How to Spot a Ladyboy in Thailand
There are many Katoy (‘lady boys’) in Thailand. Here is how to determine if that beautiful woman is actually a man.
1.
* Adam's apple. This is no longer full proof as many now remove their adam's apple surgically.
* Height; (anything above 5.8 is a little suspicious)
* Modified facial features - usually men's faces are more angular.
* Too large feet.
* Too big shoulders.
2. Listen to the voice. Ladyboys speak softly to mask their deeper voice, compared to genetical girls.
3. Smell of transsexual "girls" can be more on a manly side.
4. Look at the way she/he walks. Swishy, flirtatious walking is a ladyboy "tell".
5. Check the shape of the wrist. Men's wrists are usually straight. Women's slant inwards toward the hand. Supposedly this is why it is more comfortable for women to wear bracelets.
6. Large bulge halfway between head and foot when facing the person.
7. More triangular shaped torso, a woman has a more hour glass shape.
8. Women have more pert voluptuous bottoms.
9. A preference for rear hole entry
10. Stitch marks around the vagina that are left by the operation. |

Thailand is famous for its lady-boys (kathoey), men who dress and behave as women. These sometimes look incredibly realistic to the downfall of many male Western (farang) tourists. Thailand is very open-minded on the whole and lady-boys are an unmissable and obvious part of Thai society. You will see many lady-boys around working in restaurants, hairdressers, bars, hotels etc. There are some transvestite or transsexual muay thai boxers as well. There are kathoey cabarets in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket which are promoted as tourist entertainment.
See - MQSEARCH for the latest advertised hotels - Flights - all inclusive vacations - Holidays
Buddhism teaches tolerance, and transvestites and transsexuals are more open about it in Thailand than in the West. Beneath the surface though there may be more prejudice than appears on the surface but laws were passed in 1997 to make everyone equal. This still doesn't prevent discrimination. Kathoey are portrayed in the media as figures of fun - while this may seem harmless, it means that they are not taken seriously. Kathoey are sometimes referred to as the third sex. |

| Thailand is a popular place for sex change operations as the hospitals in Bangkok are very good and it is cheaper than in the West. There are many clinics which specialize in gender realignment surgery. Men can have breast implants and both sexes can be given new genitals. Hormones have to be taken first. Surgery is more effective if done earlier rather than later as otherwise transsexuals still have to live with some of the effects of puberty. For instance men to women transsexuals will still have a deeper voice, larger hands and feet, and more facial hair than most women. Many transgenders feel from an early age that they were born the wrong gender but usually do not undertake surgery until they are older. Some lady-boys can not afford to have the sex change operations required and continue with male physical attributes, but dress and portray themselves as women. Some kathoey have surgery in stages as they can afford it so they may have breast implants but still have male genitals. Thais who change sex have the right to change their title as well, ie the equivalent of changing from Mr to Miss. |

| Lady-boys are very hard to spot. Some clues are: the height - bear in mind that Thai women are very petite so a lady-boy may be the same height as a Western woman rather than a Western man; signs of an adam's apple; shape and size of hands, wrists and hands; and a deep voice. |

Begging
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Beggar" redirects here. Distinguish from Begga and Bega.
Beggars in Samarkand, 1905
Beggars in Samarkand, 1905
Begging means to request something in a supplicating manner, with the implication that the person who is begging will suffer emotional and/or physical harm if the request is not granted.
As such, the term is applicable not only to individual persons, but also to groups, for example, corporate lobbyists who beg for additional tax breaks from governments on the grounds (real or imaginary) that the corporations they represent may be forced to downsize if the tax breaks are not forthcoming. (See Corporate welfare).
Many people encounter begging when passing through public places, such as street corners or public transport, and encountering a stranger who requests money, food, shelter or other things. |

