I'll be going to thailand next month for 2 weeks. plan on hitting the the following cities: bangkok, chiang mai, phuket, and kho phangan. now obviously thailand is the ladyboy capital of the world but i was wondering if you guys had any advice on where to meet the best quality girls? i know there are ladyboy bars and massage parlors where you can bring girls back, is this the best option? ive also seen websites that have outcall service. and of course, you have the girls that are on the streets. also, what is the going rate? i've read an hour for 1000 baht (~$30) but that info might be a little dated.

also, ill prob staying in hostels (prob ones with private rooms) while i am there so will it be difficult to bring girls back to a hostel? should i just opt for regular hotels instead? are there places that offer incall service. how does it work at the massage parlors/bars? do you just get down in a back room or something or do you take the girl back to your place? also, has anybody ever taken a girl back for a few hours? ive heard 4-6 hours or even over night is pretty cheap so im thinking of possibly doing that. do the girls there typically take viagara so they can keep goin? would viagara be easy for me to find for myself so i can keep going :salad


sorry for the million questions but im just really excited about going to thailand and trying to find some solid advice! thanks!

Hi,

I recently travelled Thailand for three weeks, and loved it (the added bonus is that I'm also crazy for ladyboys lol)

So, i landed in Bangkok, and stayed at a hotel near Nana Plaza, i saw the sights during the day, and then went to the Plaza at night. Its brilliant, daunting to go into at first, but it has many ladyboy strip clubs. I went to these when i was there, and they were brilliant, they have private rooms within the complex that you can use. One word of advice, fight the ladyboys off and order a drink in the corner while you relax, cos that way you can pick the hottest one.

I had sex in Bangkok with ladyboys both paid and unpaid, on the island of Koh Tao, and also with a hot ladyboy/tv in Pai.

Enjoy the country, its the nicest place, with the nicest people. The ladyboys are an extra delight

You should really ask this question in the Ladyboy-ladyboy.com forum or join the ladyboy-ladyboy.com site it has load of info inside, that is where you'll get the best advice.

Try this site below. There is a lot of beginner guide like hotel, bar, flight, even girls rate...etc. Quite a few of the members on that forum actually live and own businesses there in Thailand. If you ask nicely, they're more than happy to show you around when you landed. Good luck and please do a trip report to let us know when you get back! Cheers. http://www.ladyboyspattaya.com/

sorry for the million questions but im just really excited about going to thailand and trying to find some solid advice! thanks!

here is my advice:

there is a forum that specifically caters to expats and people travelling to thailand. find it. read it. what i personally consider "things to do" and "places to see" in bangkok might not be to your liking. as an example: i've never been with a ladyboy. so my experiences were strictly designated to natal females in bangkok (virtual fist bump)

when you read the experiences of other people, you will find someone that matches what you like, not to mention get better ideas of how to make your own experience better.

that said: the peninsula bangkok is a great place to stay. check it out

My friend, you are wasting your time in here. You see 99% of the people in here never been with a shemale before. The closest they got to a shemale is rubbing one while watching shemale porn in their parents basement.

Don't waste your time trying to get info about shemales from these bunch of LOSERS.... Or discuss politics with them. They are all high on Obama kool aid.

I can't offer you pointers to help you with your sex vacation but I will suggest you DO NOT go to Bangkok wide-eyed and naive about Thai people, culture, or their motivations. Keep you eyes and ears open at all times. Be extremely wary of tuk tuk and taxi drivers. English is surprisingly scarce but that may vary based on where in Bangkok you stay. I'd heard about the famous Thai hospitality and friendliness, etc but I personally didn't experience that in Bangkok. I saw a lot of angry, stressed people who generally seemed to dislike tourists but apparently it's different outside Bangkok. I stayed at The Berkeley located in Pratunam (about USD 60/night) - it's busy, lots of shopping, and close to trains, and the water taxis and the hotel is beautiful. Also stayed at the Novotel (about USD 100/night) in Ploenchit which is more upscale but surrounded by embassies and high-end malls and office buildings BUT really close to Soi Cowboy which is supposed popular for what you're looking for.

Have fun and stay safe!

