If you have visited Thailand chances are you may have witnessed the extravagant dancing beauties in a cabaret show or even through a personal encounter. Ladyboy's are referred to by many different names including kathoey, transgender, transvestite or cross dresser. Many ladyboys are now the toast of the town becoming famous throughout Thailand, some with successful modeling or television careers and a massive presence on social media.
In 2017, ten of the most famous have been ranked based upon their following and the frequency with which their names appear in local media. Today I thought it would be fun to take a look at these famous people with the help of Coconuts Bangkok, let's count them down.
Chalisa 'Rose' Yuemchai shot to fame after a minor role in the Chinese comedy movie 'Lost in Thailand', which made USD$107 million in profits. Chinese audiences were surprised when Rose delivered her single line in well spoken Mandarin. After the release of the movie she developed a strong Chinese fan base, with many Chinese travelers visiting Chiang Mai specifically to visit locations featured in the hit movie.
Nadia was crowned Miss Mimosa Queen Thailand in 2015. After winning the local trans pageant which is held annually in Pattaya she has since become quite well known. Since that time, Nadia has continued to work as a freelance model and dancer.
With nearly 100,000 followers on Facebook, Pynk gained fame after becoming a spokes model for a surgery hospital in South Korea. Thanks to her doctor, Pynk now looks like she came straight out of Japanese anime.
Jeen 20, made headlines in local media after showing up at the mandatory for men military draft in Thailand’s Chachoengsao province earlier in 2017. Her appearance wasn’t what the draft were expecting for a prospective soldier. Jeen became famous overnight after many people including the soldier recruits themselves took photos of her and posted them online.
Frame 22, shook up social media when she attended the military draft. Her cute and innocent look exempted her from military service but landed her many interviews on Thai TV. A communication arts major, the talented Frame produced a series of short films called 'Crazy Love' starring internet idols as actors.
Yoshi is known for her 'doll face' on social media. Not only a sensation on the internet Yoshi also appeared in a music video for Baitoey Rsiam, a world famous Thai country singer. She has also landed a few movie roles and has almost one million followers on Instagram.
Hana was definitely a fan favorite when she auditioned for modeling contest show 'The Face Thailand,' Season 3. Standing out from the crowd Hana was selected to be on the show but was eliminated midway through the competition much to the disappointment of her many fans. But it doesn’t seem to have mattered much, Hana had already developed a strong profile and successful modeling career before joining the show.
Another contestant on The Face Thailand Season 3, Blossom also didn’t make it into one of the coveted top three spots. However prior to the show, Blossom had already wowed fans and won hearts as the first runner up in Thailand’s most prestigious trans pageant, Miss Tiffany’s Universe 2013.
The latest trans beauty to do Thailand proud, Mo won Miss Tiffany’s Universe last year and later won Miss International Queen, the international beauty pageant for transgender women where she represented Thailand. Before receiving her title Mo became famous for her brief appearance on the popular Thai singing show 'I can see your voice,' where she surprised the audience by singing with a masculine voice.
After many years, Poyd remains as one of the most beautiful ladyboys in Thailand. She is the first transwoman that Thais will name and the idol of younger transpeople in the country. Poyd works regionally as an actress, and was named on a list of the 'most beautiful faces' in the world by US film magazine TC Candler.
[Infographic] 10 Ways To Spot A Ladyboy In Thailand

When traveling throughout Thailand, you will not doubt notice just how amusing our habits are to the Thai people,…
If you've ever visited Thailand then you will be in no doubt as to what a 'ladyboy' is. Perhaps…
It seems that everybody knows somebody who has accidentally made out with a ladyboy, or worse. I never thought I’d be one of them, but then again, nobody ever does.
First off, let’s establish what a ladyboy is.
A ladyboy is a transgendered or transvestite individual in Southeast Asia. In Thailand, for example, they are openly tolerated if not embraced and even regarded as good luck charms.
My story takes place between Christmas and New Year’s last year, on Phuket. I would normally avoid what has become such a seedy place like the plague, but it so happened that I had to head there to get a chest x-ray for my Australian visa. While there, I met a group of friends who wanted to check out the ladyboy cabaret. Given that I had nothing better to do, I tagged along.
Ladyboy shows are often a way for ladyboys to save up for the final step of the surgical procedure to become a woman. The performers tend to at least have breast implants, and are quite often absolutely beautiful, and convincing!