Begging may be the only possible means of survival for persons with no job and no access to social security, particularly undocumented refugees or subsistence farmers in times of famine or drought.
Begging may also be a means by which persons with drug, alcohol, or psychiatric problems which prevent them selling their labour choose to sustain themselves, in preference to living with families, or in institutions, which they may dislike.
In a strictly free-market capitalist system, begging is one of only three possible ways of surviving; the other two are selling labour, and living on the income from investments. Since relatively few people have sufficient investments to generate a living wage, it follows that people who are unable to sell their labour for any reason are often forced to beg. In some cases, the descent from a middle-class lifestyle to begging can happen within a short period of time, and this is a popular theme in contemporary fiction.
One of the advantages often claimed for a social security economy over a free market economy is that fewer people are forced to suffer the indignity of begging to survive. |

Begging is also referred to as sponging, spanging (short for "spare-changing") or (in American English) panhandling.
In many towns and cities throughout the world, it is common to see beggars asking for currency, food, or other items. Beggars often beg for spare change equipped with cups, boxes, hats, or other items into which currency can be placed and sometimes display signs with messages such as "Help me. I'm homeless."
Begging is distinct from, but often associated with, busking, in which persons make music (of varying quality) in public places and request donations from the public.

Beggars will often share successful approaches or '"spange lines" which seem to attract more attention or to entice or entertain passersby. Examples include:
* Long stories of the mendicant's plight or some task they are trying to accomplish, such as obtaining money "for the bus," traveling cross-country, being stranded with an empty automobile fuel tank and needing to return home, etc.
* Approaching automobile fuel station customers with an empty, 15L or 20L portable fuel can and asking them to fill it or part of it. The gas is then converted to cash by being resold at a discount below the fuel pump price. In many cases, despite the appearance suggested by the fuel container, the beggar in this situation doesn't actually own or have use of an automobile by which he would consume the fuel.
* A direct request for money for alcohol or drugs, in the hopes that honesty will gain sympathy.[1]
* Colorful approaches such as "I'll bet you a dollar I have your name tattooed on my ass" (where the beggar has the actual words "Your Name" tattooed), or lines like "Do you have change for a dollar?" (since people are more likely to trade change than give it away) followed by "Can I have it?" when the solicited shows he or she does in fact have change.
* Humorous requests for something other than expected, such as "Can you spare a kidney?"
* Stationing oneself either in or near vehicle traffic in order to peddle goods or solicit donations, for example walking between lanes at a red light; when this is done with a sign, it is often referred to as "flying".[2] In these cases, beggars run the risk of being struck by passing vehicles.[3][4]
* Requests or behaviors deemed as ostentatious or audacious, such as "I'll lick my tit for a dollar."
* Some beggars will pose as someone famous to beg. For instance, some innovative beggars in India paint themselves as Mahatma Gandhi in tableaux color. |

# Speaking very softly so that the solicited needs to stop to listen to what the beggar has to say.
# Beggars can build a relationship with those they solicit by remembering their faces and greeting them when they pass. Ostensibly, this makes it harder for the solicited to walk away without giving anything.
# Setting up a "Free Information" booth or sign with tip jar, and then answering questions to the best of one's ability regarding information nearby, such as directions, amenities, etc. A similar ruse is to set up a sign promising the passerby an opportunity to 'touch a real hobo' or 'talk to an actual poor person', all for a nominal fee.
# To maintain cover and inconspicuousness, the beggar remains in an area for hours at a time selling newspaper subscriptions, or other such items, to sidewalk passerby, when offer is refused the beggar then asks: "Then how about a donation instead."
# Psychological manipulation: when a request for money is refused by passerby, the beggar makes a strong statement intended to induce shame and reproach in the passerby, and a possible future donation, such as "Thanks a lot."
# Subliminal psychological interrogatories such as "do you have any change." While the beggar may in fact be asking if the passerby has "any change" for him, the beggar may also be challenging the passerby to confirm or deny that he has any change in pocket. Many passersby are morally resistant to lying about coins in pocket, or resistant to stating "not for you," then decide to give their money to the beggar.
# Stationing oneself outside of a cash intensive retail market and using an entry/exit strategy: the passerby stating "I have no change" is then suggested by the beggar that the passerby might have change and give money "maybe on the way out" of the store.
# Youthful appearing or child beggars or their parents produce and print legitimate looking materials or posters related to a "little league" or youth sports program and ask for money "to buy equipment." The money, often from an entire family of children, is then funneled to a parent or other family member and not to the youth organization.
# Fraudulent adult beggars produce similar materials for a legitimate religious or charitable organization or program and solicit money for such an organization on the spot. Subsequent investigations in telephone directories, internet searches, revenue authority records, and other public records of charitable organizations reveal the organization is non-existent or disbanded. The beggar then moves on to another area of the city or region, only to return with the same operation months or years later. |

