The world fist introduced me to transsexuals when I was eighteen years old watching Alan Partridge. I did not understand the term ‘lady-boy’ or ‘chick-boy’ so I asked Google.<span><span><span><span> I have laughed along at that particular episode which is one of my favourites but never truly grasped what a lady-boy is or does as I have not taken the time to consider...

In a nutshell; I am Jess. I was 27 years old, and left a wonderful teaching job in search of unemployment and volunteer opportunities across the other side of the world. Some say it's foolish, I was inclined to agree but these experiences altered me in ways I never imagined possible. I accomplished dreams, re-found lost passions, set up a charity in Sapa, taught in Cambodia, established a teaching course in Vietnam and published articles and photos for magazines and books. ... full info

Very tastefully written.
A good friend of mine is in a long term relationship with a transgendered person, I've witnessed the way people have treated both of them so have a little knowledge on the prejudices faced, albeit very limited knowledge. I think most people fear what they do not understand but your blog shows that you are not one of those people. Fantastic blog. And yet again, great pictures too.

Didn't you grow up watching Dame Edna?
We always enjoyed her show on BBC. I think she could be classified as a lady boy, although not as attractive as those in your pictures. The Thai have always acknowledged that there are three sexes, even before contact with the West; male, female and lady boys, called gatoey in Thai. Lady boys feature in John Burdett novels about Bangkok; i.e., "Bangkok Eight" and "Bangkok Tatoo." If you want something to read that delves into the underbelly of Bangkok, give these and his other books a try.

Thank you - I'll give those books a read when I gat back to Bangkok. As I say, my knowledge is limited so would be good to be enlightened

My favorite...
Hello! Absolutely awesome pictures. 36 is the best. Admire your style and quality of photos every time. I am just wondering what kind of lens did you used for Bangkok's chick-boys. I've got a feeling that it might be 50mm f1.8?? Do you have a list of your equipment somewhere?? All the Best Tomek