1. I first visited Thailand in the very late 1990s, and about all the information that was on the web at the time was on the Ladyboy-Ladyboy site and forum. My belated thanks for that info.

2. Presently there is at least 100 times more info on the internet. I would second the recommendation for the http://www.ladyboyspattaya.com/ forum.

3. Depending if you are going to Thailand primarily for "touring the country" or for the "Ladyboys", I consider cutting down the number of cities I was planning to visit to only a couple. If you are touring for cultural reasons then I'd add a 2-3 day side trip to Ankor Wat in Cambodia (can not stress enough how well worth the time and effort this side trip is). I know you may think this is a once in a lifetime trip, but most of us regular visitors to the LOS got hooked after only one visit (a little like doing crack I suppose).

4. If you are primarily going for the Ladyboys, then I'd just visit Pattaya and then book some side trips to some of the cultural sites during the days (such as sites in Bangkok or the River Kwai Bridge/Railway).

5. Brush up on the political situation in Thailand (at present a good amount of political instability) and I would even consider skipping Bangkok for this reason (other than for flying into the airport). I don't think the Thais would intentionally go looking to hurt foreigners, but large volatile crowds always make me leery.

6. Have Fun.

I was literally there few days ago.

If you want to see ladyboys and don't mind paying, your best bet is actually Pattaya, not Bangkok.

Make sure you add Pattaya on your trip.

I was in Pattaya, sitting in one of the bar/coffee shop and was approached by a cute professional rent boy who offered his service for free. I was honored but I politely declined, since I was there NOT looking for sex, just simply chilling and relaxing.

enjoy and let us know

Tia

p.s: Thai people truly are nice, but since you are seen as a tourist and prone to dealing with escorts, I agree with the advice of others: watch your wallet and passport.

I don't have any problem since they see me as part local (my father is Thai)

Ha..I left Pattaya on the 9th... I would have shit a golden durian if I saw you sitting at a bar there.....

Anyway....yes...read the ladyboy forums. Do your research and homework..
Pattaya has great variety of ladyboys but bangkok, specifically Nana Plaza has many superstars...the ones you see on the pay porno sites.

All prices are negotiable but expect to pay a barfine of 500-600Baht and then anywhere from 1500-2500 short time or 2000-3000 long time. Really depends if she likes you and how busy it is.

In Nana I like Cascades , Obsession , and Temptation bars.

If you decide to stay in Bangkok for a few days , stay near Nana...lots of hotels close by anywhere from $40 and up a night. Nana Hotel is a dump. Decent hotels for US$50-60 a night : Dynasty Grande, Majestic Grande ,if you don't care about a swimming pool try Heaven@4 hotel small but nice about $40, all ladyboy or girl friendly.

I always liked Pattaya better than Bangkok (it was likely an illusion, but the girls seemed a lot friendlier in Pattaya).

Plus, at least for me Bangkok during the day was quite boring. After getting a suit made and seeing the Royal Palace there didn't seem a lot to do in the daytime (just another crowded big city, the smog even reminded me of L.A.).

At least in Pattaya, one can sit around the pool during the daytime and work on one's tan.

lol. I like durian so i may eat it hahaha.

I was in Bangkok too, and stayed near Nana. I stayed in a pretty pricey boutique hotel for 2500 bath a night, i forget its name.
It's written in the lobby "no ladyboys allowed". seriously. .They obviously had no clue that I was one of them :)
It required a key card to access the elevator. So i will not recommend this hotel.

No Sex in Bangkok either. I was a virgin in Thailand...believe it or not.
I did lots of shopping though:dancing:

Btw, it's almost 4 am in Toronto, and i'm awake due to jetlag.

I left Thailand on March 12

BKK still a lot of tension in the city, probably best just to jump in a taxi at Suwarnaphumi and head to Pattaya, if u want a better beach and peace during the day stay in Naklua north Pattaya and jump on a baht bus In to town every evening. Make sure the hotels u stay in do t have a joiner fee as that will hit your pocket if you want plenty of pay and play action. Good advice already given about reading the lasting forums before you go

You'll be in heaven! I went about a year and half ago, and plan on going back again soon. When in Bangkok, I also stayed a stones throw from Nana. I didn't do any touristy shit when I was there. The only thing touristy worthwhile is the good ole Nana Plaza. Like someone mentioned earlier, you'll see the girls that you see online, like at ladyboy69.