Aggressive panhandling
Aggressive panhandling involves the solicitation of donations in an inappropriate and intimidating manner. This is not mugging, but rather a "borderline" activity which is often prohibited by law. Examples include:
* Soliciting near ATM banking machines.
* Soliciting from customers inside a store or restaurant.
* Soliciting near or at religious or holy sites (such as in the Old City of Jerusalem or the Vatican City).
* Extending a hand, or even the head and both arms, into a car window to solicit.
* Soliciting after dark, in a secluded area.
* Approaching individuals from behind, as they are exiting their vehicles, to solicit.
* Soliciting in a loud voice, often accompanied with wild gesticulations.
* The use of insults, profanity, or veiled threats.
* Refusing to take "No" for an answer, and following an individual.
* Demanding more money after a donation has been given.
* Invasion of personal space, cornering, blocking, or inappropriate touching.
* A "team" of several beggars approaching an individual at once, often surrounding the person.
* "Camping out" in a spot where begging negatively influences some other business (such as in front of a store or restaurant) in the hope that the business owner will give money to make the beggar go away.
* There have been reports of beggars who will attempt to have their limbs amputated in the hope that they can solicit more out of sympathy.[5] |

Restriction of beggars
[edit] Canada
The province of Ontario introduced its Safe Streets Act in 1999 to restrict specific kinds of begging, particularly certain narrowly-defined cases of "aggressive" or abusive panhandling.[6] In 2001 this law survived a court challenge under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. [7] The law was further upheld by the Ontario Court of Appeal in January 2007.[8]
British Columbia enacted its own Safe Streets Act in 2004 which resembles the Ontario law. There are also critics in that province who oppose such laws.[9] |

In many larger cities, such as Chicago, Illinois, peddling has been banned. In Chicago, there are a number of signs at regular intervals reminding people that peddling is banned. This rarely dissuades the beggar, and the constitutionality of such bans has not been firmly established by case law. In 2004, the city of Orlando, Florida passed an ordinance (Orlando Municipal Code section 43.86) requiring panhandlers to obtain a permit from the municipal police department. The ordinance further makes it a crime to panhandle in the commercial core of downtown Orlando, as well as within 50 feet of any bank or automated teller machine. It is also considered a crime in Orlando for panhandlers to make false or untrue statements, or to disguise themselves, to solicit money, and to use money obtained for a claim of a specific purpose (e.g. food) to be spent on anything else (e.g. drugs). The potential for these latter restrictions to be enforced is minimal.
In Santa Cruz, CA, there are regulations for panhandlers on where they can and cannot "Spange". For example, they must be a certain distance away from the door of any business.
The Atlanta, Georgia, city council approved a ban on panhandling on August 16, 2005, and Mayor Shirley Franklin is expected to sign the ban into law.
In most, if not all, US jurisdictions, beggars can be arrested and jailed under the vagrancy laws. |

