Emptor Cave !
Thanks to Local 6 for bring us this headline, "Thai Tourists Warned Of Sedative-Spitting Transvestites." Sorry Bear, looks like you're gonna have to keep your tongue in your mouth.

I heard they (man-girls) would also put the sedatives on their nipples and give free licks. Then they would rob you. Not that it happened to me...
Yeah, I heard about this too (ladyboys using sedatives on thier bee stings), but I'm dubious how well it works. What kind of sedatives are in the form of liquid or jelly to apply it? Don't you think you would taste it? Then again, don't you think you would taste seditives that are spit down your mouth?
I think one would be much more likely to get their drink drugged, especailly in some of the seedy go-go bars. These places are really dark and dank so its hard to get a great look at any of the girls who are not on stage. Then when one comes over and asks you to buy a drink for her, you immediately realize that she is not a she and her voice is a few octives lower than normal. This is when you try to play it cool and give a laconic "sorry, no thank you," and say to your buddy "Wow!, now that's some good sugery..."
I need to post about the quality of ladyboy surgery. It ranges from terrible to outstanding. In fact, it can so outstanding that you can't tell. That's the scary part. For instance, I was in Northen Thailand with Bear and our guide, when the discussion of ladyboys came up. She pointed out a fellow girlfriend guide that looked really cute, petite, and ladylike. I couldn't believe it when she said that she was born a boy. So of course, I went over and asked for her number....
... Ha!

Here's another headline I just read outlining one more fun thing to do in Bangkok:
I Say, Could I Have a Pinch of Salt With My Giraffe Meat?
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — VIP guests at the grand opening for the night safari zoo in northern Thailand will not only get to see exotic animals — they'll also get to taste them.
The Chiang Mai Night Safari Zoo will open officially on New Year's Day, with the "Exotic Buffet" for the event including tiger, lion, elephant and giraffe, said project director Plodprasop Suraswadi.
"VIP guests who pay 4,500 baht ($110) for the buffet will have the privilege of tasting an exotic menu, ranging from dog meat from (Thailand's Sakhon Nakhon province) to lion meat from Africa," he said.
Critics have lambasted the idea, saying it will encourage wildlife trafficking in a country and region notorious for smuggling endangered species for unproven traditional medicinal benefits.
Texas Phil... I guess you have to give it up to Thailand. The host of bizzare headlines and news stories make the local newspapers nearly indecipherable from The Onion.
Hey, I guess you're gonna have to bring the kids to Chang Mai - where else will they be able to try the animals they love?... Is that wrong to say?

So much for trying exotic animals in Chang Mai. The buffet has been cancelled.... and I was totally willing to drop the bones.