I sat through an hour or so of performances in Russian, English, Chinese, and, of course, Gangnam Style, so that every possible member of the audience would be satisfied hearing a song in his/her native language, performed by crystal-adorned ladyboys dancing a little out of sync with smiles plastered on their faces.
After the show, we had an opportunity to take photos with the various performers. One of the more beautiful ones I had noticed on stage beckoned me over.
He (she?) grabbed my hand and slung it over her (his?) shoulder. My friend, Dylan (who attended with me on the pretense that ‘the journalist in him said yes’), snapped a photo just as the unthinkable happened:
The ladyboy stuck my hand down her (his?) top.
It rested there for a few seconds (though it felt like hours) before I realized what was happening. I pulled it back out at lightning speed, completely flabbergasted, as the ladyboy laughed at me.
For the remainder of the night I just kept looking down at my hand, unsure of what to do.
Do I wash it? Sanitize it? Chop it off?
And so, without even meaning to, I made it to second base with a ladyboy. I have now joined the rank and file of tourists in Thailand who have befallen such a fate.
I think the best course of action for me now is to do as the locals do, and regard this as a good luck charm. If nothing else, it makes for one hilarious story.

2015 Update: Transgendered individuals have a hard enough time with acceptance into the societies they were raised in without the burden of someone like me writing a post like this. I’m ashamed for highlighting our differences and instead want to celebrate the beautiful (inwardly and outwardly) and strong women who have the bravery to embrace their lives as transgendered individuals. If this post offends you, it’s because I’m a silly girl without an understanding of the difficulty those who dare greatly to be different. I support you in all that you do, empowered woman. I respect your struggle and promise that moving forward, all that I do in my writing and attitude will reflect that. Much respect where it is due.

Ha! those lady boy shows are definitely entertaining but I missed out on the second base bit… lucky you!
Haha what an experience! I wasn’t able to watch a single lady boy show when I went to Thailand last year 🙁
You’re not realllly missing out on much, honestly.
She doesn’t seem to have silicon… were they real or fake? 😀
Too funny! I’ve been to Phuket twice. I went once with the teachers at my school and once with John because he had never been. Both times, there were funny incidents with lady boys, but the best by far was sending John out to get a few bottles of water one evening and having him come back completely traumatized after a lady boy exposed him/her self at the convenience store!
Ahhhh, goodness. Their faces look so fake!
Not the fakest part, let me tell you!
This is brilliant. Best blog post title I’ve seen in ages! Good on you for being so lighthearted about it. Did no one capture Dylan in any compromising positions?
Good stuff! I just discovered the ladyboy phenomenon in Bangkok, but from a more of a distance than you!
You see them all over SE Asia. Very special
The good news is that he/she was definitely the prettiest of the bunch 😉
Nice and not sure if you’re sunburnt of they are loaded in that ever popular white powder which makes the contrast so intense. ;]
Maybe we could just say I’m tan…Yes, I like tan.
Oh lordy! You poor thing.. but entertaining
Once any straight man spends a night with a pretty lady body, he will very rarely be 100% satisfied with a normal women again. Don’t ask me how I know… I just know ok, lol.
Most amazing comment I’ve seen in a while!
Don’t worry happens to us all eventually – or is it just me. Great blog post btw thanks for sharing.
Haha just dancing with one is no issue, I think people mistake them for women and find out when it’s too late.
Hey, just a heads up, you would call them “she” if they identify as women. If you call a transwoman (which Kathoeys are) “he”, you are misgendering her. If an individual is presenting as a woman, if they have gone to the trouble of undergoing dangerous surgical interventions like these ladies have, if they identify as female, then you most certainly should call them “she”. Not “he-she”. “He-she” is the trans equivalent to the “n” word for African people, or “ f@ggot ” for gay men. It is very offensive. I’m sure no one here meant to be offensive, but now you know!
You’re absolutely right, and I appreciate that you were patient with your response. I don’t mean to offend anyone but I can see how my post could be seen as insensitive.
Hi there 🙂 im glad you had a good time. I am Thai and let me tell you this…I don’t think we consider ladyboys as a good luck charm haha! they are just individuals… but yes they get a lot of attention from the tourists of course 😉
Well Wikipedia was wrong then! Thanks for the correction 🙂
Ladyboys are considered goodluck charm in subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh). I’m from Pakistan, thts why I know this. This might not be the case in other Asian countries. So Hanna is right
Specially when a ladyboy is very hot and a good entertainer, you will surely don’t have a second thought!
