This post from my good friend soranno from another forum - but its just so good its worth sharing this information here too.

Bangkok

Bangkok; One of the largest cities in Asia and without a doubt the
best city in the world for meeting beautiful ladyboys. We have listed
as many places here as we are aware of at the time of this writing in
November, 2005; At the time of this writing all these
places opened at about 6-7PM and closed between 1 and 2AM.

Casanova Bar; Second floor in Nana Plaza, on the left hand side
towards the rear. Small ladyboy bar which has been there for years and
still has the largest concentration of the amazon-like ladyboys that
have made this place famous. Every night you can find between 20 and
30 shemales in this place; bar fine is 500 baht and they have short
time rooms on the 3rd floor for 300 baht for 2 hours. The bar itself
opens at about 6:30 and goes until 1AM. An institution in Bangkok
ladyboy circles and a must-see on everyones trip agenda. Teresa and
her friends will take good care of you; if you like tall shemales with
large dicks and large tits, this is the place for you.


Cascade Bar; Third floor in Nana Plaza, towards the rear corner on
the right-hand side. This was always there as a lady bar but was
converted to a ladyboy bar in September 2003. Many of the freelance
girls who used to cruise Sukhimvit now work in this place, and you can
see between 40-50 girls a night in this bar, which is pretty big and
much larger than Casanova. That's right, fifty or more beautiful
ladyboys on any given night! Without a doubt this is the best ladyboy
bar in the world and we highly recommend checking this place out. Bar
fines 600 baht with short time rooms less than 5 minutes away. Great
decor; a bit loud but with so many ladyboys you will be amazed;
another must-see on any ladyboy-lovers trip itinerary!


Temptations; 2nd Floor, Nana Plaza, located next to the
Fantasia bar. New bar, just opened in June of 2005. This is a long
and slim bar which has a bit of a claustrophobic feel to it; you will
feel as though you are "right on top" of the dancers, literally! Made
up of many of the free-lance girls who used to roam the outsides or
Nana Plaza and girls who have left Cascades or
Obsessions bar, this new place has been said to be a bit too
aggressive as far as the girls are concerned; hopefully that will
change over time because most customers of these bars that we know do
not want the hard sell. This will be hard to compete with the larger
Cascades bar upstairs on the 3rd floor, but we welcome it in to the
ladyboy scene; any time a new ladyboy bar opens it is good for us guys
who want more selection.


Obsessions Bar; first floor, Nana Plaza, rear
right hand side. This is a Nana Plaza institution and is the
2nd-longest ladyboy running bar right after Casanova. Great place;
every night over 30 girls come out on to the small stage and some are
very very hot indeed. This place is not quite as good as Cascades up
on the 3rd floor just because they do not have as much room and less
girls, but for sure this is a good bar and worth checking out. Lots of
the girls in here are the petite kind, not the amazon's you will see
in Casanova and many of the taller girls that work in Cascades now. In
business since about 2001, this is yet another great shemale bar in
Bangkok which every serious ladyboy-lover simply must check out.


Kings Castle 3;Kings Castle 3; Patpong road, left-hand side halfway
up the road, coming from the Silom road entrance. Another Bangkok
institution which has been there for years, this place still has the
most attractive ladyboys in all of Thailand, probably in the whole
world. Between 30-40 ladyboys most nights in this wild place; bar
fines are 500 baht and they have an attached short time room for
another 400. Problem is that in this place you never know if your
potential date has a dick or not. About half of the ladyboys in here
are post-ops, and that has never changed since we have been going in
there since 2001. We will keep you posted on any changes but for now
get yourself down to "KC3" and see this local landmark. Not exactly
our number 1 choice for ladyboy bars in Bangkok as there is a bit of a
hard sell and the music is at least 5 times louder than it should be,
but again this should be included in your trip plans at least one time
if you are going to Thailand to meet ladyboys. You will see some
amazing beauty in this place.


