Safety Tips For Ladyboy Lovers: Crime, HIV/Aids etc.
Unless you fancy an HIV-test back home, it should be self-evident to use a condom when having sex with a Pattaya ladyboy - especially when engaging in anal sex or two-way blow jobs. Even if the risk of an HIV infection may not be as high as reported in the foreign media (unfortunately no official figures are available for Pattaya specifically), unfortunately, sexually transmitted diseases are pretty common in Pattaya.
It need not be Aids or Hepatitis, a nasty genital fungal infection, Gonorrhoea or a painful Herpes, can be easily transmitted (e.g. Gonorrhoea can be transmitted through oral sex, too!), and would definitely spoil your "sex holidays" for at least one week.
If you read the local Pattaya newspapers frequently, you have probably come across crime news headlines such as the following ... "Tourist robbed by gang of ladyboys on Pattaya Beach Road", "Ladyboy snatches bag off foreign tourist", "Drunken tourist beaten up by ladyboy" etc.
Pattaya katoeys are involved in hundreds of crime stories ever year, with most crimes happening along the ladyboy freelance-areas on Pattaya beach road, usually well past midnight. Others get robbed during their sleep after a short-time session with a ladyboy from Pattaya Beach Road and wake up to find their wallets emptied, their mobile phones, gold necklaces etc. gone.
What's the reason for this high rate of criminals among ladyboys? Buddha knows. Probably their hormone treatments have an irritating effect on their generally pleasant personalities and support extremely pushy to aggressive behaviour. Also, as sexy and feminine as they may appear, don't forget that it's still a man's brain in their beautiful heads - and men's muscles in their arms! -, no matter how "girlie" they may feel or look.
Another reason may be their chronical shortage of money. Most katoeys in Pattaya probably still find it hard to find a regular employment in a bar - with the vast majority of night spots catering to 100% straight visitors, while gay tourists in gay areas are apparently looking for "real" boys.
Ladyboy prostitution is a grey zone somehow. Whereas some ladyboy stunners may be real big cash earners (with regular 'donations' from a handful of foreign boyfriends abroad), the majority of ladyboys is ever-struggling for money to pay for either drug consumption, sexy dresses, lipsticks and cosmetics or, last but not least, a new pair of boobs or a vagina.
There are no safety tips specific to Pattaya's ladyboys - same rules apply as when dealing with "ordinary bar girls". Treat them correctly, pay what you have to pay, take care of your belongings and restrict yourself to a short-time session, when picking up ladyboy prostitutes on Beach road or similar non-bar fine protected areas. As most Pattaya ladyboys work as freelance prostitutes, your chances of finding the same ladyboy again are naturally very low.
As anywhere else in Pattaya, chances you end up in problems are highest when you have had a few drinks too much and lost control of the situation, say, you fall asleep after (or during) sex - in which case you shouldn't be surprised if you wake up without your mobile phone, wallet or digital camera.
Last but not least: Avoid violent confrontations with ladyboys. As feminine as they may appear, physically katoeys are still boys who know not only how to "defend" themselves but also how to attack effectively - possibly with the help of some high heels knocked over your head.
As other disadvantaged groups, ladyboys are fairly well organized and hang out in groups - so if you end up in trouble with one ladyboy, you should always be prepared for a whole bunch of big katoeys waiting just around the corner, ready to help their "sister".
Finally, not all ladyboys you come across in Pattaya are prostitutes. So if you're not sure, treat them with the given respect before insulting him/her.
Take care & good luck, sexy man!

Pattaya Ladyboy Bars, Areas & Meeting Points
Alcazar & Tiffany Cabaret
These are neither GoGo bars nor ladyboy pick-up joints, but if you fancy professional Las Vegas-
style transvestite cabaret shows, performed by female impersonation artists, then you should not miss these two famous places.
Tiffany's and Alcazar have been in business for more than two decades and are renowned across the world for their fantastic, professional ladyboy shows and performances.
Both theatres are located on Pattaya Second Road - not far from the 'Central Festival Center' and Big C. They feature state-of-the-art light and sound technologies and have capacity for over 1,000 visitors each. Regular televised beauty pageants such as the "Miss International Queen" contest are additional attractions for visitors.
