‘Amazing Thailand’ has become more like a slogan these days. And there is more than one valid reason for such an adjective being attached to Thailand in context of travel and tourism. As you travel to this great country, there are so many things to see, do, and participate in. Chances are high that you will also come across at least one ladyboy or katoey. As a matter fact, the presence of this katoey, which is like a nickname given to the Thai ladyboy, makes an increasing number of tourists consider Thailand to be a place so ‘amazing’. There are several misconceptions about the presence of the ladyboy in Thailand. Many people think that this phenomenon is a result of the Western influence in the culture of Thailand. With the recent boom in tourism in the country, they feel, the concept of the katoey has been imported in the cities like Phuket or Pattaya. It is a totally wrong thinking. As a matter of fact, the real reason behind the presence of the katoey in Thailand in such a high proportion is the tolerant nature of the Thai society. They are allowed to express themselves and not repressed as is so common with so many nations. Apart from the various aspects of sightseeing and the multitude of activities that you can get involved in once you are in Thailand, the idea of dating somebody too may creep in to your mind. And there is nothing wrong in it? Isn’t it? After all, you are here to enjoy life. So you need to take it all the elements that it has on offer. You may also cherish the idea of experiencing a date that will be unique and totally one of its kind. Well, in this connection let me tell you something that is very specific and unique to Thailand only. As I have told earlier, as you experience the unique features of this great country of Thailand and in the process spend some considerable time here, chances are high that you will get to meet one or the other katoey. There is an unbelievably high number of the so called ladyboys in the country. Many people site many different reasons behind the presence of so high a number of these transgender people in the country. Many people, at least apparently, detest the idea of even talking about the katoeys, but not all are so closed minded. As a matter of fact, there are several people who even consider the idea of dating some katoey. As a mater of fact, one of the most unpredictable things in the whole world is the human psyche. Hence there are actually many men who love to opt for a dating with the famous Thai katoeys. This, as they say, adds a flavor to life that is totally unique in its own way.