In some countries begging is much more tolerated and in certain cases encouraged. In many, perhaps most, traditional religions, it is considered that a person who gives alms to a worthy beggar, such as a spiritual seeker, gains religious merit.
In traditional Christianity, the rich are encouraged to give to the poor. Speaking of criminals, prostitutes, beggars, and other people despised by society, Jesus said, "I am the least of these," which is taken to mean that giving to a beggar is the equivalent of giving to Jesus Himself.
In many Hindu traditions, spiritual seekers, known as sadhus, beg for food. This is because fruitive activity, such as farming or shopkeeping, is regarded as a materialistic distraction from the search for moksha, or spiritual liberation. Begging, on the other hand, promotes humility and gratitude, not only towards the individuals who are giving food, but towards the Universe in general. This helps the sadhu attain a state of bliss or Samadhi.
In traditional Shaivite Hinduism in particular, old men, having lived a full life as a householder in the world, frequently give up material possessions and become wandering ascetic mendicants (sadhus), spending their last months or years seeking spiritual enlightenment. Villagers gain religious merit by giving food and other necessities to these ascetics.
In Buddhism, all monks and nuns traditionally live by begging for alms, as did the historical Gautama Buddha himself. This is, among other reasons, so that lay people can gain religious merit by giving food, medicines, and other essential items to the monks. The monks seldom need to plead for food; in villages and towns throughout modern Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and other Buddhist countries, householders can often be found at dawn every morning streaming down the road to the local temple to give food to the monks.
There is also a long traditional of rather less spiritual beggars, in India and elsewhere, who are simply begging as a means to obtain material wealth. Some are even beggars for generations, and continue their family tradition of begging. A few beggars in the subcontinent even have sizable wealth, which they accumulate by "employing" other, newer beggars.

In Europe, women from the poorer countries of the continent (e.g. Bulgaria) are sometimes forced by organized gangs to beg in cities in Western Europe such as Barcelona, the proceeds being collected by the gangs.[10]

In many larger cities, such as Chicago, Illinois, peddling has been banned. In Chicago, there are a number of signs at regular intervals reminding people that peddling is banned. This rarely dissuades the beggar, and the constitutionality of such bans has not been firmly established by case law. In 2004, the city of Orlando, Florida passed an ordinance (Orlando Municipal Code section 43.86) requiring panhandlers to obtain a permit from the municipal police department. The ordinance further makes it a crime to panhandle in the commercial core of downtown Orlando, as well as within 50 feet of any bank or automated teller machine. It is also considered a crime in Orlando for panhandlers to make false or untrue statements, or to disguise themselves, to solicit money, and to use money obtained for a claim of a specific purpose (e.g. food) to be spent on anything else (e.g. drugs). The potential for these latter restrictions to be enforced is minimal.
In Santa Cruz, CA, there are regulations for panhandlers on where they can and cannot "Spange". For example, they must be a certain distance away from the door of any business.
The Atlanta, Georgia, city council approved a ban on panhandling on August 16, 2005, and Mayor Shirley Franklin is expected to sign the ban into law.
In most, if not all, US jurisdictions, beggars can be arrested and jailed under the vagrancy laws. |

Begging is also banned in the London Underground System, although there are designated "busking spots" that can be hired in some stations that allow musicians to entertain travellers.

In some countries begging is much more tolerated and in certain cases encouraged. In many, perhaps most, traditional religions, it is considered that a person who gives alms to a worthy beggar, such as a spiritual seeker, gains religious merit.
In traditional Christianity, the rich are encouraged to give to the poor. Speaking of criminals, prostitutes, beggars, and other people despised by society, Jesus said, "I am the least of these," which is taken to mean that giving to a beggar is the equivalent of giving to Jesus Himself.
In many Hindu traditions, spiritual seekers, known as sadhus, beg for food. This is because fruitive activity, such as farming or shopkeeping, is regarded as a materialistic distraction from the search for moksha, or spiritual liberation. Begging, on the other hand, promotes humility and gratitude, not only towards the individuals who are giving food, but towards the Universe in general. This helps the sadhu attain a state of bliss or Samadhi.
In traditional Shaivite Hinduism in particular, old men, having lived a full life as a householder in the world, frequently give up material possessions and become wandering ascetic mendicants (sadhus), spending their last months or years seeking spiritual enlightenment. Villagers gain religious merit by giving food and other necessities to these ascetics.
In Buddhism, all monks and nuns traditionally live by begging for alms, as did the historical Gautama Buddha himself. This is, among other reasons, so that lay people can gain religious merit by giving food, medicines, and other essential items to the monks. The monks seldom need to plead for food; in villages and towns throughout modern Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and other Buddhist countries, householders can often be found at dawn every morning streaming down the road to the local temple to give food to the monks.
There is also a long traditional of rather less spiritual beggars, in India and elsewhere, who are simply begging as a means to obtain material wealth. Some are even beggars for generations, and continue their family tradition of begging. A few beggars in the subcontinent even have sizable wealth, which they accumulate by "employing" other, newer beggars. They can claim to have territories, and then may engage in verbal and physical abuse of encroaching beggars.[citation needed]
In Europe, women from the poorer countries of the continent (e.g. Bulgaria) are sometimes forced by organized gangs to beg in cities in Western Europe such as Barcelona, the proceeds being collected by the gangs.[10]
In some countries, including Malta and Cuba, there is no noticeable incidence of begging.[11] |

