First Time In Pattaya - Part 2

Read Part 1 here:

Though the next day was planned to have a relaxing time in Koh Larn followed by a Traditional Thai Massage and small shopping, I decided to walk in the night with my friends through the Beach Road which gave Pattaya the title "Sin City". In the morning, Speed boats took us to the islands and I had a good time enjoying the beach till afternoon.  Koh Larn is a coral island near Pattaya famous for its beautiful beach and water activities including Parasailing, Water scooter rides, banana rides,etc. 

The Beach road and the infamous "Walking street" are alive only after sunset. Therefore, after dinner, by around 10:30, we started our walk. On one side of the Main road, there are many hotels, shopping malls, bars and massage parlours. On the other side of the main road, there is a beach road and then the sea. In the beach road, there are ladies and lady boys who try to attract the men in any group. There we saw a lot of guys bargaining with those hookers. "No Money No Honey" is their slogan. And finally, we reached our destination of the night - "Walking Street". We were very careful with our money as robbery is very common there. 

And here, I was getting a bigger picture of the sex tourism in Pattaya. 

The Walking street has dance bars and brothels on either sides playing music in high volume. They all are decorated with various colored dancing lights. In front of every bar, girls and lady-boys can be seen. Some of them were doing make-up, some of them were adjusting their dress just to get the attraction of the people passing by, and some of them were dancing to the tunes played there. I was looking at their faces and trying to make out what it really showed. Also, there were many shows in each of these buildings. There were guys standing outside inviting every person to come in and watch their show. They were even distributing the show's pamphlets. One of them read -'You can watch beautiful girls writing with pussy, throwing balls with pussy, doing that with pussy, this with pussy, blah blah blah...' What????? Pattaya is becoming rude or what?

Bars, brothels and cabaret performances on either sides of walking street...

Anyways, we paid 400 Baht and went for one of the shows. Its a small room with an amoeba shaped stage in the middle and a bar on one side. We were sitting just down the stage to watch the show. I was really terrified to know how badly they were using their private organs. How are these girls going to have a normal life? One girl even put a sharp edged item in to her private part and called that item as balloon bursting rocket. And then she exhaled air which in turn threw this rocket to burst a balloon kept in one of the spectator's hands. I could not clap my hands when the balloon burst. I was thinking about these girls, and their miserable condition which made them a part of these kind of shows. I don't think that anyone in proper sense would enjoy these kind of shows. And moreover, I was kinda bored sitting and watching this.

Then, her friends asked a few of us to write our names in a small paper. When this small paper is handed on to the girl on stage, she took an A4 sized paper and a sketch pen. The paper was kept on the floor and this sketch pen was put inside her private part and then, she started writing the name given to her in big bold letters. She took enough time to write it down and when finished, she showed that to everyone. One person commented "It is no more hand writing. In Pattaya, it is pussy writing". We made jokes on this then. But now, when I think, there is a hard and cruel reality behind that.

There were many programs like this as a part of this "ping-pong show".  This "writing girl" put a banana to the same part and exhaled air to throw this out. One another girl was trying to catch this banana in a plate. If she failed to catch this banana, they asked the spectators to cheer them up. And the same banana which fell on the floor was put in to the private part again. Haven't they heard of hygiene? All these are just game for them. Their life is like a game in Pattaya. A game played by themselves and a lot of people and watched by a group of spectators like us. But this rocket girl didn't even smile much. She was doing her part of the job like a machine. What all they put inside their vaginal cavity !! A long flower garland, razor blades, candles, cigarettes...  Yes.. Cigarettes..! She was smoking through her vagina. Can you believe it? In the whole trip, I felt that Thailand people are not good at hospitality. They were getting angry on everyone for nothing. But after this show, I smiled at everyone even when they were rude to me.

Girls and lady boys always stand infront of the go-go bars in walking street..

Most of the bars there had small rooms on top. If anyone likes the any of the bar girls, they can pay them and take her to the rooms at the top. When we were watching this show, one girl was trying to befriend our male friends. Even if you don't want to take them to rooms, they have another "packages". Give 100 Baht, they will sit next to you for 10 minutes and allow you to touch their body. Give more, they will give you nice massages till the show gets over. These are not just Thai girls. Russians, Burmese are all there. Some of them are even trafficked and brought here. But, men should be very careful in Thailand. AIDS and STDs are very common here though the bar girls in big bars get tested every month.

The walk through the walking street was a lesson for me. Life is not easy as we think. Sometimes, we become very sad and curse everyone for the bad things happening in our life. There are people who even try to smile and make others happy though they go through worse conditions in their life. 

By night 3pm, we reached back our rooms and joined the rest of our friends. But night was lively and colorful outside. 

Even in Bangkok, we came across a smaller version of 'Walking Street'. By the time, I was thinking too much about what I have seen in Pattaya, and the miserable conditions of these young girls and guys.  It was really haunting me. Therefore, I focused on the famous Bangkok street food, fruits and shopping. And I really enjoyed it. The whole 5-day trip was a new experience and a life lesson for me. 

Yes! There is a place named Pattaya where you see a lot of things which you cannot see elsewhere.

And that was my first time in Pattaya !

