  1. Bangkok V Pattaya: which is best for ladyboys?

    Bangkok vs Pattaya for ladyboys, a guest blog

    We all know that Thailand is the best country in the world for ladyboys. Not only are Thai ladyboys the hottest shemales you can find, the country just has the largest numbers of chicks with dicks. Where else can you walk outside of a five star hotel and be surrounded by hot ladyboys in a matter of minutes? Nowhere!

    But Thailand has numerous cities. And visitors only have a limited amount of time in the country. Even long term stayers and expats have to chose a base of locations to settle down in. So it's only natural to wonder which Thai city is the best for ladyboy lovers.

    While the majority of ladyboys seem to come from the Isan region, the ones who are interested in farang almost all seem to end up in Bangkok or Pattaya. Sure there are exceptions. You can find plenty of ladyboys in places like Chiang Mai and Phuket too. But Bangkok and Pattaya are the biggest places to find the most Thai ladyboys.

    Which is best? That is a question everyone can have a different opinion on. I personally enjoy both Pattaya and Bangkok. But I can appreciate each city for what it is. Bangkok is a hot and developed metropolis. Pattaya is a growing but still moderately sized city along the beach. Both are real hotspots for ladyboys, but they do have their differences.

    I personally think Bangok is the better city when it comes to go go bars. Pattaya only has three main go go bars at this point: Baby Boom, Surprise Yourself, and Katoeys R Us. And while they are good, they are not as good as the best go go bars in Bangkok. Plus Bangkok just has a lot more of these kinds of bars. The last time I counted there were 8 purely ladyboy gogo bars in Nana Plaza alone. Plus there is Cockatoo over on Soi Cowboy.

    Pattaya has the upper hand when it comes to short time bars. There are beer bars all over the town where you can find ladyboys. Plus there are tons of ladyboy specific bars like 69 on Soi Made In Thailand and all the places on Soi 6/1. You can walk into any of these places starting in the early afternoon and get short time on demand in a room upstairs. You probably won't pay much more than 1000 Baht either.

    Bangkok is clearly better when it comes to dating ladyboys. Not only are there way more Bangkok-based ladyboys on Thai Friendly and My Ladyboy Date, they are more likely to be “good girls” looking for a real relationship. It's not impossible to find real love in Pattaya. But don't count on it. Most ladyboys who go to Pattaya are looking for money. There's nothing wrong with that, but lets not kid ourselves about it.

    Bangkok is also better when it comes to discretion. That's because the escort scene is a lot better in the capital. First of all you have Smoociwhich groups all the escorts together so you only have to go to one place to check them out. You can see verified pictures and reviews, and book the ones you like right to your room. Down in Pattaya you have to sort through the ladyboys on the dating sites and you never really know what you're going to get.

    In summary, both Bangkok and Pattaya are great places to find ladyboys. If you like go go bars go to Bangkok. If you like easy short time with budget prices, go to Pattaya. If you want to find a ladyboy girlfriend or need privacy and discretion Bangkok is going be better for you.

    For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining Thai Friendly which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.
    For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining My Ladyboy Date which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.

    For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try Smooci.

  2. Surviving Your First Time in a Ladyboy Go-Go

    Go-go bars can be daunting places if you've never been in one. Couple that with the fact that you're in a foreign country – maybe even for the first time – and going into a ladyboy bar for the first time, and well, it's enough to make the bravest man a little nervous and sweaty.

    Not to mention there is probably going to be a high-pressure sales pitch from a bevy of beauties from the minute you walk into the place; it's like bloody chum to sharks. They will be circling. They can smell new blood the minute a noob walks in the door. After all, this is their job.

    Even if you are a veteran of go-go bars in Thailand, some guys are nervous about walking into a ladyboy a-go-go, for the simple fact that they are new to the world of ladyboys. Will it be the same experience?

    While go-gos vary from place to place, just like any other kind of bar, if you've been in go-gos before, then the experience in a ladyboy go-go bar won't be considerably difference (well, aside from the obvious difference, but if you're here reading this, we'll assume you've already got that figured out).

    If you've never been in a go-go in Thailand before, not to worry; there are a few simple rules to follow and methods to employ that will help you keep your head above water and keep you – and your baht – out of the sharks' mouths.

    First off, as a general rule, if you're new to the scene in general and Thai ladyboy go-go bars in particular, it should go without saying that walking into one your first time while falling down drunk is probably not a good idea. Sure, maybe a drink or two before hand will be nice to help you relax and get your courage up, but keep a lid on it; this should go without saying.