A common criticism of beggars is that they spend money received on irresponsible or unnecessary items, particularly on drugs, alcohol or tobacco. This is often stated as a reason for not giving money to panhandlers. Also, in many communities in developed countries, various state and private charitable social services may be available such as welfare, soup kitchens and homeless shelters that may reduce any survival need for begging.
A 2002 study of 54 panhandlers in Toronto reported that of a median monthly income of $638 CAD, those interviewed spent a median of $200 CAD on food and $192 CAD on alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs, according to Income and spending patterns among panhandlers, by Rohit Bose and Stephen W. Hwang.[12] The Fraser Institute criticized this study citing problems with potential exclusion of lucrative forms of begging and the unreliability of reports from the panhandlers who were polled in the Bose/Hwang study.[13]
In North America, panhandling money is widely reported to support substance abuse and other addictions. For example, outreach workers in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, surveyed that city's panhandling community and determined that approximately three-quarters use donated money to buy tobacco products while two-thirds buy solvents or alcohol.[14] In Midtown Manhattan, one outreach worker anecdotally commented to the New York Times that substance abuse accounts for 90 percent of panhandling funds.[15]
Because of this, some advise those wishing to give to beggars to give gift cards or vouchers for food or services, and not cash.[16][14] Some shelters also offer business cards with information on the shelter's location and services, which can be given in lieu of cash.[17] |

Begging on the Internet
Main article: Internet begging
Begging like other activities has also adapted to the net taking on an "e-panhandling" role. Instead of begging on the streets, cyber panhandlers set up a website where they "beg" for money. Later variants tried to request money for their personal needs that were beyond their financial ability with some success. Begging has also become commonplace in the chatrooms of various gambling and poker websites. In poker sites, one will frequently see someone claiming that they are so good at the game that if someone lends them 10 dollars, that they'll have it back to the lender with interest in a very short period of time. These may be desperate gaming addicts who have run dry, or they may not gamble at all and simply withdraw the money for their own use. Players of online games may beg for in-game currency, such as Gold in MMOs or Lindens in second life, which can be converted to real world currency. |

History of Begging
There are few, if any, current techniques for begging which have not been used for hundreds of years, or are not based on older techniques, adapted to modern technology. Beggars rarely recorded their techniques, and often used Thieves' cant to disguise their own communication. What is known of them is largely from records of law enforcement, penitential or rogue literature. From early modern England the best examples are Thomas Harman, and Robert Greene in his coney-catching pamphlets. There is no reason to suppose that what he recorded was new. There are similar writers for many European countries in the early modern period.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Internet begging is a cyber or e-version of traditional begging, asking strangers for money to meet immediate and other needs (money, food, and shelter). It is also referred to as cyber begging and internet panhandling. Internet begging has the clear advantage to street panhandling in that it can be practiced with relative anonymity, thereby eliminating or reducing the shame and disgrace apparent of begging in public.
A cause website is a term for a cyber begging site that presents a personal appeal for funds or help.