Thats one lucky ladyboy i tell ya, cuz your absolutely gorgeous miss kristin
Hahaha, loved this. It certainly is a strange experience over there – very confusing!!!
The real challenge is to get to third base ! They do say it’s like cooking with gas once you’ve tried it you can’t go back to electric if you get my meaning. So a friend of a friend says…..
You’re an extremely hot and sexy lady. and I mean that not just in a physical way, but your whole vibe and style is like that. This is the only travel blog I’ve ever read where I didn’t feel angry at the person who wrote it. Thank you.
Your initial response was natural as transgender is quite different and is hard to understand (especially for me who is raised conservative…talking about understanding, not accepting as that implies I am judging them). Nonetheless what one of the ladyboys did to you was inappropriate. Being different and being treated equally means embracing others for their differences. However it also means that everyone takes responsibility for their actions and doesn’t use his or her difference as an excuse for harassment. What was extraordinary was how in 2015 you had gained sensitivity about transgender and made a sweet appeal to them that you love them like everyone else. It is not easy to admit these things and you keep growing! More things to write to your 21-year old self as a 31 year old!
So you got sexually assaulted by a ladyboy and now you need to apologize for your reaction to it. Got it. No wonder the west is collapsing.
That’s true. I apologize for not recognizing her as a her and making fun of the transition, but she should not have done that, either.
I really see no reason to apologize for writing your experience. Yes ladyboys might have it rough but they don’t have a right to sexually assault you which is exactly what happened. Ladyboys often try to trick unsuspecting people about their gender and often when intoxicated anyone who has been to south Asian knows this for a fact. Respect should be a two way street if you’re not gay you shouldn’t have it pushed upon you and if your gay no one should be be harassing you simply for being gay. Since most people are actually straight it logically follows that the lb in fact knew it was more than likely that your not interested and should know that straight people find the same gender disgusting with respect to sexuality. To argue against that last sentence is to argue against biological necessity and evolution. I can logically be ok with someone practicing their sexuality and at the same time find it not for me.
Interesting that you apologize for not “recognizing her as her”. But, as a biological woman wouldn’t it be normal to not perceive a transgender (man to woman) as a a “real” woman? As a woman you have a whole different set of physiological and life experiences, which are bypassed by a man who becomes a woman. Nothing wrong with a guy becoming a woman, more power to him/her, but it seems a bit of a cheat
I am still trying to understand the nature of your apology that you appended to this article.
What was so offensive that you felt that the need wrote the apology?
Was it your reaction to what some would consider to be tantamount to sexual assault?
You see, there are different ways to spin this.
It seemed like a honest reaction to a real situation to me.
I mean, as a man, if someone with a penis grabbed my hand and put in on their penis, I’d probably be reeling back and looking for hand sanitizer, too.
Does that make me a bad person? I don’t think so.
I don’t even want to imagine what would happen to me if I forced someone’s hands onto my naughty bits.
Anyways, I found your “original” article to be very entertaining and enjoyable.
In reading through the comments I seem to have noticed that perhaps your apology is related to the pronouns.
Well, I was told never to assume pronouns. If you did not ask, and you don’t know… listing both like you did seems to be a valid option.
There are straight gays the cross-dress, but the identify as “he” still. I see plenty of women that dress like men, and at a first glance may even look like men, yet, they go by “she.”
I mean, they call themselves “Lady Boys” in English, so that has both genders mix right into their name.
I would say to any of the trans-folks who chimed in, “shame on you for assuming.”
I think that you did the right thing, initially.
Honestly, I personally don’t feel that it is my job to validate someone else’s subjective view of themselves.

A Ladyboy or Katoey (in Thai) is a transgender or a transsexual and most of them are based in tourist neighborhoods. There are ladyboys in most bars here because simply put, it’s much easier for women to earn more money in these areas. People from South-East Asia have some very specific physical predispositions that allow a lot of people to easily change their gender unnoticeably. That’s why it might be hard to recognize ladyboys on the streets of Thailand, especially if you’re visiting for the first time. I’ve even seen many of them that were just as beautiful as girls , if not even more!
Ladyboys are perceived differently by different kinds of tourists. Some want to avoid ladyboys, others are terrified by them, while some purposely seek them. However, Thai people are known for being very accepting, and in fact, I can say that’s part of their culture. They don’t look at ladyboys in a bad way and are generally not judgmental in regards to the choices that other people make. Be like them!
Personally, I have nothing against transsexuals and they have my full support when it comes to expressing themselves. I just thought it would be a good idea to write this article and give fellow travelers some