Kings Corner; Also on Patpong Road, about a 10 o'clock
direction from when you walk out of Kings Castle 3. Or, coming from
the Surawong side it would be about 100 meters down on your left, at
the little alley that leads over to Foodland. There is a little soi
next to it, and a large sign out front. This place is 100% post-op
mixed in with genetic ladies, about a 50/50 split, and a massive
number of girls work in this place; we have seen over 50 at one time
on their large stage. If you like ladyboys who are already
post-operative, this is the place for you; make sure you ask if your
potential date is a female or a post-op, and rest assured no one with
a dick still attached will be working in this place. Some of the most
beautiful people of any gender that you could ever see work in here.

Soi Cee, Ratchada Road; This is a large selection of
dance bars on Soi 4 Ratchada road; ask any Taxy driver, just get in
and say "Soi Cee Ratchada". You will be dropped at a huge mecca for
Thai teenagers and early 20-somethings, about 99% Thai and very few
westerners. Mostly ladies available here, but always some ladyboys
mixed in, many of them Cabaret workers from the Ratchada Cabaret or
Golden Dome going out for fun after their shows. Beware; many of these
are post-ops, always ask if that is not your thing. Great place and
very fun, even if you don't meet ladyboys here you will have a good
time; Wednesdays through Saturday, 8PM till 130AM.

Hollywood Disco, Soi 6 Ratchada; Huge Disco, mostly
genetic females in this place with the occassional ladyboy mixed in,
usually in groups with their friends having fun and dancing, but can
be picked up. Same as at Soi Cee, these girls are sometimes "nice
girls", the kind that work in Cabaret's or go to university and don't
work in the bars, although you will see a few of those also. A sure
telltale sign that the girl you are interested in is indeed a ladyboy;
she will be playing with her hair and stroking it every few seconds.
These places now beat out RCA as the 2 best places to find ladyboys in a non-go-go bar
setting in Bangkok. You could also try Khoa San road, the hippy
backpacker haven; lots of freelancers walk around there or go dancing
at The Club or Suzy Wong's or Lava; not really sure why, most of the backpacking crowd seem to not be too interested in meeting ladyboys.


Bali Seafood; Huge restaurant on soi 6
Ratchada road, about 200 meters down from the Soi Cee bars and on the
same road that Hollywood Disco is on. Great place that doesn't even
open until about 11PM and goes until 5 or 6AM, you can get food and
Beer here and do some serious people-watching; all the real girls and
ladyboys who went to the bars flock here on weekends and there are
also many of the Nana and Patpong girls and ladyboys, they come here
to party after their shift is over. Outstanding place for night owls
and insomniacs, try this place out from about 1AM to 6AM and have fun.
Hint; many ladyboy prefer this place on "off" nights, like a sunday or a tuesday, because it's less crowded; weekends are absolutely packed here.



Other assorted meeting places; Lumpini Park
always has street-walking freelancers strolling around the outside
fringes of it. The prices for these girls is pretty cheap, but beware
pickpockets and the language barriers may be tough as many of these
girls can't speak very good english; we have also heard reports that
this place is rather dangerous so be careful if you choose this route;
not recommended. Also....many post-ops passing themselves off as women down here.

Any traveller to Bangkok will know about Sukhimvit Road,
which is also a street where ladyboy hookers have sold their trade for
years. However, in recent years there has been a crackdown on hooking
on this street, and it is harder and harder to meet ladyboys there
but you still can. If you are looking for ladyboys on Sukhimvit, start walking up
and down the odd side between about soi 5 and Asok road at about 10PM until about 3AM and you are bound to see dozens. Remember, all freelance ladyboys
have to be looked at with a bit of suspicion, they don't work in the
bars sometime for good personal reasons but also could be because they
were not allowed back in after doing something wrong. After 1AM this
area is flooded with ladyboys from the Nana bar scene, eating and
chatting with friends, but they will go home with you if asked. Now there is a whole selection of mini-bars set up with food around also and you can drink and eat until sunrise down there. Take a good seat and watch the seat; ladyboys, ladies and drunken farang's from all over the world make this a cool place to hang for a few hours, any night of the week. Downside to meeting a girl here; ladyboys from Nana have been working for 6 hours already by this time and may have been with 2 or 3 guys before you and may therefore just mail in their performance at 2AM by the time you meet them.

