Bangkok

Without a doubt the easiest city in the world for meeting beautiful ladyboys. We have listed as many places here as we know about! And if it isn't here then it's not worth knowing about! If you are aware of any updates and changes that should be included then email support@asiants.com and we'll add your contributions to help keep the information on this page current.

In Nana Plaza the hours are generally from 7PM till around 3 in the morning but it changes every night and there doesn't seem to be a well enforced procedure for bar closing. But after the bars have closed the ladyboys all spill out into the streets where you can save yourself a bar fine and also find dozens of bars on sukhumvit selling cheap drinks. In fact these mini- bars on the street are open till day break and are a great way to while away the twilight hours.

The bars in Nana Plaza are expensive. A water costs the same as a beer! Bar fines are a high 700 baht. The bars are also crushingly noisy. Sometimes the ladyboys and the wait staff can be overly aggressive. It can be overwhelming for new visitors. But stick with it because it's ultimately rewarding. Below are some recent reviews of each of the bars available.

• 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 600 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 everyone's trip agenda. It has suffered from a bad reputation in the past but recently seems to be more customer friendly. The music here is not so noisy either, at least compared to the other bars in Nana Plaza. Many regulars have found their 'comfort zone' in this family style bar even if they aren't attracted to the type of ladyboys which are more commonly featured there.
  
  

• Charades Bar(Formerly Cascades): Third floor in Nana Plaza, towards the rear corner on the right-hand side. Orignally converted to a ladyboy bar in September 2003, this bizarrely designed and gaudy bar hosts well over 80 ladyboys. That's right, eighty beautiful ladyboys on any given night! Without a doubt this is one of the biggest ladyboy bar in the world and we highly recommend checking this place out. Bar fines are 700 baht with short time rooms a short walk away. Trippy decor and a bit loud but with so many ladyboys you may not care! Actually, it is so big that to see all the talent you have to do a bit of moving about. The waiters will hate you for it, but these aggressive scum bags aren't worth your spit anyway! Don't be told where to sit - have a good look around and pick somewhere spacious and comfortable, preferably away from the horrible disco but close to the air conditioner vents. Lots of new girls in this bar having just rolled into town from the farms. As with all the bars it's a good idea to check the IDs or have the hotel check them for you.
  
  

• Fairy Bar: Opening in 2015 this was touted as the largest ladyboy bar in Nana, which really means in the world. It is located on the second floor of Nana Plaza right near Temptations Bar and is a huge room. It appears to be somewhat larger than Charades while in a similar corner spot right below in Nana. Word is they could have as many as 120 ladyboys on staff on a busy night and from what we could see it was big enought to accomodate that. When we visited there was about 25-30 ladyboys on staff and it was not too busy at that time, but there was some real hotties. They did apparently steal much of the top talent from other bars so it is possible on the right night you could hit the ladyboy jackpot here. We did experience Fairy Bar reverting back to being a lady only bar for some reason, word is it is back to being ladyboys. Check this one out, if it is not there, try again another night they seem to have rotating signs.
  
  

• True Obsession Bar: First (ground) floor, Nana Plaza, rear right hand side. Probably the absolute epicenter of the ladyboy universe. This is a Nana Plaza institution and is the 2nd- longest ladyboy running bar right after Casanova. A 'must see' place. Every night over 70 girls come out on to the small stage and some are very very hot indeed. Lots of the girls in here are the petite kind, not the amazon's you will see in Casanova or the taller girls that work in Cascades. Actually, it's a very good mix of talent so there's something in there for everyone. It's very popular with the Japanese guys and when they walk through the door you'll be lucky to get even a furtive glance or surreptitious wink. But don't worry - they usually don't stick around too long so you'll still have a chance! As of April 2009 this is the very best bars in terms of talent. There are plenty of the regulars there who have been around for so (too?) long but there are also about 40 to 50 brand new young ladyboys who will absolutely take your breath away. (Get your hotel to check IDs if you are concerned with the age.)
  
