Hi guys
First of all, thanks for all your input and funny stories. I took my first trip to Patong in Feb and this forum keeps those very happy memories alive.
I just wanted to add some info about the ladyboy pix you've posted, as I met most of them when I was there. The three really incredible looking ones from the ****tail bar are called Nang, Toy and Jenny. They also work (or they did when I was there) as singers and dancers at Koh Joy, a cabaret show near Royal Paradise. It's an eye popping show, about 1 hour or so, and the girls are unbelievably sexy. On most performances at least one of them accidentally on purpose lets her magnificent tits spill out of her costume. If you're a lifelong skirt chaser, believe me, you'll come away feeling very VERY confused! By the way, Koh Joy also does fantastic food and the Australian guy who runs it (who also has the new bar) is a great bloke.
And just to put a myth to rest, as well as being wet dreams, these girls are all a great laugh and they're absolute sweethearts. One night I tripped over a step and bashed my knee up badly (another of those beer accidents!) and the next day two of them - independently of each other - went to the chemists to get me some stuff to rub on it. All that stuff about laydboys being vicious and dangerous - it just ain't necessarily so. It's like anyone else. Treat them with a bit of respect and affection, have a laugh with them and they'll respond. And then some.