[edit] History
During the early days of the Internet, cyber begging was evident in the form of personal advertisements for help on local bulletin board systems (BBS). As personal websites became more popular, individuals began advertising their needs using the features available through website authoring. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offered a free homepage along with the basic dial-up connection service to the Internet. For many people, this was an opportunity to create an inexpensive website to host and share their personal experience and need.
As non-profit organizations began moving their fundraising efforts from snail mail (postal mail) to the World Wide Web, individuals began to create more elaborate forms of personal 'fundraising' by utilizing many of the same Internet techniques.
During the late 1990s, as the Internet became more sophisticated, resources became available allowing any individual to create an attractive website without requiring the knowledge of HTML or other web authoring systems. These free-to-inexpensive web hosting services remain a constant on the Internet making it easy for the public to access, create and advertise an Internet begging website.
Internet begging gained notoriety and momentum after June of 2002 when Karyn Bosnak started SaveKaryn.com as an attempt to have the Internet public help pay her credit card debt. For Bosnak, the results led to traditional media attention, appearances on popular television programs and a book.

Internet begging sites
With hundreds of Internet begging sites on-line, it has become common practice for web beggars to register and own the domain name of their websites. Using free to inexpensive hosting services, Internet begging websites ask the public for help with many needs including breast augmentation surgery[1], cancer treatments, new cars, preventing personal homelessness, and medical bills to suggest a few. Websites with names reflecting their needs directly or indirectly are panhandling for help with a variety of human needs and conditions, from deeply personal to very humorous.
Many 'cause websites' accept contributions via clickable hyperlinks. Internet services like PayPal and the Amazon.com Honor system offer free to inexpensive credit card and payment acceptance services making it easy for cyber beggars to collect donations directly from their websites.
Many of the Internet begging websites appear to be the result of an individual’s legitimate desire for attention and help. However, a new trend is emerging in 'Mega' begging sites that are ostensibly offering would be Internet beggars help with the details of website design, hosting and advertising. [2]
Internet begging websites are essentially as transient as traditional off-line panhandlers with respect to territory and accessibility. Many Internet begging websites are not long lived.
[edit] Begging in online poker rooms
Sometimes beggars use the chat facility in online poker rooms to beg for money. This practice often occurs at high stakes tables, where the beggars may believe they have a better chance of being paid by people who play for high stakes. However, this practice is usually frowned upon,[3] and most online poker rooms employ countermeasures to prevent it.[4] These countermeasures include revoking offenders' chat privileges, limiting chat to seated players only, and placing limitations on who may chat as an observer. |

Laws against internet begging
Some countries and other jurisdictions have passed laws prohibiting or restricting internet begging, though enforcement has been minimal, and there have been no major reports of anyone being prosecuted for the practice in itself.
The United Kingdom has outlawed all internet begging, but has not actively tried to crack down on the practice [5].
Mexico has a law requiring those engaging in internet begging to positively indentify themselves and to accurately specify why they need money.
In virtually all places, those receiving money through internet begging are required to pay taxes in accordance with all national, state, and local laws.
District attorneys in all places where such laws exist agree that enforcement is difficult, given that the internet is worldwide, and since funds are usually solicited across jurisdiction lines, such prosecution is difficult.