  

• Temptations Bar: 2nd Floor, Nana Plaza, This bar opened in June of 2005. It's 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, this place has been said to be a bit too aggressive as far as the girls are concerned. But just recently the talent here has been getting better and the atmosphere seems to be more friendly. It's still extremely noisy, though and the girls hanging around outside the bar dragging you in can be a bit tiresome or stressful depending on your disposition! But all in all it's a good fourth option when you have burned your bridges everywhere else!
  
  

• DC-9 Bar: This is a long skinny go go bar and like it's name suggests, it is is decorated like the inside of an airplane. There is a skinny stage with poles and bench seats on either side, pretty much your classic hole in the wall Thai gogo bar. We found the talent here to be mediocre with may a dozen ladyboys on staff, there wasn't much to keep us here for long. Worth a drink just to check the talent, you never know where you might find that gem. Nothing to differentiate this bar but at least it gives another option.
  
  

• Check In Bar: You will find across from the Nana Plaza area on the east side of Sukhumvit at Soi 7. It is almost right at the bottom of the escalator from the Nana BTS train station. It is a little bit hard to find but if you walk down Soi 7 you will see it to your left in the very first little alley there. You can also get to the other back entrance by entering another small alley way a little further up Sukhumvit. This is a great bar and quite big, it has two pool tables one inside the air conditioned area and another in a more outside area, where people can smoke if they like. There is a large staff of ladyboys here of all kinds and also one of the largest server staff(The B-List Ladyboys) of any bar. So there is some ladyboys for all tastes here from beginners to experienced vetrans, you will find it all at this bar. This is a really comfortable place with medium pressure from the ladyboys, you can hang out drink beer, play pool and ogle ladyboys. Usually Check In Bar opens fairly early in the day but usually only the second stringers are on staff at that time, still it is probably the only place that early. You will find more ladyboys come to work after 7pm alhthough most come earlier to dress and eat. This is also one of the latest opening ladyboy bars you will find, with it's tucked away location it is isn't much bother to anyone. After Nana closes there is still a chance this one will be open.
  
  

• Chaos 9 Bar (By Guess): Just a little ways down Soi 4 past Nana Plaza and on the right hand side in the Rajah Hotel complex. There are about 15 ladyboys here and the atmosphere is more low key than the the higher tempo of the bars in neighboring Nana Plaza. Also, he prices are a lot cheaper and you won't get ripped off. (You MAY however be hustled on the pool table!) Great music and a laid back atmosphere make this a regular haunt and meeting place. It's also a great place to bring a date if you just want to relax and unwind for a while.
  

• Kings Castle 3 Bar 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 Bar King's Corner is also on Patpong Road. 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 Taxi 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; Thursdays through Saturday, 8PM till 1AM.
  
  

• Hollywood Disco, Soi 6 Ratchada
  Huge Disco, mostly genetic females in this place with the occasional 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. We have swapped out RCA for these 2 places since our last Tourism update as the 2 best places to find ladyboys in a non-go-go bar setting in Bangkok. You could also try Khao San road, the hippy backpacker haven; lots of freelancers walk around there or go dancing at The Club or Suzy Wong's or Lava; we're not sure why.
  
  

• Bali Seafood
  Huge restaurant on soi 6 Retched 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 2AM to 5AM and have fun.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

  Any traveler to Bangkok will know about Sukhumvit 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 now. If you are looking for ladyboys on Sukhumvit, start walking up and down 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.
  
  

  Outside Nana Plaza at 2AM is a gold mine for ladyboy 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 Sukhumvit 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.
  