Outside of Nana Plaza at 1AM is a gold mine for ladboy
lovers and just plain anyone who likes to have fun! This place is
where it all happens; ladyboys and ladies getting off their shifts,
and all the freelancers from Sukhimvit all converge on that little
space between Nana Plaza and the Nana hotel; it is like Mardi Gras
every night of the week. If you can't get laid here, you are just not
trying hard enough.

There is also a stretch of New Petchburi Road near the Amari
hotel where there are about 20-30 hookers walking every night, some
ladies and some ladyboys, and some post-ops. Hard to make out who is
who on this wild stretch of road; be warned. This is a 1-mile stretch
of road and again, we really don't recommend picking up anyone from
the streets of Bangkok that are outside the tourist area's.



Chiang Mai:
This section is a little light, I haven't been there in 2 years; please feel free to add on!

This is still one place that we have to explore more of; we
know that Chiang Mai produces some of the most beautiful ladyboys in
the world, but we still don't know where exactly to meet them in this
gorgeous city because we have only been here a few times and there are
no dedicated go-go bars or places to specifically meet ladyboys. For
sure we would recommend the Simon Cabaret, which is the place where Dina, Ponlien, Gau and Yoh and so many other beauties work on a nightly basis. Just get into a tuk-tuk and tell the guy you want the Simon
and he will know where to take you; it's kind of a cruise so don't try
to walk it or find it yourself. When the show ends at the end of the
night, the girls all gather around the exit of the cabaret and chat
and take pics with the tourists; this is the time to go over and chat
up these girls, and try to take one home. They are all extremely
friendly and nice, and will chat with you no problems. Great place, 30
or more ladyboys working there, and all beauties. Remember; many [maybe half? of these girls are post-ops; always ask first if that is not your thing.


We have also heard that there is a thriving ladyboy scene in
the university crowd here, but it seems like that would be a tough nut
to crack. Getting in friendly with these beautiful CM college kids
would be heaven on earth if you could pull it off. Like many
university campusus around Thailand, the one at CM has many future
shemales going to school there. Many of these girls speak little or no english.

Ponlien from the Simon also told us that there are many
ladyboys in Tapar road but we never had the chance to go and check
that out. Could be a good place because she says that many of her
friends work down there. We have also seen huge groups of ladyboys
walking around the downtown area's together late at night, about 20-30
of them inside the old walled city. Some of these girls are
freelancers and are VERY young; be careful. Some others work in the
cabaret's and are just looking for some spare cash. As usual, the
girls that can be found here and actually anywhere in the Chiang Mai
area are some of the most beautiful ladyboys in the entire world.



Pattaya


Tiffany Cabaret; The largest and best cabaret in Pattaya and
home to some of the most lovely ladyboys in the Kingdom. The Miss
Tiffany is a hit nationwide every year and features the cutest
ladyboys in Thailand on the Tiffany stage. This place is on the 2nd
road in Pattaya and is worth seeing their high-quality show at least
once; but meeting with these girls is sometimes hit-or-miss. Like many
cabaret girls, these girls are not very good with english and may
appear stand-offish at times. But be friendly and cordial and don't
just talk about sex and you may have a chance to take home one of
these cuties.


Alcazar; Similar to the Tiffany Show above, this is
another large show in Pattaya which features beautiful ladyboys from
all over Thailand. Basically, whatever you see above for Tiffany
applies here; if you like Cabaret shows this should be another one on
your agenda. Same deal with the ladyboys also; you can take photos
and chat up a few and maybe get lucky!



Jenny Star Bar; Probably the best place to meet ladyboys in
Pattaya, this bar can be found on Walking Street directly below the
Marine Disco; you can't miss the place. Long oval-shaped bar which
plays blaring techno at very loud levels; take a stool near the street
side and watch from there. Between about 11PM and 3AM 25-30 ladyboys
will come and go from this place, some of them extremely hot. 200 baht
bar fine here and sometimes nothing at all; the girl will just take
off with you. Great place to meet ladyboys; terrible,
headache-inducing place to hang around for too long. Some posties mix in here now; they are usually more beautiful than the rest so you will spot them, if that is not your style choose a pre-op, whom are in the majority.




