Simon Cabaret

Patong, Thailand

These are some photos from the world famous Simon Cabaret in Patong on Phuket Island in Thailand. I had a number of friends from Thailand in school and whenever I talked about want to someday visit Thailand and Phuket Island, they always mentioned that I had to see the Simon Cabaret show. Actually, I think Ting's mother was the most excited about seeing the show! She jumped at the chance to go when our tour guide mentioned it as a possible evening activity for us.

Why is it so famous? You'll see...

Okay, now you may be thinking you understand why this show is world famous--the women are gorgeous! The only thing is that they aren't exactly women...this is a transvestite show! Yes, all these "women" actually are, or were, men! Obviously, some of them have had surgery, but it is quite amazing! Watching the stage show you would never guess that they could be (or were) men. But they mingle with the crowd afterwards and will pose for pictures for a small tip. Then you can tell up close they aren't really women because all of them are very tall and have deep voices. Pretty scary! 1