  

Pattaya

They are everywhere! Everywhere you look in Pattaya there are ladyboys. Hundreds of the girly bars have at least one or two and there are many great bars that specialize in them. At the top of the page we said that Bangkok was the easiest place to meet ladyboys. That's true but for sheer numbers Pattaya is 'Ground Zero' when it comes to more bang for your buck! Once you have mastered the geography of this extremely naughty city then the world is your oyster and there's a pearl on every street corner. And not only are there P4P workers after your holiday bonus checks... there are the malls and small businesses, the massage parlors and markets.

So whether you want nice or nasty, tall or short, fat or slim, femboy or bolt on Barbarellas, then Pattaya is where to be. And add to that the prices then you'll be marching home with more money than you came with! Pattaya is also a lot less business minded too and a lot more fun than Bangkok.

So... where should you go? Well, you'll be tripping over them everywhere but here are a few places that we recommend...

• La Bamba Bar: Owned and operated for the last couple of years by Alis and her farang chum, this is easily the friendliest bar for ladyboy lovers. About 15 to 20 ladyboys are out on soi 13/1 every night flaunting their stuff and making you feel welcome. This bar came about a couple of years ago as a result of the bar across the street running into difficulty with their strange and charismatic owner Franck. Now it's a cheap and friendly place to meet like minded friends or look for some ladyboy company.
  

• Lita Bar: For you night owls and hard core LB admirers then take a walk down soi BJ off Walking Street and introduce yourself to Lita. This bar is still the only bar in Pattaya where the owner regularly buys the customers a drink. And it's open till day break every night so get plenty of rest during the day if you want to make it the whole night! Just watching the in and out journeys of the short time room users is worth the price of a drink!
  

• Obsessions Bar Pattaya: This Go Go complex underwent major refurbishment a few years ago and shares the same building owners as the colorful Penthouse Hotel on Soi 13/4). It markets itself as a high class establishment and even provides free Tequila to all new patrons. This bar houses some of the hottest ladyboys in Pattaya. It is also probably one of the more expensive ladyboy bars in Pattaya, however the interior is top notch with red leather seats and jacuzzis for starters.
  

• Pook Bar: Very friendly bar on soi 6 is opened from lunchtime and all day. The downstairs is for the ladyboys and upstairs features the regular girlies... (yearckkkk!) Good daytime meeting place and well priced drinks. Watch the ladyboys eat and get their war paint on in real natural light and sober... Yikes! Another bar which takes customer service a bit more seriously and well worth an afternoon of drinking and ogling! It's also a great place to perch if you want to get a good view of the crazy antics of the Hi Boss freaks as they antagonize the poor tourists walking up and down soi 6! (**Note Pook Swan Bar on Soi Buakhao is now closed as of 2015)
  

• Baby Boom: This gogo bar off Soi Buakhao is in the style of your basic Thai ladyboy pole dancing club. It is smaller but has many stunning and hung ladyboys on staff. In 2015 they did move to a new location so if you have been there before it is worth checking out again. This place is another that is quite friendly and well entrenched in the ladyboy community.
  
  

• Kings Bar: This bar on Soi 8 is seems fairly small at first glance, but is it several stories with guest rooms above. The bar is locatd in the middle of Soi 8 right in the middle of lots of action, reaasonbly priced hotels, beer and food. It is quite laid back in here with a front porch and then several leather couches and a bar. On staff you will find as many as 20 ladyboys on any given night. Some are freelancers that may rotate in and out, and the odd post-op mixed in. There is a pool table on the second floor and many seats at the bar so you can just hang out and generally the ladyboys are very low pressure but usually quite hot.
  

• Ring the Bell Bar; Part way down walking street you will see this bar on the north side. It seems to be primarily staffed with ladyboys, but there is some girls the too. The girls would probably be suspect as post-op with all the ladyboys there. Not the most comfortable looking place but maybe good for a beer. Not clear if the ladyboy quality exceeds Linda Bar on not.
  

• Linda Bar; Walking street in Pattaya, about half way down on the south side. It's Halloween every night here! 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 other bars or the freelancers or just stay in your room and jerk off!
  