I thought Pataya was just soso. I didn't like how the bars were spread out, and I felt like there was a noticeable dip in the quality of girl there when it comes to overall sexiness and hotness. Nana is where it's at. Beauty upon beauty congregated in this three or four story structure of awesomeness!

Have a great time, and make sure you wrap it up "B"!

I am familiar with the Bangkok scene. Nana is the best place to meet the girls. The advantage is that you can visually see the good and test before selecting :)

There are 4-5 ladyboy bars there but the best and the main ones are Obsession and Cascade. Obsession is on the ground floor. They have some of the most beautiful pre-op ladyboys. However my experience there has been poor and the girls there really do hold back when back in the hotel. It is a great place to go and have a beer and look at the beautiful girls and socialize with them to get you in the mood.

Cascade is in the Top floor and the girls there are hardcore. They offer a mix of girls tall, short, fat, skinny, young and old. Some real stunners amongst them. If you invite a girl to have drink with you they will almost do the deed to you there an then. Buy one a drink and if you get positive and is french kissing you and fondling then you are on a good bet. Seda is beautiful and provides real GFE. Cindy is GFE/PSE type escort and hung. Pancaka is a taller girl and somewhat older but she is full on and not for the faint hearted.

There are few other bars but I do not rate them. Voodoo on ground floor is for post ops only and has some very beautiful girls. I am not into post ops but if you like then Ann is great. She has the best body of all LBs and GGs I have met in Bangkok. I met her before operation but sadly she decided to cut it off last year.

There is also a Guess bar near Nana which is run like a bar. You can have a drink and play pool with the girls. I have had mixed experience there.

There are also plenty girls on the street from early evening. It is hard to know what it is you get when they undress back in your room. Cascade is the best.

In the bars you have to be careful not get overwhelmed by the girls as tons of them pounce on you as you enter the bar wanting to sit with you and have drink. Dont feel obliged to select one. Take your time and pick one that you like. Don't ask for recommendation from Mamasans.

03-18-2014, 08:11 PM
I agree with Mike 11 , however , I have taken a few girls out of Obsession and had great times with them...again...YMMV.....
Cindy or Sindi ( blonde hair, now reddish ) from Cascades is an amazing girl...I first bar fined her back when she still had fresh scars from her breast implants.... most recently about a year and a half ago and she is as sweet as ever..... really unspoiled and what an amazing body....
Guess Bar, which is across the street from Nana and in the cluster of shops to the left, has undergone some changes recently. It is worth a look.

it sucks that Nana is so far from the touristy area in bangkok...i am going there to hopefully do both and was really hoping the areas would be close to each other. i am planning on staying near khao san road -- do you think thats too far to bring girls back from Nana? dont mind paying the cab fare just want to make sure that they will be willing to come back that far.

If you are a pretentious nob interested in hanging out with other pretentious nobs in a filthy, overcrowded, extremely loud ghetto surrounded by other equally pretentious foreigners then definitely stay in Khao San Rd area. If you have an iota of class, you'd avoid it though. Someone recommended Dynasty Grande - you should stay there if you can afford the roughly USD60/night. Unlikely you'd have problems taking girls back there.

I can second that the Dynasty Grande is great and ladyboy friendly. Great room and very secure and safe. For your protection, your "guest" must leave their ID at the front desk before going up to your room. Might feel a little awkward, but who gives a shit? They know what you're there for.

The Koh San Road area is more of a backpacker low end choice with lots of hostels.
Agree with RDTD as far as it being crowded and sort of noisy and dirty.
Don't know what your budget will allow ,but its going to be a hassle trying to bring a bar girl back to a hostel.
Do yourself a favor and get a cheap ,bar girl friendly hotel in the Sukhumvit Road area between Soi 4 and Soi 24.

well i dont consider myself a pretentious nob but i do like meeting other travelers when i go to a new country. its always great to meet ppl from around the world and in my experience ppl ive met in my travels havent been pretentious at all. this is actually one of my favorite parts about traveling. maybe i can find something in between? a place thats still pretty close to the touristy sites (but without the pretentious nobs) as well as Nana? hmm i need to look around a little bit more before i book a place.

