LadyBoys, Motorbikes, and Videotape in Thailand

By Dave Ramsey
My gaydar is severely on the fritz or it just doesn’t pick up Thai lady-boys since their kind subsist in that gray but usually pink area between genders known in Western nomenclature as transvestites or “Trannies”. What a useful word, Tranny. It’s great when your mechanic talks about your tranny. ‘Hmmm there’s your problem there Bub, you dropped your tranny.’  Why do mechanics always use bro type nicknames like ‘Bud or ‘chief’? How about ‘Sir’ you swindling little car monkey. Over $1,000 smackers to replace a part that costs $6.50. Freeze freaking Plug!? Not that I’m bitter or anything.
Either gay, I didn’t know the large kneed lady sitting next to me on the bus in Chiang Mai, Thailand was dudish until Monica mentioned it after the bus dropped its tranny. It got off and we were off to find mini motorbikes to cruise streets and mountains while I filmed at 110 KPH. I have no idea how fast that is in American miles but it felt like I was flying and driving with one hand and hitting bumps did make me a bit nervy.
For about $10 bucks you can rent something like a Honda Super Cub for 24 hours with a helmet which I only wore once when I hit a bump and it fell out of the basket. I drove back to get my helmet and figured God was telling me to put it on but I quickly removed it once I was back in the city trying to look cool while lost cruising the streets looking for the Night Market, and yes only finding more little dudes who love to look like ladies.
You’re supposed to be able to tell by their meaty paws but Thais are really small people so when you see a dude’s hand with cherry red nail polish it doesn’t really stand out at all. And let me tell you that dude was a great salsa dancer but I did have the sneaking suspicion that he/she or it wanted to lead.
Most of the Thai folks are really nice and polite. Honking your horn is considered rude so I did it only every car I whizzed by. Also raising your voice is looked down on so when I was yelling at the pay phone and smashing it into itself I got a lot of fun stares since they are so soft spoken.  In fact very soft spoken so it all kind of plays into what we could say is an effeminate nature.
The little bit of Thailand I saw is filled with nice people and every other person is on a Motorcycle of some kind. It is a lovely country that loves its King and has lots of impersonators of the King, Elvis. Oh and don’t forget these unique coffee places that are everywhere called Starbucks. How quaint, just like ladies with large Adam’s apples cutting me off on my Scooter. They might have fake eyelashes but their testosterone is still real.
