Posted June 13 First check list is Big hands Big feet Larger calves Adams apple None of these are definite, just a hint. Main one that I recommend - a very sexy walk. The guys practice that one. Most girls do not. Other signs are the effeminate waving of hands (Italian style) and limp wrists. Enjoy your holiday. 2 1 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The second from last resort is the voice, usually a give away so get them talking. Some you can't tell by looks alone, except penis or ify vagina but then it's too late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 13 Popular Post Share Posted June 13 In 95% of the cases, if you ask them, they will be honest with you. In the event you do end up with one who is not honest, use your instincts. Does their face have an equine quality about it? This is very common. Are they overly aggressive? Also common? Do they have exceptionally and firm nice legs? Uncommon with Thai women. How about their voice? The tell tale signs are usually substantial. 1 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mfd101 Posted June 13 Popular Post Share Posted June 13 In my extremely limited experience - walking down near Nana, my b/f close by - it's hard to see how any 'straight' male could be mistaken. The ladyboys I passed by at 1100 in the morning were dressed in what appeared to be ball gowns and were about 6' tall ... We gave them a wide berth. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKJASE Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 if they are pushy and beautiful and tall, good chance they are a lady boy but as stated already, ask them.... they will normally tell you the truth, and then if you do make a mistake, it's not on you 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan O Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Just avoid Pattaya and Patong and Nana Plaza. If you wear a gold necklace then you'll find out real quick. If they're too pretty or want to walk up and give you a hug then walk away. You could also just ask them if they are a girl and they will generally tell you the truth.
