Thai Ladyboy Interview

Right now, when thinking about the business of ladyboys, some want to operate, but they are not sure. Normally, if she still has the thing, she will be more popular than a post-op.

Why is that?

If the man is looking for a post-op lady, actually it's better that he takes a girl. That is why ladyboys with cocks are better than a ladyboy without a cock. So you see the ladyboy with a cock still has something already that a lady does not have!

Umm, yes, I see. So how much does all of this surgery cost?

For breasts, they start at about 45,000 baht. For a pussy it starts around 80,000. For everything on the body, the total is much more than 150,000 baht.

What about recovery from the operation, the boobs and the pussy. How long does it take?

For the breasts, it is about one night in hospital. After about two weeks, they are sensitive and you can touch and do everything! But for the pussy you have to stay in hospital around 7 or 8 days. You can use it maybe one and a half months after than that.

How many ladyboys get the "big cut"?

20% or so. Presently it is not so many. In the past, many more ladyboys had the operation than do now. Today it is not so many. In the older times, there were 6 major ladyboy bars in Bangkok and 5 out of 6 ladyboys bars across Nana Plaza and Patpong where the girls had had the full operation. Now it is maybe just some girls.

So how many of you have had the cut?

None. Not one.

What makes someone decide to go all the way?

First, to make yourself look like a lady as best you can. Second, we want to feel like a lady for real. For some it is more about the feeling. The feeling is very important but for others, actually after they have had it they are unhappy. We like to look in the mirror and check everything out about ourselves. For some of us, actually the most important thing is how we look so maybe that is the reason for some.

Are there Western guys in happy, loving relationships with Thai ladyboys?

Yes, there are many. They mostly live in other countries. Some marry gay guys and some get married to straight guys.
