In the same day as the Pattaya zoo the next stop was a ladyboy show in the middle of Pattaya( the ticket stub says Alcazar on it). 100% genuine ladyboys or something like that, good all round family entertainment! while this may be very surreal for westeners it is accepted as normal (to an extent) in thailand. Whole families go to these shows with what look like 10 year old kids dancing along to the show infront of their parents. I'm sure this stuff would be X rated in the US even though it is all fully clothed.
The show consisted of dancing in the traditional style of many different countries (japan/india/china/etc) but then changed into random set pices. One was a "night in the museum" type setting where statues came to life when the guards left, then there was space setting with lots of smoke and strobe lights. There was even one set where the performer was half male and half female split verticaly down the middle, it was a duet by one person.
