Episode Synopsis
Episode 03 - The Men Who Love Ladyboys
Around one percent of the Thai population are ladyboys: men who use hormone therapy and surgery to transform themselves into women. The results are often so astonishing that many Western men who visit Thailand can't resist a closer look.
Like many divorced Western men 42-year-old Scott came to Thailand to enjoy the company of the world famous bargirls. Scott was in for the shock of his life when, alone in a bedroom with a ladyboy companion, he discovered there was more to this beautiful woman than he had anticipated. Before long he was seeking more and more ladyboys for company. Scott is now engaged to Paeng, a former prostitute who has given up her previous life to be with him.
Ex-pat Englishman David lives in Bangkok and is playing the ladyboy dating game. He's already had more than 16 encounters with ladyboys, but has tired of easy and sleazy company, and is now looking for love. David is on his third date with ladyboy, Annie. It's a fledgling relationship, subject to mistrust and jealously. Will this relationship be another flash-in-the-pan, or will it develop into something more stable? Both David and Scott say they are straight. They insist that if they were gay, they would be attracted to men, whereas ladyboys are ultra-feminine - they just happen to have an extra body part.
