Beautifully Bangkok

One of the great quirks of Thai culture is the ability to balance deep-rooted conservativism with high levels of tolerance and integration. The case in point: Bangkok’s astonishing population of transvestites and transsexuals (katoeys) who are almost universally accepted. Many work in normal jobs but some of the more flamboyant members of the ladyboy community take to the stages of transgender cabaret. The best of the lot is the professional Calypso Cabaret (www.calypsocabaret.com) – well worth dropping in for one of their two nightly shows.
