Been wondering what t-girls are? I thought maybe they are girls who serve tea, or might they possibly be “Wet T-Shirt Girls”. I was wrong on both counts, after a quick Google I discovered t-girls is another name for what we call kathoeys or ladyboys in Thailand, transgenders as they are commonly known.

I took the above photo in Walking Street on New Year’s Eve on my way to the fireworks display, these Thai 2 t-girls were getting lots of attention from the camera touting tourists who by and large are fascinated by the ladyboys of Pattaya. Thailand has a large percentage of kathoeys, and many of them choose to move to Pattaya and other popular Thailand toursit destinations, not always by choice but through necessity, more of which is explained in Thai land of ladyboys.
