I met a very hot post op one in a nightclub in Patts and she offered up the info to us without us asking. Had she not I'm pretty sure one of us would have gone home with her as she was great looking and not even slightly suspect. She was unusually short for a LB so probably one of the reasons why we never suspected.

its been awful for months now.
It is however relatively reliable for grinding (but slow) in the night

omahakid doesnt care about reliability, he cares about the bars

fwiw i got 4-bars EVDO-A in chalong. slow as hell for downloading but better latency to party than with the 3bb adsl

cdma: latency to party 390-410ms



3bb premier 5/1mbit: latency to party 450ms

i would like to thank mat slansky for making this post so informative

For slow poker it works find i guess, but not for rush poker. Anyway, I always get 4 bars on it, expect for the 2 last days where it has been on 1 bar, which is as good as no signal.

It took about 1 minute just to open the speedtest webpage, lol:



I just noticed that I tested against Phuket and you against Bangkok, and my results are just horrendous anyway..

Thanks for the speedtest results Lessu! I had to call Cat and they fixed the problem. I think something was wrong in one of their boxes or whatever they have close to Tesco Lotus Chalong. Back to four bars now!

Booked
U still owe me that 1k bet

I'll shoot the Giant firework off my shoulder and you go for a swim @ karon on a bad day.

Hi.

Apparently I cant use 3BB now when im about to move from a house to a condo (at least they told me so)
Is it possible to grind with TOT or CAT from phuket?

I don't owe you anything.

FWIW I don't feel like booking any action on you surviving a rip because 3 days ago a lady drown about 100 meters away from me and it seems like a lose/lose prop. She must not have been trained to swim up to your standards.

Can somebody explain the whole ladyboy thing to me? I mean, why do they do it?

I had always assumed they did it because they were poor and wanted to make money being prostitutes, but it seems like some of them embrace their ladyboy-ness a bit more than I would expect, some of them go out and rob people, etc?

I've also heard that "ladyboys can get very pushy"... meaning they are very pushy in wanting you to take them home? And once you get them home and discover they are a man, what do they expect to happen?

Is there a substantial group of people who actually prefer ladyboys for what they are?

It just seems weird.



And wow those speed tests make me want to puke... The 3bb with 4mb down looks stomach-able I guess.

Many of them are just gay, and this is the more accepted way to be gay in Thailand. A smaller proportion are genuine transexuals - that is they have had gender reassignment surgery. And the ones who do that do it for similar reasons that western transexuals do - they feel like a woman in a man's body, and therefore change their body.

Yes, very much so.

Despite their appearance, Ladyboys are men, and therefore are a lot more aggressive than women. More aggressive sexually and more aggressive physically. They are very commonly implicated in robberies and assaults on tourists.

hey guys, i was wondering if u could help me out for a minute. i am thinking of going on a 40 day trip to thailand and i was hoping you could tell me what the weather is like in the south islands such as koh phi phi, koh phangan from mid september to late october. google says its the rainy season till end the october so how much precipitation and sunshine can i expect during this time period? thanks again, will post later

There is plenty of them in the USA too, why do they do it? Why are gay people gay? Who knows.

The reason why this is a frequent Thailand topic is because most tourists - particularly guys - only go to a handful of places in Thailand that openly deal in sex. That is why you hear the occasional robbery stories also. It is strange to see 'guys' who look better than most of the women there.

Ahhhh very informative, thanks.

Isn't this a cultural thing? I read somewhere that it is something like a bad beat for Thai family when the newborn kid turns out to be a boy. As boys family have to take financial care of next brides family. So some families ignore the fact that their kid have a penis and raise him as a girl.

or is it all bs?

me and three other lads got back from a night out in bkk and found a girl scratching round outside our hotel room. we were all hammered and someone invited her in. we started shagging, get sucked off by her then about half way through we realised it was probably a ladyboy, she had fake tits, fake pussy and was pushing about 5ft 10/ 11. when i asked her if she was a ladyboy she kept saying "im a lady, im a lady". we all thought we would give her the benefit of the doubt, but looking im 99% sure it was ladyboy. not my finest moment. 5 guys in room have sex with each other

good read!

I am not gay. I like women, but whenever I was in Thailand, the ladyboy's were often a lot more traditionally beautiful than the women.

I never had trouble with a woman in Thailand, but one ladyboy tried to pickpocket me *shrug* When I tried to stop her she claimed she was just trying to feel me up. (from inside my back pocket where my wallet was?!)

Theres huge variance in Ladyboys.

Some look amazing and are very convincing women, well educated and very good English

others look like tuk-tuk drivers in a wig and lipstick.

i hope you all rubbered up, coz it probably doesnt get much riskier than a street walking freelance ladyboy

any tips/ recommendations for flights from NYC? Looking at flights out there over the next 2 months and flying back in December. Any tips for a longer term round trip? Usually cheaper flying back within 3 months.

I think the LB thing is more a fetish in its own right than a gay thing as such, although no doubt a few gay/bisexual guys do participate. The reason I say this is because one of my best friends is gay and he told me there is no chance in hell he would touch a LB, only guys for him.

Yeah, the vast majority of ladyboy fans are (otherwise) straight men.