Limmatquoi Bar; In Soi Diamond, halfway up the soi on your
left heading up from Walking street. Usually 5 or 6 ladyboys hanging
around out here so you will know you found the right place when you
see that. Very dark in here; always about 15-20 girls working in this
place, but we have noticed that the overall quality level has gone
down in recent years. Worth checking out just to see it one time and
also, there are usually at least a few hotties in there as well.

Linda Bar; Walking street in Pattaya, about 50 meters up
from the Jenny Star and on the same side. This is an old Pattaya
institution and it shows on the girls; we have never seen anyone in
this bar even remotely worth taking home. Seems to be between 5 and 10
ladyboys per night working in here but they all look like drag queens
and we recommend against going to this place. Stick with Jenny Star or
the freelancers.

Hi Boss Bar, Soi 6; Also called Soi Yodsak, this is a great
street lined with bars up and down both sides and a bit more than
halfway down on the left side is the Hi-Boss 2000, owned by Chatchai.
Great lounge-type set up with couches and even a dancing pole and
hi-backed chairs situated around a long bar. This place could be the
best place in Pattaya and we highly recommend a visit here; bar fines
are about 200 baht and they have short time rooms right upstairs, you
can take a girl up there for an extra 200 for 2 hours and have fun.
Talent in here varies buf of the 25 or so that work there nightly at
least half are keepers. Check this place out if going to Pattaya, for
sure. This bar opens at around 2PM in the afternoon and goes until
1AM; after that the girls can be found hanging around outside. Yup, 12 hours of ladyboy quality can be found around this place, for sure check it out!

.
Other Places to meet Ladyboys in Pattaya;

Walking the Beach road anytime after 10PM will guarantee you
the chance to meet young ladyboys. We can not vouch for the quality of
these girls, and remember it is pretty dark down there, but we can
tell you that these girls will not put a dent in your wallet.Pros; the girls are much cheaper here. Cons; It hasalso been known to be dangerous down here and the police make frequent sweeps now. Advice; find somewhere else in Pattaya to meet ladyboys.

Sunee Plaza ;"behind" the VC hotel on Pattaya 2; This is a famous
gay area and most of these bars are for gay boys, but we hear that
Harrys Bar and some others in here have some cute ladyboys working in
them and young also. These fresh-in-from-the-country girls are just
being broken in at Pattaya and starting work here. Check ID cards on
these girls and the beach road as well and avoid problems. Kaos has
young and cute ladyboys in transition but that place is always in
flux; same as Sundance and Euro Boys you can usually meet 2 or 3 young
[sometimes too young, be extra careful] ladyboys in there, as long as
the cops are not having yet another raid. Advice; walk through Sunee
and check it out, you may get lucky; you may also get in trouble so
play it safe. Again, if you like ladyboys that look like real ladies and not young girls [or boys], stick with Hi-Boss or Jenny Star and avoid this place; it's mostly gay anyway.





Phuket


Patong Beach;



Soi Bangla; The center of all the action on the island of
Phuket, this is the place you want to be in this wonderful island, the
number one place in the world to have fun and meet ladyboys at the
same time. Begin on Soi Bangla, which is the main strip that divides
this beach resort down the center. There are always freelancers on
this great street between about 9PM and 3AM; you don't even have to
look; don't worry, they will find you.

On the left-hand side coming up from the beach road is a
large cluster of bars called the Soi Andaman Queen based on the large
sign out front which you can not miss. This place is also called Soi
Kathoey and Soi Crocodile; just ask anyone and they will know where it
is. As you enter the Soi, there are 2 Beer bars on the left side and 1
on the right that are ladyboy-only, and they also inter-mingle with
the patrons sitting at the tables in the middle of the soi. This is
all one big carnival of ladyboys, as on any given night you will see
between 30 and 40 very beautiful ladyboys walking around looking for
dates. A truly amazing place. There are also the occassional post-op
mixed in here so always ask first, and once you walk towards the rest
rooms in the rear it is all Lady-Only.

