The Lady Boys of Bangkok are famous worldwide,they are firmly established as part of Thailand's culture and there are now 6 multi-million purpose-built theatres in Bangkok that just host Lady Boys.Every Spring they tour the UK and each year they perform a different spectacular show.This year it is Carnival Queens with wonderful costumes,comedy sketches and a breathtaking acrobatic act.
Every year in April/May Gandex World Class Productions brings the famous Lady Boys of Bangkok to Brighton and each year it is a new show,this year's offering is Carnival Queens and it is more spectacular than ever.
Their own purpose-built structure the fully carpeted Sabai Pavilion is set up in Victoria Gardens opposite the Royal Pavilion and as soon as you enter the foyer you are engulfed in Bangkok's exotic nightlife.
There is a stall selling feathers,Thai Buddhas,DVDs and photographs of The Lady Boys and much more.Moving along to the Thai Cabin you can experience the taste of Thailand with delicious dishes cooked in front of you by Master Chef Thapwat Phanmee,there is also a licensed bar.
As you enter the main Pavilion beautifully dressed Thai girls (or maybe boys) escort you to your table which is one of many tables set out cabaret style.When you book a ticket you are allocated a table and many Hen Parties choose to go to the show on a Friday or Saturday night when it is a real party.
But every night is a party in the Sabai Pavilion and the show is very spectacular and a great night out.It is funny,sexy but never crude and there is no nudity.Just 16 of the world's greatest showgirls taking you through a carnival parade like no other show you have ever seen.
The only difference is these Beautiful girls are all Thai men.They have Thai boys who perform as males in the show and this year they have a wonderful acrobatic act by a young man who performs on top and round the sides of a tall pole.That is definitely one of the highlights of the 2012 Carnival.
Who are the LadyBoys?
Lady Boys or Katoeys as they are called in Thailand are known as the 3rd sex.They are not transexual or transvestites,they are transgender individuals who live 24 hours a day.365 days a year as Lady Boys and they are generally more in Thai culture than transexual people are in Western countries.
Lady Boys have been around in Thailand for centuries,they orginated as performers at weddings and market places very much like troubadours or travelling players.
Some 30 years ago Lady Boys started performing for tourists in Bangkok and were so popular there are now 6 multi-million purpose-built theatres in the city that just host Lady Boys.
The 2012 show Carnival Queens is a mixture of topical comedy,surprises and satire that only the Lady Boys can deliver.All the performers mime to well-known songs and there is a hilarious skit on The Sound of Music.One of the older Lady Boys has got Tina Turner off to a tee.
The Lady Boys of Bangkok is currently on a UK tour and you can book them by telephoning 0871 705 0705 and you can find more information about the 2012 show on the Lady Boys website

UPDATE: Ambassadors earn bonuses for answering questions, however - only answers which include products links (as described above) will earn bonuses.
You should include screenshots of the products you recommend (Ambassadors: you earn increased rewards when doing this)

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.
To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.
Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
I know Thailand is a home of many homosexuals. Very interesting facts about this group.