• Sensations Bar; Just off Soi Buakhao, on Soi 21, this bar has just moved to this new location with brand new guest rooms above in late 2015. They previously had an outdoor beer bar on Action Street for many years prior to this. Here you will find brand new bar with everything inside new except the ladyboys, however you may see some new faces. Long known employ some of the hottest ladyboys in Pattaya this bar continues the tradition in their new digs.
  

• 69 Bar;This one is newer to the world of ladyboys and, it is located in the the beer bar complex on 2nd Beach Road nearly across from the Central Festival shopping mall and Hilton Hotel. If you have never been to this complex it seems to be belting out music through the entire night, every night. This be we have heard is primarily staffed with Ladyboys these days.
  

• Sally's Beer Bar; Run by a ladyboy and her British husband, this beer bar on soi 4 in Jomtien has between 7 and 10 ladyboys and 5 or 6 ladies working in there on a regular basis. Nice place, the owners play good music, and they have a friendly attitude. Good place to meet ladyboys to play pool with. The talent recently is a bit slow as the money makers stay in Pattaya, but it's still worth the 10 baht bus ride to Jomtiem for a cheap beer by the sea breeze in the afternoon.
  

• TJs Music Bar Naklua This is a little ways away from Pattaya in Naklua. This is a laid back bar with entertainment and pool tables in and is not your typical ladyboy pick up bar. There is about 6 ladyboys on staff every night as well as many ladies too. You can take the ladyboys we are just not sure how it works here. Most this is just a cool hangout that happens to have lots of ladyboys working at it. You can find it by heading up 2nd Beach road to the Dolphin round about and continue straight down Naklua Road then turn left on Soi 18.
  

• Hema Cabaret; A very friendly and surprisingly good quality FREE show happens thrice nightly here. It's on the corner of second road and soi 8. Extremely good value too. The beers are insanely cheap and the hostesses are great fun. It's a bit hot and humid but if you can weather the weather then plonk your butt down on a bar stool and enjoy the fantastic costumes and routines of an above average show.
  
  Other Places to meet Ladyboys in Pattaya;
  
  

• Beach road; Anytime after 10PM will guarantee you the chance to meet ladyboys. And you'll probably be pickpocketed also and generally feel pretty nasty about the place. We would not vouch for the quality of these girls, and remember it is pretty dark down there. But if you are desperately short of cash, blind and desperate then Beach Road is for you! It has also been known to be dangerous down here and the police make frequent sweeps now. Our advice; find somewhere else in Pattaya to meet ladyboys.
  

• Sunee Plaza; It's behind the VC hotel on Pattaya 2; Pretty much hit and miss really. This is a famous gay area and most of these bars are for gay boys, but some of the bars in here have some cute femboys working in them also. These fresh-in-from-the-country types are just being broken in at Pattaya and starting work here. Check ID cards on these little minxes to avoid problems. Kaos has young and cute ladyboys in transition but that place is always in flux. It's extremely expensive in the Go Go bars so my advice is to just pop your head around the corner first before you make the decision to stay inside. One good thing about all the bars here is that you won't get hassled by pushy wait staff or aggressive workers once you are inside and sat down. But at the end of the day there is nothing guaranteed about Sunee Plaza. You may get lucky and meet a gem every night or you may go for a week and strike out.
  
  

  
  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 cutie's.
  
  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!
  
  
  Phuket

  Phuket (or Shemale Island) is another option for serious ladyboy lovers. If the city of Bangkok is too busy and smoggy or you want beaches that Pattaya can't offer then there is Phuket. And of course the biggest and best ladyboy bar in town is:
  Cocktails & Dreams. AsianTS.com has featured this bar and many of the models who work here over the years. It is just off Bangla Road near the north end, they often have ladyboys working right out on Bangla to draw in customers for their nightly show. Your host Jimbo will welcome you with open arms (for the price of a beer!) and introduce you to some of the finest Asian ladyboys on the planet. And if that's not enough he'll even show you around the rest of the island where there is a lot more talent around. We have mentioned just a few of the places to go in Phuket and if you can think of more then please let us know to update this section....

