Ladyboys in Phuket

LADYBOYS – KATOEYS

The tourist attraction in Patong are ladyboys.A katoey is a boy that either dresses like or acts like a girl or in other words ‘a ladyboy’.You just have to visit Soi Katoey (Soi Crocodile) to see those famous ladyboys (katoeys). Watch your step while entering a ladyboy bar! Dancing ladyboys can distract you from the steep stairs so you can easily fall down. The tables are scattered in the club just round the dance floor. As soon as you sit down ladyboys will surround you with a friendly question: “How are you?” But keep your eyes open! However there are the Katoeys who transform their appearance from boys into some of the most beautiful female persons any one would wish to see. They have a real skill at applying make up, and can make themselves into female looking people perhaps more adeptly than many females.

Soi Katoey is a small street off the main nightlife drag in Patong Beach called “Soi Bangla”. The official name of Soi Katoey is, “Soi Crocodile” . The soi is more known by ladyboy-lovers across the world as “Soi Katoey”.