The entry fee for both cabaret shows is around 500 Baht, with shows starting at about 18h every evening. For more infos and online reservation, please visit their websites www.tiffany-show.co.th (English) or www.alcazarpattaya.com (only Thai).
Walking Street
From the late evening till early morning hours, Pattaya's world-famous Walking Street is arguably the best place to meet ladyboys in Pattaya. Some of the younger "chicks with dicks", who teeter up and down Walking Street on their high heels, may be absolute stunners and, at least from the distance, look like the most gorgeous "girls" you've ever come cross in your life. Others just look like aged Asian drag queens.
Most ladyboys work as freelance hookers and chat tourists up at the the roadside or hang about at Pattaya's most favourite ladyboy meeting points.
Jenny Star Bar, a long and loud oval-shaped bar just below Marine Disco in the centre of Walking Street (on the right-hand side when coming from Pattaya Beach Road) has become an institution in Pattaya and is probably the best place to meet sexy she-males - though not the best place for a quiet chat. During the early morning hours, ladyboys come and go here, some extremely hot. If you want to pick up a horny she-male for a sexual experience of a more adventurous kind, or just indulge in the atmosphere of Pattaya's most famous ladyboy pick-up joint, then Jenny's Star Bar is the place to go. Linda Bar - about 50 meters up from Jenny Star Bar and on the same side - is an equally old institution which, on the downside, also shows on the quality of the "girls".
Most ladyboys you will meet here are not regularly employed (so generally no "bar fines" to take one out of the bar) but just come in for a drink and then walk up and down Walking Street again, most in the area in front of Marine Disco. Many rent rooms in nearby apartments that they might offer to use for a short-time session.
If you're still too shy to enter ladyboy bars immediately, just walk around the area for a while or have a drink in one of the nearby straight bars (Lucky Star bar or those below Marine Disco) and watch Pattaya's ladyboy scene from a 'safe' distance. Eventually you get chatted up anyway by a "girl" with big boobs and a suspiciously dark voice ...
Ezy Bar on Soi BJ (off Walking Street), opened in June 2008, is a new ladyboy bar in this area.
Soi 6/ Soi Yodsak
Soi 6 (aka Soi Yodsak) is a sidestreet between Pattaya Beach Road and Second Road (in North Pattaya), lined by 50 or so "short-time bars". Most Soi 6 bars get going at around 13h and close at 1h. Most venues here cater to 100%-straight customers; however, more and more venues also employ katoeys. While many bars feature a (for Pattaya newbies often opaque) mix of "real" girls and "women of the second category", some bars are 100% dedicated to "chicks with dicks".
As the name says, short-time bars provide short-time sexual services, usually for up to one hour. Typical short-time bars are indoor bars with dark glass fronts, often tell-tale names, and always a handful of ladies in sexy dresses hanging about outside, trying to drag customers in.
While the "regular" bar business takes place on the ground floor - including many girls to choose from, the upper floors provide basic guest rooms (shower and toilet often not in the rooms), where you can enjoy yourself discretely in the company of the lady(boy) of your choice.
In that respect, short-time bars can be compared with intimate small brothels, and ladies working here also seem to be less shy and more "tame to the hand" than girls in 'regular' beer bars. Most girls won't mind either if you "paw" them in the usually dark-lit bars, and some might even provide you with a hand- or blow-job in one of the discrete sofa corners which are typical for the interior of short-time bars in Pattaya.
Bar fines in short-time bars are usually around 300 Baht and typically include the room rental fee for up to one hour. Most short-time girls should be satisfied anything between 500 and 1000 Baht for sexual services, but 700 seems to be the norm.
The following two places are among Pattaya's most popular ladyboy bars.
Hi Boss Bar, roughly in the centre of Soi 6, is a lounge-type set up with couches, a dancing pole and hi-backed chairs situated around a long bar. As most places on Soi 6, Hi Boss Bar opens at around 2pm early afternoon and closes at 1am, after which time the ladyboys usually hang about outside their venue or walk up and down Pattaya beach road in front of Soi 6.
Pook Ladyboys AGoGo on Soi 6 is (so far) Pattaya's only GoGo bar strictly dedicated to chrome pole-dancing ladyboys. Pook's is a big open bar with dancing stages on the first floor, open from 13h to 2am. Upon entering Pook AGoGo, a ladyboy-crazy English mate of mine called out: "This must be the best bar in Pattaya!" Could be - provided you're into ladyboys?