  
  Patong Beach
  

  Soi Bangla; The hub of all the action on the island of Phuket and the place you want to be in this wonderful island. Begin on Soi Bangla, which is the main strip that divides this beach resort down the center. There are always freelancers on this street between about 9PM and 2AM and you don't even have to look... they will find you!
  
  

  Before 2014 on the left-hand side coming up from the beach road was a large cluster of bars called the Soi Andaman Queen. This place was also called Soi Kathoey and Soi Crocodile. Everyone knew where it was as it was all one big carnival of ladyboys. Unfortunately like all good things it came to an end. The entire street was bulldozed after it was all purchased by one company. The area has still not been redeveloped but hopefully will have many ladyboys again when it is done. Fortunately Cocktails and Dreams bar is just up the road.
  
  

  Tootsie's Corner Bar and Ladyboy Massage Parlour
  Tootsies corner is a very small beer bar which is located across the street from Tootsie's Ladyboy Massage. The massage is open 11:00am to 12:00am and the beer bar usually closing before that. Usually there is 2 or 3 ladyboys at the bar and 7 or 8 at the massage studio, but they may rotate. Tootsie's corner is a little satellite bar location out on the main street where you can have a drink and decide if you would like to take a ladyboy for a "massage". We recommend Tootsie's for a great daytime hangout, especially if are not a beach person. It is located a little further from the action down Rat-U-Thit Road but there is lots of signs and you can't miss it.

  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 disco 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 work 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-op's. 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. Not too much action down here after 2014 as the beaches have been cleaned up by authorities.
  

  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 hundreds of 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 all the updates we have devoted to this lovely island paradise inside the website. AsianTS fully endorses any trip you may be considering in taking to Phuket, it is a great place!
  
  

  Other places in Thailand
  

  Chiang Mai
  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:
  

  Simon Cabaret This is the place where we found Dina, Ponlien, Gau and Yoh and so many other beauties that we have here. 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.
  

  Other Places There was also a small cabaret downtown that we found, near the water fountains and kitty corner with the last fountain in the long row that separates the main drag of the city. We found Note and Cee in this cabaret, which doubles as a boxing ring the other half of the time. Not a very nice place but you may get lucky and meet one or 2 cuties here; we also met Ae and Nan here.
  

  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 campuses around Thailand, the one at CM has many future shemales going to school there.
  

  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.
  
  

  Koh Samui
  

  This is a place that we had an extensive visit to several years ago 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 Christy's 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 usually stay open until 3AM.
  

  You CAN meet ladyboys in Koh 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.
  
  

  Koh Chang
  

  This is the largest island in the Gulf of Thailand and a National Park, which means it is not as developed for tourists as other islands. Koh Chang is a great place for a quiet and romantic getaway, but you can still find ladyboys here. You can also party and have a good time but it is much quieter for nightlife than what you may be used to in busier tourist locations. There is a handful of ladyboys that call Koh Chang home and they mainly can be found in the main village called White Sand Beach. There is a complex of beer bars in the south part of the village called "Little Pattaya" where you can find about 12 bars, it is right across from the Chang Buri resort. Often Little Pattaya will stay open later than any other bars, as most of rest of the island shuts down around midnight. It seems many of the bars in here have one ladyboy on staff or on call and the one bar in the back has a ladyboy bartender full time. The bar with the ladyboy bartender is just in the back corner behind Pearler Bar but cannot quite remember the name. We also spoke to a ladyboy working at Pearler bar a couple nights we were there who said this was her full time job.
  Also there is a fairly large disco in White Sand Beach and if you hang around here you will find a number of ladyboys come her to drink and dance with their friends. Plus, as most places in Thailand, you will see ladyboys at most events and working at various business in Koh Chang.
