In Bangkok, a form recently surfaced at a hotel in Nana, and it has gone viral. It tells guests to be aware that "the person" -- an allusion to a prostitute -- they are bringing to the room could be a "ladyboy".

Very Poor form
"Have you negotiated the price before he [the ladyboy] is going to your room?" asked the aforementioned form, which also extended a warning for the guests to be careful of thievery when they encounter these "entertainment people".
Bangkok is known to farangs for a lot of things: cheap street food, grand temples, even grander shopping malls, and -- undeniably, even though the government and conservatives would never accept it -- our red-light districts.
With red-light districts and prostitution (which is still illegal, by the way, despite everything), another thing that's associated with the two is, unfortunately, transgender women -- also being referred to as ladyboys and katoeys.
Over the years, stories of their crimes and misconduct have been a regular commodity in the news, often reported in a tone of exotic excitement and colourful debauchery -- from cases of conflicts like brawling and stealing from tourists, to drug-related charges and more.