At the end of the Soi, there is a small cabaret called the
Andaman Queen, hence the name of the Soi. Some very beautiful ladyboys
work in here and it is a great place to watch a very camp drag show.
Some of the girls look awesome under all that makeup and this is where
you can meet them between shows.

A bit further up Soi Bangla from the beach is the Tiger
Disco complex, also on your left-hand side. 4th Beer bar down inside
this complex is called Cocktails and Dreams Bar; this is also ladyboy
only and has between 25-30 girls there every night. This is run by
a nice guy named Nick from Australia who runs a very nice ladyboy bar, probably the best outdoor Beer bar for meeting shemales in the whole world. From our point of view there is no better Beer bar on the
entire planet in which to meet beautiful ladyboys. Cheap drinks,
friendly staff, and "lady drinks are the same as customer drinks"
make this place especially inviting, and there is no hard sell from
the girls, Nick just does not allow it. Your number one must-see
destination when you are heading to Phuket and a ladyboy scene
institution.





Royal Paradise Complex; This complex of hotels and bars and
cabarets is the main gay area of Patong, but that doesn't mean you can
not get laid here. On any given night there are 30-50 ladyboys
strolling the grounds here, and indeed many of the ladyboys on Phuket
live right in this very complex.

The Tangmo; a great place on the left-hand side as you go in
the 'Entrance' side of the one-way Paradise complex. Large cabaret,
nice place with nice decor, and usually 15 ladyboys or more putting on
a good show here nightly. Friendly people and the manager Tak is very
nice and will take care of you. This place is gay most of the time,
and they have 2 shows with ladyboys in them; it is not a strictly
ladyboy bar. Many many transitional ladyboys work here, young 18 and
19 year old ladyboys just in from the country and starting off on
their journey into being ladyboys. If you like that style, you will
like it here.


My Way; Another gay dicso like the Tangmo, across the street
and down about 50 meters on the opposite side.this place is loaded
with boys 75% of the time but for 2 shows per night they bring in the
10-15 ladyboys who put on a great show. Some real cute ladyboys worh
in here and they are all very approachable and nice.

Boat Bar; Almost exclusively gay, this place nonetheless has
some ladyboy shows once in a while. Great place if you are gay and
have interest in boys, but kind of a dead zone for ladyboys. Same side
as the My Way, on the corner and across from the Royal Paradise hotel.
Very famous gay hang-out, known worldwide.

Simon Cabaret; On the road that leads towards Karon beach
but only about 2 miles from Soi Bangla is the Simon Cabaret. Without a
doubt some of the most beautiful ladyboys in all of Thailand work here
and in their sister cabaret, the Simon Chiang Mai. This one is very
popular with the tourists and employs about 40 beautiful ladyboys and
post-ops. Beauties like Aoh and Amy and Ji all work here, and that is
just a fraction of the talent here. Go there and watch the show and
then chat up the girls outside; you will see they are all charming and
lovely.

The Beach Road; This name speaks for itself and is obviously
easy to find. Only one problem; many of the girls that work here have
been banished from the Soi Bangla bars and are working here because
they have no where else to go. Not ALL the girls of course, but some.
With that said, you CAN find cute ladyboys on the beach road for sure.
They hang around on both sides of the street between the KFC and
Bangla between about 11PM and 3AM. Good prices down here; just be
careful for your wallet. About 15-25 ladyboys walking this strip in
the dry season.

Just in case you missed the count there, we just showed you
an example of the places you can meet ladyboys and about how many are
in each place; the total of this list was over 150 ladyboys! And we
are being conservative; for a very small place, Phuket Island has a
very large concentration of ladyboys! Follow this page, and check out
Phuket Island someday. It really is the best place on earth to combine a nice beach holiday with meeting ladyboys, they are everywhere and easy to find. So many people only go to Bangkok and Pattaya; please try something new on your next trip and include Phuket in your planning!