First Time In Pattaya - Part 1

OMG !!!!!

I have never been to a place like this before !!!!

Okay, let me talk about my travel experience in Thailand. 

Before I went to Thailand, I knew that Thailand is very famous for ready made clothes & brands, tailoring and sex tourism. So I had a concept that there will be malls, bargain markets, lido shows (topless dance shows), massage parlours with happy ending massages and bars to booze. 

My first day in Thailand was in Pattaya. Pattaya is 1.5 hours away from Suvarnabhumi Airport. The roads in Pattaya looked like any Indian town. And later in the afternoon, I attended the Alcazar Cabaret show. Before I visited the show, the guide informed me that the performers in the show are not girls though they look like beautiful girls. They are the lady boys of Pattaya. 

Pattaya, is famous for the Lady Boys or the She Males. 

In Pattaya, there are 3 different categories of Lady Boys. (May be more categories I'm not aware of)

1. Men, with all male organs, dressed as ladies. 
2. Men, with silicon breasts, and beautiful figures, dressed as ladies. Pattaya visitors, who think these lady boys as ladies, and try to have sex with them will get a surprise ending as their reproductive organ will be the same as men. But there are many who come to Thailand to have sex with these Lady boys.
3. Men, completely changed to ladies, with silicon breasts and no penis.

But in all the above cases, they have male voice which helps us to identify them.

Outside the Alcazar theater, there were more than 2 dozen very beautifully dressed ladies posing for photos with the visitors. They were taking 40 Baht (= 4.5 AED) or more for standing in these photos. Though I didn't take a photo with them, I noticed that they were very rude in handling people. I was surprised to know that they were not ladies, but men. Oh Sorry, the lady boys. They all looked so colorful in their stunning costumes and were calling all the people standing around them for taking photos. Along with them, there were men to control the crowd.

You are mistaken !! They are men. Not ladies. .
They are the lady boys of Pattaya in their stunning costumes standing infront of the Alcazar theater.

And then we got into the theater to watch the live performance. There were many well choreographed dance performances and the stage changes between each performance was so quick and amazing. They danced to the Indian, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Japanese and Western tunes. All were preformed by Lady-boys with stunning figures of a girl. In a few of the performances, they were showing princess, and it was tough to believe that, that princess was not a lady. There was also humour in it performed by a fatty lady-boy. She (he? I'm confused. I may say he or she) was making everyone laugh by her figure and gestures.And then she even came to the audience and made humour after making two men touch and rub her big breasts. I was feeling a little shy then, but could not control laughter. At the end of the show, a lady boy performed as both the genders - i.e. half of him was dressed as man and the other as a lady. After the show, we saw the lady boys outside posing for the photos. Then, I took a lot of snaps and even sent a few through whatsapp to my friends. None of my friends could believe that they were boys. 

The performances in the Alcazar theater

One lady boy dressed in half as a lady and the other half as a man. 

Then, we went for another show called as Big Eye Show. I went with my friends - another lady and 2 men. Prior to this, I have attended the lido shows in Paris and therefore I was a little disinterested to spend 800 Baht for this show. With an "I know all this" attitude, I told my friends that there will be a lot of nudity in this. Among us, I was the first to walk in and the first sight of the show threw me into a speechless state. Our first sight was a couple doing sex on stage. Then the bouncer boys showed us seats. When I sat down, I found that it was not one couple - there were 3 couples doing the same. I was shocked!!! Though sex is not a taboo now-a-days, it is still done in closed rooms and were not talked about much. And here, I'm watching it along with hundreds of people. I didn't even look at my friends (and they were not looking at me as well) for the next 10 minutes. Then, as I could not believe my eyes, I asked my lady friend (who  is also equally stunned and surprised) whether THEY ARE REALLY DOING IT ?????? A blank look was the answer.

It was not like a proper stage show like Alcazar show. There were audience sitting on all 3 sides on steps (like a stadium) and the performance was in the middle of everyone. The seats were completely occupied. This show was shown in a cyclic manner. It starts and never stops in between. Every hour, the performance is repeated. So at whatever time you get in, after 1 hour, you will be asked to leave. 

In the entire show, nudity show was at its maximum. Even if they came to performance area in shorts or bikini, they made sure that they removed it before they left the floor. It was the same for all men, ladies and lady boys in the show. In between a pole dance, a lady removed her top and bottom while swinging on air holding only one hand on the pole.  Another surprising factor of the show was that the girls with beautiful breasts also had dicks. Yes! They are the lady boys. The men performers in the show were lean and short, but their dick size was almost equal to their arm. And above all, these performers came to the audience and asked us to touch their private parts. Most of the girls in the audience were yelling when they came near. Thankfully, then never came to our side. By the time, we tried to hide our shyness and to overcome the shyness, we started talking about the show, performers and even joked at it.

While coming back, there were many massage parlors on either sides of the road offering traditional Thai massage, foot massage and sensual and erotic massages with happy endings. A few of them were big enough with a very good interior designed with yellow bulbs. In such parlours, there will be a big room where in you can see the pretty Thai girls dancing. Yes men, you can choose them and take them to any of the small rooms inside to get the massage done. 

Yes. Now I got a small picture of Pattaya.