Sorry my post probbaly came across harsh and obnoxious ;)

It's because i just found Khao San road to be as I described. 50yrs olds trying to behave like 18yr olds, lots of fake rastas, drunken teenagers vomiting in the street and looking for fights, a lot of people looking like they spent hours watching the 1969 Woodstock Festival on film and now doing their best to imitate it while trying to hide they're likely working some soulless corporate job in some western shithole. I like meeting people from around the world but an asshole is an asshole no matter what country he/she is from. I really hate those people that leave their own country to go to someone else's country to behave like a prick.

grooby frank
03-19-2014, 09:51 AM
I agree with RDTD Khao San road is worth a visit on a weekend if you want to party, however it is full of backpacker types. I have always laughed at how all backpackers think they are living some Jack Kerouac non conformist dream, but they all look and dress alike. They are some of the most conforming stereotypical people you will see when you travel in Asia.

That being said (off my high horse). I love Bangkok. It is a bustling city with great restaurants and nightlife. It has many daytime activities as well.

Pattaya to me is a den of inequity. A pensioners dream. Not much value unless all you want is cheap sex. If you have the means Bangkok or Phuket are your best bet.

Travel smart! Hide anything of value in your room, only take as much money as you want to spend when you walk around. Watch your drinks, and your bill. On a rare occasion either could be spiked. It is best to pay as you drink if you are new. The best protection advice I can give is take a few rubber bands with you and a card case style wallet. Put one card in it with your cash and rubber band it. Keep it in your front pocket! The rubber band will pull on your pocket and warn you if you are being pick pocketed.

Take a photo of your passport and keep it in your bag, I also email it to my self. It is technically a law that all foreigners must carry their passport with them in Thailand. Make a smaller copy of your photo page reduce it to wallet size. Laminate it and carry that with you. If you are gong to be drinking heavily grab a business card from your hotel lobby and keep it with you, you can show it to the taxi driver to get home.

Its khao san rd that is miles aqay not nana.





it sucks that Nana is so far from the touristy area in bangkok...i am going there to hopefully do both and was really hoping the areas would be close to each other. i am planning on staying near khao san road -- do you think thats too far to bring girls back from Nana? dont mind paying the cab fare just want to make sure that they will be willing to come back that far.

Sorry my post probbaly came across harsh and obnoxious ;)

It's because i just found Khao San road to be as I described. 50yrs olds trying to behave like 18yr olds, lots of fake rastas, drunken teenagers vomiting in the street and looking for fights, a lot of people looking like they spent hours watching the 1969 Woodstock Festival on film and now doing their best to imitate it while trying to hide they're likely working some soulless corporate job in some western shithole. I like meeting people from around the world but an asshole is an asshole no matter what country he/she is from. I really hate those people that leave their own country to go to someone else's country to behave like a prick.

I thought to be pretentious you splash out to impress others and stay in expensive places. San Khao is a dive of a place so how can anyone be pretentious there?

Taxis are very cheap and plentiful in Bangkok. If you cross the street without looking you'd probably get ran over by three empty taxis. You and your companions can travel around with ease. Also, Bangkok isn't a walking city. The sidewalks are in a bad state or they're covered in little restaurants. Plus its very hot and humid so you'll be exhausted after walking 5 blocks outside. Taxi cabs are the way to go unless the protests are still going, then you'll be fucked. During the last red shirt protests I had to get out of the cab and hoof it to the bar i was going to. But if that's the case and you aren't some sort of pussy you could take a motorcycle taxi.

As Running mentioned you can find a really decent place to stay that is in the location you want that will let you bring back girls at night. Just do your research on 3 to 5 places you'd like to stay. And if on the day you check in it turns out you're not happy with the place for some reason you can just hop in the next taxi that comes by and go to the next place on your list.

DON'T let the taxi driver take you to a place he suggests. It won't be what you want and it will waste your time.

Just to add this : staying near Nana you have ez access to both the BTS Skytrain at Nana , Ploenchit,and Asok and the metro underground at Asok. From these fast, efficient , and air conditioned methods of transport you can hit many tourist spots including the river where you can take a river taxi to many spots.