Koh Samui:

This is a place that we had an extinsive vist to in late 2003 but
that was the last time we have seen it, the scene could be much better
now.. From what we saw then, Chewang Beach is the place to be, and
the Christys Cabaret show has a ton of ladyboys hanging out before,
during, and after the show. The scene on the main drag in front of
this cabaret has about 20 ladyboys cruising the streets looking for
dates, and many more inside. However, this was really the ONLY place
we could find that has a large concentration of ladyboys. There was
another smaller cabaret down the street not too far from Christy's,
but we only saw 4 or 5 drag queens out there one night. There is also
a smattering of ladyboys working in Beer bars here and in Lamai, but
good luck meeting them. You can also meet ladyboys after midnight in
Chewang at the great Soi Mango strip of Beer bars and discos, which
for some reason never felt the pinch of the nationwide "morals"
crackdown and can stay open until 3AM. One tip; stay away from The
Reggae Bar; we can not endorse this place in any way, one of our
friends tried getting in here with his ladyboy date one night and
the bouncers stopped them and said "no Ladyboys allowed". Places like
that should go out of business.

You CAN meet ladyboys in Samui, and could even meet 6
or 7 different ones you would like to hold you through a week-long
vacation. But all-in-all if you want to have a beach vacation combined
with great nightlife, we would recommend that you stick with Phuket.

Hah ..... so huge and thoroughly prepared usefull information, especially for newbies. Thank you so much for sharing this info. Took long time to read, but worth the time. Cool

[DevonGuy]

Excellent. Excellent. You took some time to put this all down. It is well appreciated my friend.

As I stated in another post, I lived in Thailand for a year and actually lived on Soi Yee Sip Song Sukhumvit Road. I rented a nice 2 story house about 1/4 mile down from Sukhumvit. In those days I had a Thai girl living with me but also played the field before I met her. My haunt was the Grace Hotel and Thai Thurma. Don't know if any of these places are still there. I traveled all over Thailand, staying for some time in Pattaya and in Chang Mai.

These days I am into LBs. Guess I got bored with genetic girls. I actually now prefer LBs over girls and one reason that I am on this site.

I will be coming back to Thailand sometime in February or March. I have already determined a few things that I need to know about the LB scene. When I was living in Bangkok I don't think that it was so widespread as it is today. I actually stayed in the Nana hotel when it was a first class hotel and they had only two nightclubs off the lobby downstairs.

Questions:

Do most of the LBs come from depressed families that can't support them or do their families sell them to the bars?

Where do most LBs go at night to sleep, if they don't go with a client?

I'm only interested in Pre-Op LBs. I'm just curious about something. There are many Post-Op LBs. Do they have sex like a genetic girl or still like a Pre-OP from behind?

Thanks

Have come across this post elsewhere myself, however it appears to have been updated / amended from its original form.

Some excellent information for newbies, and possibly seasoned travellers may find something useful as well ?

It should be compulsory reading before any new member on the forum begins asking silly questions !

[charlie]

forgive my ignorance but what are 'keepers' as mentioned about the girls in the Hi Boss :?:

hope it's nothing bad or contageous

Excellent sticky BTW

In this context, a keeper is a Ladyboy that is worth KEEPING....
Basically an attractive, desirable, sexy individual that you would be happy to spend some time with and perhaps even "KEEP' for the duration of your stay in Pattaya !

P.S. I presume we aren't talking about the cricket term "KEEPER", which in that case would be the person fielding directly behind the wickets !

Brit, you "did it up right".
Comprehensive, hard-hitting, intelligent, no-nonsense, and - above all - USEFUL commentary.
THANK YOU!
However, this is what we have grown to expect from this forum:
Intelligent people helping other intelligent people.
And things are moving along quite well in this direction, thanks to you and other savvy gentlemen.
Right on!

[Brit]

Thanks Iron Bamboo,

I'll try to keep the information coming.

I thought this would be very useful to all incomers and a refresher to those residing within the LOS.

Please - I welcome other contributors - name the place (location/street) and provide a review of the establishment to supplement the review above. This thread could provide invalueable reading to all forum members.

Please list any place where you've seen LB's so others can share this knowledge.

Thanks and best wishes to all forum members.
