Hi guys

Im new to the forum and want to thank all of you for this great site

Im going to LOS in march and will be staying at the Will Wait in Ko Samui for a week. Was wondering if anyone had been to this place before and also how the LB sceen in on Samui (Lamai).

Best regards

[Beerlao]

there is a very good cabaret (galaxy I think) right in the centre of lamai - they also end up in the disco next door.
there are a few in the small bars but in my opinion ko samui is very anti ladyboy these days and many hotels wont let them in.
small bars now charge top dollar for low level entertainment
you might nip up to chaweng to have a look at Christies which is also very good cabaret
beach is excellent for swimming

Samui scene starts late, girls in Chawang come out around 2am

[Rick O'Shea]

Last year Chaeweng had three LB cabarets, Christies being one of them and, I regret, I can't remember the others. However, they are advertised on the free maps that every tourist outlet seems to give away. Last year, there were a lot of LBs in Chaeweng in particular and I met them in the bars where they mixed with GGs.

You could try setting up a few phone numbers beforehand. Try www.transgenderdate.com (free to register) or www.ladyboykisses.com which costs.

Friends tell me that Samui had a poor high season which may mean that many bars may be closed and the freelance population moved on somewhere (like home). Having said that, on the upside, I have never felt that Samui has had a downer on LBs. If my sole purpose was mongering, I would go to Chaeweng. If I wanted beach life and a generally more laid back holiday, I'd stay in Lamai. You can always take a public taxi (what in pattaya would be called a baht bus) from Lamai to Chaeweng in the evening bearing in mind that, however much it cost to get there, it will be double to get back!

Beware of the yellow private taxis - they make the Phuket taxi drivers seem like the epitome of charitable behavour.

Thx for the response guys

Gaahh,
The scene on Chaweng Beach start indeed late but you will find LB's also in soi Green Mango. On the end of the soi you have disco Green Mango. Just befor you enter
Green Mango you have bar Sweet Soul in front of Sweet Soul you have also LB's mostly after midnight. You also have the Sound Bar that at a soi behind Green Mango.
You have 3 cabaret show at Chaweng Christy, Starz cabaret its at Khun Chaweng Shopping Center in the back and you have Starclub its near leam Din market. After shows you have a chance to pick up a LB.
Some ladyboys work at bars in soi Reggae pub.
At night time the LB's driving on motorbikes along the beach road.


About the yellow taxi its true they charge you to much, avoid them.
Every LB will bring you home on her motorbike.
Have a nice trip, its a great island.

I'm going to Samui in about 6 weeks and see people recommending Chaweng. Just looked at it on google maps and found this.

It's right next to the airport runway, I mean walking distance!. Is that not a problem?

lol. I wasn't planning to actually walk it.

I meant isn't it noisy in Chaweng being right next to airport?

[bkkldby]

samui can be a nice place and it was where i first went in '88, '89 and '90. that was when the island was all dirt roads except the ring road, there was no airport, and Lamai was a boxing camp and one disco. Chawaeng was the Mango disco and some guest houses and bungalows.

needless to say the island has become much more in the last 25 years and the island is now considered to be over-built. an expat friend of mine (who i met at Guess Bar and is into LBs) was transferred there in the fall by his company and he says what everyone is saying, FL and late at night, that is the scene, but not too bad if you know where and when to show up. i will try to get some more info from him and pass it on. but can not promise that.

ok, spoke to my firend and here's the scoop as of today:

Its all happening late. he goes to dinner, hangs around and has some drinks, relaxes and then hits the bricks.

2 Places -

Chrysties Cabaret in Chawaeng, next to the Burger King, it starts at about 11:00 pm

OR

Soi Green Mango also Chawaeng, starts about 01:30 am

he says Lamai is scant on LB action but it is known for the moto-hoes (LBs on motorbikes.) also very late.

he says pickin's are good and there are many girls out and about but it all starts very late.

