on Soi Bangla in Pastong (Phuket) opposite the lady boy area maybe every 6 months or so with friends and have a good laugh;

a) At the newly arrived families with 6 year old children expecting the brochure portrayed "Emerald of the Andaman" finding instead a bunch of transvestites hussling for money and hearing "Daddy, what is that funny looking woman doing?"

b) At the tourists who would have pictures taken with these guys in garb thinking it was a free deal only to be attacked en mass for some $ after!

c) At the number of western men, normally well drunk, new to Patong and in search of a "lone" Thai female thinking the lady boy zone was more lady than boy and ended up "pulling" there. I always wanted to find out what happened when a certain discovery was made but a weak stomach prohibited watching any closer! Check the larynx and gastrocnemius (calf muscle) before you let your hands go a wandering gents!

Speaking of which, my buddy in Phuket has recently landed himself a job photographing lady boys in the buff for an online subscription site. Bar steward did not tell me what his new job was and just sent me a web link to his work; no breakfast for me that morning. To him (not that way inclined, I am pretty sure) it is just a job. For me, I would rather eat rats.

Speaking of which: Nice girls from a distance