Visit their website for more details, and to view their photo galleries of supersexy Thai ladyboys.
Pattaya Beach Road
Pattaya Beach Road promenade at night, especially in the areas of Soi Yamato, Soi Post Office and Pattayaland, is a popular meeting point for Pattaya beach hookers and local ladyboys. They usually hang around in little groups and twitter unambigious pick-up lines to chat passers-by up. Apart from Walking Street and Soi 6, this is your safest bet on where to meet Pattaya ladyboys. Many guesthouses in the area (Soi Yamato) provide cheap short-time rooms for a quick session of ladyboy sex.
On the downside, South Pattaya's dimly-lit Beach Road promenade is also the area where most katoey-related crimes are reported: bag snatch cases, robberies, fights with aggressive ladyboys etc. At least once a week, a local newspaper will feature a story on a (usually drunk) tourist, who got robbed, attacked, or otherwise assaulted, by a bunch of ladyboys, beach hookers or teenage gangs on Pattaya's dimly-lit beach promenade. While touting for sexual services in public places is against Thai law (and authorities are well aware of the situation) police raids usually just result in charging the culprits a few hundred Baht.
Therefore, be advised to be careful when strolling along Pattaya Beach Road in the early morning hours - especially after you've had a few drinks - and keep an eye on these beach hookers' long-fingered hands to make sure that one isn't grabbing for your wallet, gold necklace etc., while the other one is rubbing your dick.
When a situation gets out of control (say, if you've turnt down an unambiguous offer and offended a ladyboy's pride), it's safer to leave the area quickly. Do not get into trouble and possibly end up confronted with a bunch of violent katoeys - possibly under the influence of yaba - beating you up with their fists and high heels.
Obviously you will not be required to pay a "bar fine" when picking up a freelance ladyboy hooker on Beach Road. Prices for sexual services, however, don't vary significantly from what you would have to pay for 'regular' bar girls: 500 Baht or so for a short-time session of an hour or so, and up to 1000 Baht for "long time" (all night).
BUT please note: When you pick up freelance prostitutes of whatever sex and take them back to your room, you might well save a couple of 100-Baht notes on 'bar fines'. If you end up in trouble, however (say, you get robbed of your money, passport, mobile phone, or other belongings during your sleep, possibly after having been drugged), your chance to find the same lady(boy) again on the streets of Pattaya is nearly as low as zero.
Other Ladyboy Venues & Locations
A couple of bars and A-GoGo's on Soi Sunee Plaza, one of Pattaya's notorious gay areas, which frequently makes the headlines with underage boys, also employ ladyboys, some very young, so please check their ID cards before taking these fresh-from-the-village LB's back to your room.
Pook Swan House on Soi Buakhao, operated by the same owners as Pook Ladyboy A-GoGo on Soi 6, has been converted into a ladyboy bar with dancing poles on both sides of the outside bar. Lots of ladyboys (90%) plus a few girls. Room rental available in the guesthouse upstairs.
La Bamba Bar and Stringfellows AGogo on Soi 13/1 (aka Soi Yamato, north of the Royal Garden Plaza shopping mall) are two popular ladyboy bars in an otherwise "straight area".
Pattaya Obesessions on Pattayaland Soi 2 (next to the Penthouse Hotel) is a ladyboy nightclub and GoGo bar featuring sexy Thai she-male dancers and professional ladyboy shows.
A growing number of ladyboys has recently been spotted on the beach promenade along Jomtien Beach Road, mostly in the areas in front of Soi White House, Soi 5 or Soi 7, from late evening till the early morning hours. As with ladyboys on Pattaya Beach Road, though, there's no guarantee for your safety, even when you're just chatting.
Sally's Bar on Jomtien Soi 5 (aka Soi Post office), a shophouse bar owned by a Thai katoey and her Briitish husband, employs a mix of ladyboys and "real" girls.
Alcazar & Tiffany Cabaret

How To Spot A Ladyboy As Pattaya Newbie?
Whereas most Pattaya residents and 'old hands' have developed an ability to recognize ladyboys even from the distance, Pattaya 'newbies' are often at risk of making surprising and undesired (?) sexual encounters.