    Second of all, again, as a general rule, remember you are the boss. Ultimately, you are in control of the situation (provided you've observed the preceding rule). That doesn't mean you should adopt a confrontational attitude; as you've no doubt read elsewhere, confrontation doesn't work well in Thailand. Losing one's cool is a big loss of face.

    Face is a topic in and of itself, and beyond the scope of this article; let it suffice to say from those of us that have lived here awhile: getting angry in the face of a problem will seldom get you anywhere in Thailand. Just be polite, always smile – but don't be afraid to say no and don't be afraid to be firm. Again, just do it with a smile.

    Make the Mamasan Your Friend

    Okay, so those general rules are common sense, and you'd like some practical advice. You know you're going to get bombarded with the hard sell – "I come sit with you? You buy me drink? I wan' go wit' you!" – and know how to politely but firmly decline all these offers on the way to your seat.

    What else will get you through your first-time in a ladyboy go-go relatively unscathed and out of the bar with Mrs. Right (Now) in tow?

    The most obvious thing is to go in with a friend/wingman; there is safety in numbers, and all that. Particularly if the friend/wingman is a veteran; many guys who are experienced in this scene are happy to help guys that are new to it; check the forum and see who might be about and interested in having a drink with you when you hit the go-go that first time.

    But what if you prefer to fly solo or no one is about that particular night?

    Well one strategy that's worked well for many go-go veterans is befriend the mamasan. The mamasan is the bar manger; she's the one the girls have to answer to if there is a problem. Walk into the bar, ask a service girl if you can see the mamasan. When she comes over, ask her if you can buy her a drink and if she'll sit with you for a moment. Tell her this is your first time visiting this particular bar and you'd like her advice on the girls and proceed to tell her what you're looking for.

    Not only will this help you narrow down your choice – and keep in mind in a place like Nana Plaza's Cascades in Bangkok, there may be 60 some ladyboys milling about the place – but the hard sell from the girls will dry up like that. They see you sitting and chatting with the mamasan – naturally they don't want to do anything that might not look good in front of the boss lady. They might even conclude you are an acquaintance of hers, and therefore not some noob tourist easily separated with his baht.

    Even after you've become a regular, it pays dividends to befriend the mamasan in your favorite go-gos. Generally mamasans are pretty shrewd, and will want to insure that you have a good time and become a repeat customer. This won't always be the case – we can think of a few exceptions – but more often than not, they won't steer you wrong.

    A variation on this technique comes in handy once you've been in a go-go once or twice. Call a girl you know to sit with you; this will ease up on the hard sell pressure from the other girls (except the hopeful ladies that will ask you if you're interested in two friends for the evening). Buy her a drink and be up front – but polite – that you're interested in going with someone else tonight but that you wanted to buy her a drink and say hi.

    Most girls will be okay with this, and may even suggest friends of theirs, or warn you about girls that have had problems with customers in the past. But be smart and use your judgment; some girls may be unhappy with this; a few may even cause a scene if they're under the influence. Of course, even if the girl is cool with this, you should tip her for her time, on top of buying her a drink.

    Last But Not Least

    Remember, too, that your reputation will precede you. The girls who work in go-go bars have memories like elephants (it's beneficial to their job, after all) and they have a pretty tight network among their colleagues. Always conduct yourself like gentleman and treat the ladies well; word will soon get around and generally you'll get treated in kind.

    Cause problems and act like an asshole, and you'll get an equivalent reputation quickly that will be hard to get rid of.

    Of course the converse is also true; don't let people take advantage of you. Always be polite, be firm, keep your wits about you and don't be afraid to say no (albeit with a smile). Having a reputation as a nice guy who nevertheless keeps his wits about him and doesn't put up with shit will make future visits to the go-gos much easier.

  3. Playhouse Cabaret

    To get to Playhouse the easiest way is to hop on the BTS and exit Ratchathewi, it's a short walk to the Asia Hotel:
    Asia Hotel Bangkok

    296 Phayathai Road

    Phayathai Bangkok 10400

    I was excited to visit on a recent visit to Bangkok and had high expectations. The last time I was there was on the last night of Calypso at the Asia Hotel, which left a great memory of the place. The venue remained unchanged - large enough yet not as massive as some of the high-end productions, leaving enough room for an up close and personal experience. Such a great space. Ticket at 1200 TBH raised some expectations, that’s Tiffanys prices, ok.

    First thing I noticed that those cheap restaurant chairs where still there, man they hurt your ass after like 15 mins. And wow it almost seemed they doubled the amount. Made me giggle to see some customers actually struggling to get passed other seated customers, consequently being near glued together. I like my personal space, hypersensitive kid an all.