At most BTS stations,you can get a tourist map(free) with the stops and the attractions.

If you do head to Pattaya soi LK metro is a busy place right now and generally cheaper than walking street good value bygof beer offers and the like lots of garbage owned bars where u can get good advice of what's going on in town. Pattaya is not everyone's cup of tea but like Ronseal it does what it says on the tin !

I thought to be pretentious you splash out to impress others and stay in expensive places. San Khao is a dive of a place so how can anyone be pretentious there?

it works both ways: the office supervisor who seeks to impress by acting like a CEO and, increasingly, the CEO who tries to impress by acting like a stockboy to mislead others into thinking he/she empathizes with the little people. How you view those people really depends on where in society you fit. For example, I find pseudo-rasta types sporting locks, Bob Marley shirts, Jamaican fashions, smoking weed, and talking peace and love without any understanding of rastafari to be pretentious. Whenever you co-opt someone else's culture to meet your own shallow purposes you're pretentious.

If I could add a few things, having been in BKK recently exclusively to hunt ladyboys:

1. They are EVERYWHERE in Lower Suk. Walk around Nana any time of day or night and you'll trip over them. There are two 7/11's in Nana that are a CONSTANT stream of ladyboys coming and going. I can't properly describe how EASY it is to meet and get laid with ladyboys in Lower Sukhamvit.

2. Make an account on ThaiFriendly.com and specify the "ladyboy" button and flirt with them in advance and arrange to meet them in person. It's easy peesy. Dead easy.

3. Personally I stayed in Upper Suk, out of Nana. Too sleazy for me. But an easy ten minute walk. Google "ladyboy friendly" hotels. There's a website dedicated exclusively to those kinds of hotels. As mentioned Nana Hotel is scummy. Don't stay there.

4. Do not approach freelancers late at night unless you are really street wise. They will roast you, and some might drug and rob you. Stick with Obsessions or other places in Nana, and only approach them on the street in the early evening.

5. Treat them with respect and kindness while holding your guard. As you will see, lots of drunk assholes from all kinds of countries treat the ladyboys like meat to be used and spit out. You'd be amazed how kindness goes such a long way, even in the chaos of Nana.

6. Never take taxies that are parked. They will rip you off---always.

7. Use a rubber--all the time! What too many guys don't talk about is how many ladyboys are infected with STD's. Many of the freelancers are drugged out and take big risks (going bareback etc). Be careful.

8. Khao San Road: Not needed, avoid it. Nana + ThaiFriendly has everything you need to get laid by ladyboys.

9. Don't meet with Craigslist ladyboys unless you have balls. Lots are scammers (not all!). Stick to take out places in Nana.

10. Ladyboys endure tremendous suffering in Thailand, because most of them cannot afford to support themselves outside the sex trade, which is really brutal in lots of ways. As a result, most of the ladyboys I met were tremendously kind and humble when met with respect and kindness. It makes them irresistible. You might even fall in love with them, as I did more than once. Have fun. You may never feel the same about your life or your sexuality. Bangkok is paradise if you meet it on its own terms and try and humanize it.

The Koh San Road area is more of a backpacker low end choice with lots of hostels.
Agree with RDTD as far as it being crowded and sort of noisy and dirty.
Don't know what your budget will allow ,but its going to be a hassle trying to bring a bar girl back to a hostel.
Do yourself a favor and get a cheap ,bar girl friendly hotel in the Sukhumvit Road area between Soi 4 and Soi 24.


Have you stayed in Silom area hon?

I stayed in Dusit Thani Bangkok for $60 a day, a four and plus star hotel after the surgery to recover. It's fabulous. The rate tends to be much higher than this, but you may get lucky to get it this low.

It also needs a key card to access the elevator, but i think if you go together with your chosen lady, you will be fine

There's a great little roadside drinks station outside Robinson's dept store on sukhumvit rd lots of ladyboys there working freelance after they've finished their shift at nana. Some stunners and no joiner fee. Good spot for ppl watching too.Run by a thai policeman. Spent a few happy nights there in November