General description
The term "kathoey" is not an exact equivalent of the modern western transwoman — it suggests that the person is a type of male, unlike the term sao praphet song, which suggests a female sex identity, or phet thee sam, which suggests a third gender. The term phu-ying praphet thi sorng, roughly translated as "second type of woman", is also used to refer to kathoey.[1] Australian scholar of sexual politics in Thailand Peter Jackson claims that the term "kathoey" was used in premodern times to refer to intersexuals, and that the usage changed in the middle of the twentieth century to cover cross-dressing males.[2] The term can refer to males who exhibit varying degrees of femininity — many kathoeys dress as women and undergo feminising medical procedures such as hormone replacement therapy, breast implants, genital reassignment surgery, or Adam's apple reductions. Others may wear makeup and use feminine pronouns, but dress as men, and are closer to the western category of effeminate gay man than transgender.
Kathoeys are often identified at a young age, and are considered to be "born that way". They may have access to hormones (available without prescription) and medical procedures during their teenage years.
The term "kathoey" may be considered pejorative, especially in the form "kathoey-saloey". It has a meaning similar to the English language "fairy" or "queen".[3]
[edit] Social context
Kathoeys usually work in traditionally feminine occupations, in shops, coffee bars and restaurants, beauty salons and hairstylists.[4] Many also work in entertainment and tourist centers, as dancers, in cabaret shows — Alcazar and Tiffanys in Pattaya are among the best known — or as prostitutes.
Compared to Western countries, where transgender and transsexuals are just beginning to become visible, kathoeys are much more visible and more widely accepted in Thai culture: several popular Thai models, singers and movie stars are kathoeys, and Thai newspapers often print photos of the winners of female and kathoey beauty contests side by side. The phenomenon is not restricted to urban areas; there are kathoeys in most villages, and kathoey beauty contests are commonly held as part of local fairs.
Some believe that this higher acceptance is due to the nature of the surrounding Buddhist culture, which places a high value on tolerance. Using the notion of Karma, some Thai believe that being a kathoey is the result of transgressions in past lives, concluding that kathoey deserve pity rather than blame. [5]

A common stereotype has older well-off kathoey provide financial support to young men with whom they are in a personal relationship.[6]
Kathoey women currently face many social and legal impediments. Families (and especially fathers) are typically disappointed if a son becomes a kathoey, and katheoy women often have to face the prospect of coming out. However, kathoey generally have greater acceptance in Thailand than most other Asian countries.[7] Legal recognition of kathoeys is non-existent in Thailand: even after genital reassignment surgery, they are not allowed to change their legal sex. Discrimination in employment and lending remains rampant.[8] Issues can also arise in regards to access to amenities and gender allocation; for example, a kathoey who had undergone sexual reassignment surgery would still have to stay in an all-male prison. |

Kathoey working in a gogo bar in Bangkok's Nana Plaza entertainment area
In 1996, a kathoey education student murdered a young woman. This was followed by negative coverage of kathoey in the Thai press; the Rajabhat Institutes (teacher training colleges) then closed their doors to all kathoey. The decision was reversed after protests by gay, lesbian and feminist groups.
Also in 1996, a volleyball team composed mostly of gays and kathoeys, known as the The Iron Ladies, which was portrayed in two Thai movies, won the Thai national championship. The Thai government, concerned with the country's image, then barred two of the kathoey from joining the national team and competing internationally.
Among the most famous kathoeys in Thailand is Nong Tum, a former champion Thai boxer who emerged into the public eye in 1998. She was already cross-dressing and taking hormones while still a popular boxer; she would enter the ring with long hair and makeup, occasionally kissing a defeated opponent. She announced her retirement from professional boxing in 1999 — undergoing genital reassignment surgery, while continuing to work as a coach, and taking up acting and modeling. She returned to boxing in 2006.
In 2004, the Chiang Mai Technology School allocated a separate restroom for kathoeys, with an intertwined male and female symbol on the door. The 15 kathoey students are required to wear male clothing at school but are allowed to sport feminine hairdos. The restroom features four stalls, but no urinals.[9]
Following the Military Coup in Thailand in 2006 kathoeys are hoping for a new third sex to be added to passports and other official documents in a proposed new constitution.[10] In 2007, legislative efforts have begun to allow kathoeys to change their legal sex if they have undergone genital reassignment surgery; this latter restriction was controversially discussed in the community.[8] |

Culture
[edit] Revues and music groups
Following a similar group in South Korea, the first all kathoey music group in Thailand was formed in 2006. It is named Venus Flytrap and was selected and promoted by Sony BMG Music Entertainment.[11]
The Lady Boys of Bangkok is a kathoey revue that has played at the Edinburgh Festival in 2006 and 2007 and also in several other cities in the UK.
