Ladyboys in The Isaan Rice Paddies?
While driving through the little villages of North-Eastern Thailand also known as Isan, we drove down a small dark road that was a shortcut to the main road. While it wasn’t odd to see the Thai villagers wandering around the road carelessly, my eyes couldn’t help but notice these villagers weren’t dressed in the typical Isan style, or ‘chill out at home’ clothes as we’d call them back in the West. But these girls were dressed to impress! Wow! They looked like they dropped from the sky from outside a Bangkok night club.
Low and behold as we drive pass we see they are terribly made-up ladyboys!! Their make-up was far worse than even I could have pulled off (eh hem, if I were so inclined, of course)! All I could do was laugh, smile and shake my head. You just can’t NOT see katoeys in Thailand. Even in the dark dirt roads of the secluded rice paddies there’s a good chance you’ll run into them! We went back to get a photo for this post and they were gone. Apparently they’d already found some suitors or their boyfriends had already picked them up. Either way it was quite entertaining to witness and it gave us something to talk about during the long, arduous drive back to Krung Thep a.k.a. Bangkok, Thailand.
