Let's go to Thailand!

When someone talks about Thailand, what do you think about it ? Is it magnetic to you?  Here, I am going to introduce the Thai Food as well as the Ladyboys ( Kathoey/male-to-female transgender/人妖)in Thailand!

Thai Cuisine

Tom yam goong nam khon (Prawn tom yam with coconut milk)

          Thai Cuisine must consist of four seasoning (調味料) , Salty, Sour, Spicy and Sweet. Cuisine that contains less than those four taste senses will be considered as unsatisfactory. So, it is not wondering that why the Thai cuisines are colourful! I have tried Tom Yam Goong ( 東蔭公湯)before and that was so spicy, but I love it because of its amazing, special taste. As you can see the picture above, the colour of the soup is red! You can imagine how it tastes, haha  :)  Thai Food is an important element in social occasions, therefore,the Thai cuisines are usually shared by a group of family or friends...Eating Thai food alone is thought as unlucky.

Ladyboys in Thailand ( กะเทย;)

Ladyboys (Kathoey) means Male-to-female Transgender. It is assumed as a third gender in Thailand. Kathoeys are more accepted in the Thai society and Culture than those in other countries.Therefore,they have more choices of work. Meanwhile,Kathoeys are more likely to do female occupations, for instance, assistant in shops or beauty salon. Some of them may also have dancing performance at the entertainment centres. Tourists love taking photos with them!

Let me show you a video of Ladyboys' show.
