Ok so I'm sure this has been talked about already but I would like to go over it again.

Why in Thailand do you have ladyboys working alongside regular girls in bars?

If you are a straight man it is very annoying when there is a ladyboy that is always coming up to you asking you to buy he/she a drink. Excuse me I told you for the 7th time I am not buying you a drink because I would like to sit and talk to a real woman and not a ladyboy. If you are into that sorta thing good for you but go to a specific bar that caters to ladyboys. If I was a bar owner I wouldn't be hiring ladyboy staff they are just a annoyance to the customers.

Doesn't it seem like this is a recipe for problems when they are working at the same bar? And isn't it bad for business?

Thanks!

Nothing wrong in catering for all tastes.

Because it gives a sense of variety and equality amongst the staff and punters, and maybe just maybe, the owners know what they are doing.

Yes, lets segregate and conform to our own thoughts, lets see where that goes in time.

When segregation and a lack of understanding exist, yes problems will exist. If it was bad for business, do you think they would do it? Maybe, just maybe, they didn't want you, just saying.

Maybe you should be posting on some other lower end Thailand forum.

The OP tink too much......

Having the odd ladyboy in a bar usually adds to the fun. They can be a little bit crazy you know

If you really have such a dislike to ladyboys hassling you in the bar you are drinking in then all you have to do is talk to the Mamasan

or owner of the bar and say that you don't appreciate the hassle you are getting from said LB.

Personally speaking I think that they are an asset to a bar,they are lively,pull in the punters and when the sh#t hits the fan they also

double up as security.......plus they can normally give you one hellava game of pool.

Live and let live fella...........

"If you are a straight man its very annoying" ?

Why what happened? Did you accidentally bed one and now you are annoyed?

I don't understand the problem.. you can always go to a different bar.

I have observed one particular group of Europeans that look rough and tough yet love boy band music and an occasional walk on the wild side

When are they going to bring back those buses for whites and buses for blacks, I mean it's about time !

<deleted> ?

Ladyboys are very popular in Thailand and make some of the best workers in bars and entertainment venues.

The OP should investigate why he thinks they are irritating. Normally they are not irritating, they're just ladyboys being ladyboys.

Maybe the OP had a experience and was left with a bad taste in his mouth.

It gives you a choice between the pre-op ladyboy who is hassling you and the post-op ladyboy that you are chatting up...

Must be allot of closet gay guys that justify their exploits by taking men in dresses?

They do it in massage parlors too. Thats going too far in my opinion.

My last foot massage, I noticed a manly grip. Yuk.

I don't know why there has a be a sheila in a frock at nearly every restaurant too. Puts my off me prawns.

Why don't you drink in a normal bar?

You want to hang out in the seedier kinds of places then complain that it is, well, seedy.

Depends on who's sinking the pink and who's sinking the brown

The LadyBoys are prettier?

Just my friends Bt 300 BarFine's opinion ...

I think the real question is can flyingsaucersarereal can milk this as professionally as K Costas ...

I know deep down, I'm going to regret the post above.

OP could be suffering from penis envy!

OP, as crazy or sad as it sounds , but the reason is because so many "straight" man are not really all that straight.

I once asked the bar owner the same question and his answer was because they bring money and customers.

OP, out of interest, where is this particular bar/bars located?

What is the customer base, ie, mainly locals or tourists?

The answer to line 2 should give you the answer. LB's are a novelty for tourists to Thailand. If it is mainly locals, you may have read the clientele slightly wrong. Considering the job of the manager/owner is to make the bar profit (as konying said earlier), then they will offer diversity in their leased products..................

Seriously, if you are that offended with the LB's, have a word with the mamasan, the word will spread quickly enough.

Ladyboys working in bars are fun aslong as they are working in the bar and not for them selfs

any man that fells threatend by a ladyboy need to take a good look at their own sexuality

or else run the risk of a real Bowshering..........

Gay men are not attracted to Ladyboys, any Ladyboys I have seen with there partners look as straight as a pole....

Just my two cents worth...

You bad boy.

There is a few farang lads down in Bangkok who are in relationships with ladyboys and they

seem to be realy happy. Then again most other farang wouldent know she is actualy a he!

II do believe in truth in advertising and before any interaction it should be made clear that the lady is actually a ladyboy. I make no judgement on her rights to be what she wants to be but the customer should have rights to only get what he wants to get.

First hint..... The elbow dont buckle...................................

Most people would probably ask the person in question if they are, or aren't. There is nothing to be ashamed of by having been fooled. It's would be taken as a compliment by the ladyboy.

Harrrrryyyyy - you have to feel the love, mate.

It might surprise you to learn that many of these Ladyboys have more money than the gals....and actually own many of the girlie bars. People of a different persuasion often patronize each other....and, like it or not, control the bar scene to an amazing degree. Some are downright good managers and know their way around town government/protection schemes. Street savvy.