    Also the same lecture-hall set up remained unchanged, which I never understood given that the space is so well suited for playful and personal lay-out. They really could have thought that through a bit better IMHO and overhauled it to do justice to the space. But oh well, stage is not too small, not too large, easily fits backdrops, 20+ performers, etc. All good stuff, but enough about the venue.

    The show itself is actually quite surprising. In a positive way. None of that high-end production Thai-Indian-Russian song touristy stuff. – not that there is anything wrong with that, like that dude said: “you love that shit man.” Playhouse has a nice (and fresh) mixture of quashi-modern songs combined with some cabaret, and even some musical, classics. I did find it a bit of a mix and match, with not always the right levels of energy flowing in and out. Funny also that they position themselves as Ladyboy cabaret, didn't feel it was actually with guys taking the lead in quite a few sets.

    DSC_3527.png

    Its was nice to see that they maintained ‘The Joker’ who kind of does his own thing throughout the sets, although he was a bit too much in the forefront for my liking, needs the surprise factor rather then be a common denominator which I felt he kind of became. You know that kid that is always there but goes unnoticed.



    Anyway, you boys will want to know, any hot chicks? Sure. Not my style, but quite a few beautiful, and quite a few sexy ones.

    DSC_3289.png

    Did I like it? Meh. It was all right. I do really ike what they try to do, they do try to serve something different from the high-end productions with some surprising performances. I also like the energy of the performers, they do really try to make a show and sure I think they are pretty, handsome and talented and all. But you see the execution is just mediocre, student-esque even, and stage sets, well, you recall when you where in kindergarten, handcraft class, I’ll stop there. And man I get shivers down my spine every time I walk into an amazing space and see it not watered properly.

    Right, the main problem I have with the current approach is that they are charging me 1200 TBH in a prime location with a stellar cabaret heritage and serve me up something that is simply mediocre, albeit has the potential to be great. That just pisses me off. Put the proverbial dots on the i. It needs the right investment across all axis to do justice to the space and heritage. Having said all that, it remains one of the best spaces I have seen for a truly unique, playful and personal cabaret. I’ll tell you one thing, if I ever hit that lottery I am buying that space and serve it right. Ever watched Burlesque?

  4. Thailand Ladyboy bars where you can sample the...

    The biggest problem with meeting ladyboys or even regular chicks on the internet to me is that you can never be sure of what you're going to get. Unless you go with a reliable outlet like Smooci where you can read verified reviews you might be unpleasantly surprised in the room. My answer to this is to stick to places where I can get out the merchandise and have a look or test drive before I commit to anything. Thankfully there are a few ladyboys bars in Thailand where this is allowed.

    Over the years I have noted a number of bars where I can get my hands and more filled without paying a barfine or shelling out a ton of dough. They are basically scattered across Pattaya and Bangkok. I've been able to do a little more touching and feeling in other parts of Thailand, but no places were reliable enough to add to my main list.

    Best in Bangkok

    In Bangkok you have all the main ladyboy go go bars in Nana Plaza and now Soi Cowboy. Your mileage may vary depending on the bar and the ladyboy, but you can usually get pretty hands on in any of these places. A lot of times they get to touching on you whether you like it or not. It's not out of the norm for guys or the girls to get their cocks out and put them into action in these places either. Some are more discrete than others.

    In my experience Charade on the third floor of Nana Plaza allows for the most mileage. Cockatoo on Soi Cowboy allows for the least. Others are in between, but again it just depends on the situation. Sometimes they act all calm and reserved. Another time you might see a head bobbing up and down out of the corner or your eye.

    The regular Bangkok ladyboy bars are next. Here I'm talking about places like Check Inn and Chaos 9. Check Inn is on a little alley just as you turn down Soi 10 from Sukhumvit Road. There's a sign out front that is easy to see. Inside you find a bevy of ladyboy babes in lingerie who are eager to sit with you, or sit on you. It can get very wild inside. Last visit I saw a ladyboy riding a big dildo with a suction cup on the bar!

    Plenty in Pattaya

    Down in Pattaya you have a lot of options too. First there are the go go bars like Kathoeys R Us on Walking Street and Surprise Yourself and Baby Boom up around Soi Bukhao. You can usually take a look at the goods in any of these bars. And I've seen kissing and petting too. But for real fun Baby Boom is the unmistakable choice. There are ten or more ladybody dancers in there wearing just knickers or less, and they're always eager to get busy. In fact I'd be surprised if you could get out of the place without being touched in all sorts of ways! For my money it's the best value in town in terms of ladyboy bars.


    For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining Thai Friendly which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.

    For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining My Ladyboy Date which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.

    For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try Smooci.
