Dare # 7 – Completed – Let’s Here It For Ladyboys

 The things I do for money!

#7 – Overland Travel

OK Dave, I think I have a particularly unoriginal dare that will nonetheless get you out of your comfort zone! When you get there, I dare you to get your picture taken with one of Thailand’s finest ladyboys… :evil: And no cheating – we need evidence of a prominent Adam’s apple and manly hands! (As you know, get someone reliable to take it for you… don’t want anyone running off with your camera!)

Since you will need to get your running shoes on shortly after the pic has been taken – straight to a chemical shower no doubt – I will stick the amount at $50 which should get you a reasonably decent hotel in Thailand for a night.

Enjoy! :evil:

Reward: $50 (to go toward a nice night in a Thai hotel)

Status: Completed

I’d been seeing ladyboys everywhere I went since arriving in Thailand – Th Khao San road in Bangkok, Koh Samui, the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan.

In the throes of an unexpectedly fun first night on Thong Nai Pan Noi, I took a few minutes to have this photo snapped with what in my best judgment (at the time) were 3 ladyboys.  Note the light handhold to try and show off “manly” hands.

This photo still makes me shudder.

    Good on ya Dave!!!

    you got more Balls than me... uhhh, guts than me!
  • Nice pic :p Love the dare idea. My aunt showed me her Thailand pics a while ago and I was super-impressed by how convincing they can be when dressed up. I was -unable- to tell whether a person was male or female in some of the cases.
  • It's certainly a strange phenomenon here. I'm all for people doing what makes them happy, I just think it's wrong if they're being deceitful to land customers (not that I think all ladyboys are working girls...er guys).
  • That's a classic, Dave - good work! I've just donated your "danger money" ;) Hope you can put it towards a nice hotel...

    Safe travels, Steve
  • Thats my sister Dave!