In fact, there are quite a few guys, who thought they had picked up the most gorgeous Thai lady, just to find out that their "chick" had a dick. So if you should be a first-time visitor, blinded by the omnipresent sight of female (or not so female) beauty in Pattaya, here are a few basic guidelines on how to spot a ladyboy and tell a kathoey from a "regular" Pattaya bar girl.
Thai ladyboys are probably the most attractive "women" you will come across in Thailand. Tall as supermodels and with perfectly-shaped tits, they're often more beautiful than the "real thing". What most ladyboys have in common, though, is an unusually girlish behaviour and exaggarated sexy walk. Whereas some Pattaya bar girls walk like real yokels, most katoeys overdo the sexy walk on their high heels and walk like divas on a cat walk or a red carpet. Their often slutty dress style (short skirts, high heels, lots of lipstick and make up etc.) is another hint at a ladyboy.
In addition, while most girls in Pattaya (including those who have entered the flesh trade and "sell pussy") are usually shy and reserved when it comes to making contacts with strangers, a typical Thai ladyboy is anything but shy.
In fact, Pattaya ladyboys - especially those who work as hookers - are extremely straight-forward and often pushy when it comes to chatting with strangers on the street and making unambiguous sexual advances. To give an example, if you're walking along Pattaya Beach Road in the evening or early morning hours and suddenly face a sluttily dressed and tall 'creature' with massive boobs and on high heels, who instantly offers you a blow-job, possibly right on the beach, then chances you are facing a ladyboy are 99% - no matter how sexy and feminine this beachfront beauty may look. (Most ladyboys also have a reputation for being more open-minded when it comes to rather "unusual" sex practices - blow jobs in public places, threesomes, two-way oral or anal sex, dildo play etc.)
Except from being taller, more "girlish" and less shy, ladyboys can easily be recognized by their unusually deep masculine voive, the large size of their feet and hands, shoulders wider than their hips and, in many cases, an Adam's Apple - although nowadays an Adam's Apple can be easily removed by cosmetic surgery, too. To sum up how to spot a Thai ladyboy:
- generally attractive and sexy; slutty dress
- tall, big (silicon) boobs, little arse
- girlish behaviour, exaggerated sexy walk
- dark masculine voice
- less shy with sometimes "pushy" behaviour
- wide shoulders, big feet and hands, Adams's Apple

Pattaya Ladyboy Scene: Katoeys & She-Males In Pattaya
Introduction: Ladyboys In Pattaya What Is A Ladyboy Or Katoey? How To Spot A Ladyboy? Ladyboy Bars & Meeting Points VDO: Sexy Pattaya Ladyboys Safety Tips For Ladyboy Lovers
Thai Ladyboys In Pattaya
As with all sexual preferences, Thai ladyboys aren't everyone's cup of tea. Whereas some guys swear they've had the hottest sex ever in Pattaya with a ladyboy, others might have been robbed by a gang of katoeys on Beach Road, or simply despise them as a matter of principle.
Ladyboys (or katoeys as the local she-males and transvestites are called in Thai) are a common feature of everyday life all over Thailand. Due to the tolerant nature of Buddhist culture, ladyboys, as well as people with a bisexual orientation, are more visible and more accepted in Thai culture than transvestites or transsexuals in most Western countries.
While the katoey phenomenon isn't restricted to urban areas and you can come across ladyboys in every small village of Isaan, tourist places like Pattaya or Bangkok - worldwide famous for their "naughty" nightlife - attract a large number of Thailand's unique "women of the second category". On this page, we'll tell you all you need to know about Pattaya's notorious ladyboys (LB's).

What Is A Katoey? Transvestites, "Chicks With Dicks" & She-Males
So what exactly is a katoey or ladyboy and, most importantly, how can you tell a ladyboy from a "real" girl? Sometimes not so easy for Pattaya newbies ...
First of all, there are three types of ladyboys representing different stages of "gender change": (1) transvestites, (2) "she-males" (transsexual "chicks with dicks"), and (3) "post-OP ladyboys" who have undergone full sex reassignment and have a "hand-made" pussy instead of a penis.