BTW: he is a picky guy and if he says there are choices i tend to believe him.

going rate is, and i quote: "similar to Pattaya, 1,000 is not quiet enough and 2,00 is a bit too much."

in regard to the locals on Samui, they have one of the strongest mafias in TH and i believe it is controlled by only 2 or 3 families. the fact, as is also mentioned, that business has been slow is a double edged sword. it will be peaceful and uncrowded, some things may be better bargained for, but the locals will be hurting and many will be more aggressive and asking a noob for more than what things really do cost.

do not argue with local transport on Samui, it is not worth the grief. just try to understand what things cost and that you are at tehir mercy once the sun goes down.

on my last trip a few years ago i found many of the locals to be impolite.

ps - look on your tourist map and find the waterfalls inland, a nice afternoon swimming there is always a joy if the water level i up. be careful diving into the pool there though, it can be shallow in parts.

the Jungle Canopy tour is also great and a goods outing. run by farangs and staffed by Thais i found it to be exhilarating and safe. i actually went during a rain storm and had a blast, no problem, and not so hot and the mosquitoes are not flying around when it rains. after the rain, they swarm.

hi there.
i spent about 6 months in samui last year..although i am still a LB virgin. let me tell you that there is no dedicated bar for LBs in samui apart from the cabaret clubs. but i dont really see them as pick up places..full of families..but you might get lucky! there are plenty of LBs on the chaweng beach road after midnight but beware they have a bad rep. i actually got pickpocketed by one as i was stumbling back to my hotel. she followed me up the road asking if i want a good time, then she jumped off and started feeling me up and then swiped my wallet and disapeared into the night! i was seeing this gg from billabong bar, which is in lamai in a complex of outdoor bars and they had a few niceish LBs in there. infact in that whole open bar complex there is a few scatered round mixed with the GGs but none compare to the beauties of pattaya!! just have to look around i suppose. but avoid the freelancers from chaweng beach road at all costs..i heard to much bad stuff about them!

there is also a some which hang round near the green mango nightclub which is in chaweng and i seen some in a place called sweet soul cafe which is near the green mango..this is a gay bar i think as i found out after walking in..having a beer and loads of thai blokes winking at me...i swiged my beer down and left...not for me!!

happy hunting!

[Lin]

Thanx,

LB Hunting in Chaweng is tough
1) Bars on the road going to Reggae Lounge, very hit and miss. There is no LB bar, just the occasional LB working at a regular bar.
2) Green Mango area, they get out LATE like after 2am
3) There is a restaurant with some LB at the Southern end of Chaweng, go down to First Bungalows and follow the road inland, look for a Thai/German restaurant.

bophut - even harder to find. I want with a local and we found one.

[Dbow]

Just a short update.
I went to get some dinner and ended up with a table in front of the Moulin Rouge LB cabaret entrance in Chaweng center.
I think the last show starts around 11PM. Until then 3-5 pretty good looking LBs try to invite the super frightened tourists from outside. Kind of a show itself. Many uncertain gentlemen tend to camp on the other side of the road judging each others willingness towards the matter
It was very entertaining to see people's first reaction.

Anyway, after midnight (when show ends) more LBs are coming out and stay around street level (about 5). Most of the ladies (I guess show players) just simply leave on their motorbike (a scooter is a must on Samui... even dogs have them ...) but some stay behind and tries to hook on men wandering around. They seems to be picky though: young, good or rather wealthy looking people likely to have an advantage.

As for the LB "containing" bars towards Reggae Pub, low level life starts around 10-11PM, there seems to be more of them after midnight. Quality is OK. Kind of fluctuating, I spoted two pretty stunning girls the others are somewhat ok, but definitely not high class. In Reggae bar there are some LBs enjoying themselves on the dance floor. They seem to launch on anyone they like (just like GGs). One of them tried to motivate me by returning each minute giving me a kiss on the head, cheeks, lips etc. Quality is ok, but most of them look less classy and slender than any girls in the gogo bars of Patts or Bangkok.

I hope for more to report. We will see.

One can only assume you have not found Lilly then. The best looking girl in Samui without any doubt and I paid for her tits LOL. However don't mention my name or you will be soon chastised for any possible connection.

By the way - she is totally in the FAH camp of good looking ladyboys.

[Dbow]

Hmm I scanned them yesterday again had some chat with a few but I was kinda in a hurry so I might have missed Lilly. Would you please describe who should I look for? Or let me get one of those airport arrival signs saying "Ms. Lilly?" and walk around a bit?
Maybe a picture of her?

I found a very stunning (and expensive) postop from Singapore though... adventure riport will follow but she is about to wake up in my bed and I hope we still have something to do...
