Bangkok is internationally known for its excellent ladyboy shows. Thai culture in general is much more accepting of both ladyboys and transexuals than Western society. As such, the country plays host to numerous cabarets that feature ladyboys entertaining audiences.. Held at the beautiful and newly upgraded riverside venue Asiatique, the Calypso Ladyboy Cabaret is one of Bangkok’s best. The ladyboys were born as men and dress as women in full costume, withmany of them having breast implants.

Not to be confused with the city’s more avant-garde and risqué shows, Calypso Cabaret offers ladyboy entertainment at its most palatable. But don’t mistake that for bland or boring! The ladyboys’ sparkling stage presence, glamorous get-ups, and enthusiastic performances will have you smiling and tapping your feet throughout. During the shows, the Thai performers dress up as Hollywood old-school celebrities and sing show tunes, as well as songs from a variety of countries. Families and more conservative tourists will enjoy a Calypso Cabaret show just as much as the next person.