(1) The first type are transvestites, i.e. physically normally developed men, who simply dress and make up as women. While even those ladyboys - most of whom undergo a hormone replacement therapy, but cannot afford to pay for a costly breast implantation or complete sex reassignment - may look extremely attractive in their fancy dresses and evening gowns, they are still 100% men physically (with very small or no boobs at all).
The other two categories of Thai ladyboys have (partly) undergone plastic surgery and represent different stages of sex reassignment.
(2) Probably the most common type of a Thai ladyboy is best described as "she-male". That's a katoey, who has had his secondary sex characteristics modified and, thanks to plastic surgery, often has unusually big and perfectly-shaped breasts (while most Asian girls have small titties). Whereas big boobs probably turn most normal men on, please remember that these seemingly perfect "women" still have a little (or not so little?!) penis swinging between their thighs. In other words - chicks with dicks. These cross-gender creatures, combining the physical attractions of both sexes, provide the typical katoey experience most ladyboy lovers seem to be looking for.
(3) A third categoty of ladyboys are such katoeys, who have undergone a full sex reassignment and had their primary sex characteristics altered as well. Having had their penisses transformed into pussies, ladyboys on this stage of sex change are physically complete women - except for the fact that they were born as men. Also referred to as "Post OP ladyboys".
Thailand has gained a reputation for medical tourism and cheap yet quality plastic surgery or sex reassignment. For Thai standards, however, a complete sex change is still extremely expensive, so most ladyboys in Pattaya are either just transvestites (men dressed and made-up as girls), or transsexuals, who have had breasts created by plastic surgery. For most Pattaya ladyboys, the final step is simply too expensive. Those who could afford it, might not feel the financial urge any longer to prostitute themseves.
Tip: If you want to check whether a ladyboy's tits are "real" or if the bra has just been stuffed with textiles, don't be shy and grab for them! "Chicks with dicks" are the least shy ladyboys species; proud of their boobs, they're usually happy to let you touch their boobies and even show them to you before making your choice.
Most ladyboys will be honest and let you know whether they still have a penis or not - which, by the way, can be hidden away quite easily, so that "chicks with dicks" can wear sexy tight skirts and jeans without revealing their sexual identity. If so, they should readily offer you a blow job or a session "up the ass". However, those who have undergone a full sex change, might still be too shy to display their pussy and may rather go for oral and anal satisfaction as well.

Thai ladyboys are famous for their sexy looks and their potential to offer you a sexual experience of a "different" and slightly sleazier kind. Born as true men, some say, katoeys know best how to satisfy a man using all parts (and holes!) of their bodies. Because of their sexual condition, many ladyboys are said to be ready for sexual experiments that a standard bar girl may find disgusting - juicy blow jobs, anal sex, dildo play, and other less ordinary sex practices. Many ladyboys also have massive (silicon) tits - a sexual stimulus most ordinarily-equipped Thai girls can't offer.
Just like many Thai women enter prostitution in Pattaya, many Thai ladyboys work as freelance prostitutes on Pattaya Beach Road or Walking Street. Others have "regular" jobs in beer bars or AGoGo bars where they often mix with "real" girls, sometimes making it difficult to decide if that half-naked, big-busted hottie is Pattaya's latest candidate for the "Miss Thailand" beauty contest or just a convincingly made-up "bloke with boobs"?
Those ladyboys who don't work as prostitutes (often to re-pay costly sex reassignments) usually work in traditionally feminine occupations such as hairstylists in beauty salons, shop vendors or waitresses - whereas more talented katoeys may seek a job as show dancer in one of Pattaya's world-famous transvestite cabaret theatres - Alcazar and Tiffany. (Of course, many still freelance as 'part-time hookers' in Pattaya's notorious discotheques or ladyboy meeting points on Walking Street to earn a few extra Baht on the nightshift.)
This means, you could bump into a ladyboy in the next best 7-eleven store, as well as as come across a stunning Pattaya bar "girl" with a suspiciously dark voice and an Adam's Apple, in any bar or nightclub in town.
On top of that, there are special entertainment and nightlife areas (Soi 6/Yodsak, Walking Street and Pattaya Beach Road after sunset), where - although not specifically designated to katoeys - ladyboys can be found in abundance.
However, depending on your sexual flavour, it is important to know that not all Thai ladyboys are equally equipped physically. So before you take the next best kathoey back to your room, there are a few details you should know ...
