Ladyboys On The Rise

[Tarqin]

Amongst the usual cat calling on other threads someone makes an accurate observation namely that in the last say three months the number of Ladyboys in Pattaya seems to have increased exponentially.

Does anyone have any rationale explanation for this?

[britmaveric]

Dunno always been heaps of katoeys in Pattaya - hadn't noticed the increase.

[norrona]

errrr, supply and demand

seriously though, nothing worse than a woman being trapped inside a mans body....all the venom of a woman with the power of a man, do not cross these dudes....dude

[BigSnake]

My guess many guys like the service they provide, no strings, service and go, however BEWARE of your belongings(wallet). However the very best thing you can do is give them a wide wide BERTH.

If a lady boy starts to rise, get the <deleted> out of there

[Carib]

Supply and demand, a very basic thing.....

The girls were telling me the competiton is stiff !

In the hard economic times, the niche business might be more profitable. Yes I noticed the increase as well, anyway not my type of biz.....

I agree Tarqin, during a recent visit to Walking Street I was mobbed by Ladyboys offering their services. However I doubt that their presence has risen exponentially, maybe by 50% at most. For this 'rise', I have no exponation.

[tattoodrob]

to be honest i think theres been an increase over the last few years,either that or a lack of girls around. a lot of guys have wised up(a bit), and send there honey home(up country) and check them too, when there not in thailand

Gatoey students all over Thailand having Xtra classes in occasional school in Pattaya for holidays

[cali4995]

It's been more like the last few years. They're everywhere now. I think

we're actually in a period of gross oversupply. I don't really care for

their incessant trash talking, so specifically avoid places that employ them,

as most entertainment places in fun-town are hurting for customers, it

may be disingenuous of the owners to stock-up on katuhys. Just a thought.

Even the darkside has 'em

When into 'crossroads' bar on Soi nernplubwan the other night and the place was full of them the only 'female' was the cashier.

It was full of Bennies trying to be Miss Diane !

A very swift beer and check bin please!

Some guy from Syria I talk to once in awhile on the beach, who has been visiting Thailand for 20 years , said all the ladyboys got kicked out of Phuket.

So they all came to Pattaya.

Mabey someone in Phuket can verify if this is true.

[Tarqin]

Wow. Will post on Phuket forum and see if anyone knows.

[phaethon]

On the rise? Must be the Viagra...

It just occurred to me... Pattaya has got to be the place on earth with the highest consumption of Viagra per capita. Makes me wonder if the drug is voided through the urine and can enter the water table (after treatment) much as with female hormones (such as prescribed for HRT or birth control). If so, just drinking the water in Pattaya could 'give you rise...'

Definitely more and more. Now on second road just past soi 8 they have "shows" and a small stage or two similar to that Malibar bar. Seems every other bar has at least one. I guess that is fair. They try to cater to all interests.

[LennyW]

Could be due to this forum advertising TV nights out, maybe they got the wrong idea.... or did they????

I live in Patong and can confirm it's not true, wish it were though, they're a pain in the rear, er, somebody else's, not mine!

Originally I would have discounted the 'supply and demand' theory since for many years, it has always had a minority appeal. However, looking at another 2 or 3 forums, where there are whole sub-forums dedicated to discussing katoey charms with pictorial evidence, I would suggest that their customers are a fast-growing minority. Without opening the 'gay or not' can of worms, there appears to be a whole new generation of 'mongers' that avail themselves regularly of katoeys particular skill sets and consider it to be totally normal and no different from p4p with the real ladies of the night.

You are obviously the "go to" person on this subject??

The increase seems to coincide with the tsunami at Phuket. Due to lack of tourism after the event, many moved to Pattaya. Since then the number has grown out of all proportion.

Soi 6, an area I personally do not like, is being taken over by katoeys, I have been told. When I was trying to walk up the back road Soi 6/1 and a 6 foot silicone enhanced katoey blocked my way as he tried to sell his wares. I had to force my way past, while keeping my hand on my wallet. The comments that followed me were not polite!

Well gee whiz Sherlock, if you weren't such a pussy about walking up Soi 6 where the preponderance of totty still leans towards the truly female and not chosen to walk the WELL KNOWN TRADESMAN'S ENTRANCE FOR BACK-DOOR SPECIALISTS WITH MEAT & TWO VEG route of 6/1, you wouldn't have had to run that particularly scary gauntlet, eh?

I think he was just not your type. Better luck next time sexy man.

[BSJ]

It's 12 months later, but this time in October 2007 I stayed in Patong for a week and thought it strange not many about!

Different story in Pats. Doesn't worry me....each to his own.

[Jimjim]

Yes, the ladyboys are on the rise, and curiously the numbers of young, feminine men in Pattaya are declining in Pattya.

[kedawi]

Every few weeks someone posts something like this.

THis is probably just perception...if you start looking, you start seeing.

However in another thread it has been pointed out that the numbers of tourists ar down......so maybe they're just easier to see!

or maybe the tourist numbers are down so much in other areas that they are migratinng to Pattya in the hope of finding some business.

In the end it's a non-issue unless you are a closet queen or homophobic, in either case the problem is not the lady-boys, it's the observer.

You were actually approached by katoeys on Soi 6/1? I can't believe it.

Thanks for the guidance. Will update my mental GPS unit with that info.

As I said, dont go there often, as usually hit on by old and fat girls while my friend gets the crackers. Just because I am old and fat, does not mean I want the same type as me.

I prefer Jade House, Buffalo Bar (and the Winchester in the good old days - when I was younger )

And SW at night
