Loving the Loveless Ladyboys of Bangkok.
Bangkok, night and day, light and dark.
A city that cannot be defined, just like the beautiful ladyboys who work and live there. A journey through the dark into the light and back again.
Follow the author on a nine-month ride through the city and down the deep soi of imagination, lust, love and sexuality. It may be a ride you did not bargain for. |

Ladyboy Baby
A good read and if you've ever wondered about traveling that road is a pretty good introduction to the Ladyboy underground of Thailand. You know you're interested. Take a look!

This is a love story of Bangkok - this story has balls!

Brutally honest and very real review of life of ladyboys working in bars in LOS. Of course the bars and the night life is not what LOS is all about but it is still a important part of most farang's exposure or engagement in LOS
Falling in love with a bar LB or falling-out? Read this :-) May be for getting to know a state of relationship you'll probably never get to know or simply for entertainment!
If you are one of those who judge others you might find the author something like a whorist, poet, saint, sinister, pimp, opportunist, lover, master or whatever - but he wouldn't give a fck what others think :-)
all i can say is - he is hell of an author !!!

Bangkok Baby
Whether you are thinking about going to meet the fascinating Thai ladyboys or are have already experienced their company, you will undoubtedly learn from this book. It is written by a man who has been there, done it, is still doing it and is willing to share a wealth of insightful knowledge.
The writer sometimes flips between times and girls with no notice but you just hang in there and overlook this as he succeeds in painting a vivid picture of life among the ladyboys.

Whether you are thinking about going to meet the fascinating Thai ladyboys or are have already experienced their company, you will undoubtedly learn from this book. It is written by a man who has been there, done it, is still doing it and is willing to share a wealth of insightful knowledge.
The writer sometimes flips between times and girls with no notice but you just hang in there and overlook this as he succeeds in painting a vivid picture of life among the ladyboys.
Mr Bonnie avoids lecturing on the subject and uses his personal tales of love and lust to take us into the ladyboys’ world. By weaving some of his conversations with his katoey friends into the explicitly recounted tales of his sexual exploits, he also allows us to learn about the poverty and hardships which form their backgrounds and we are left with no illusions about their being just “guys in frocks”. These are real women born into men’s bodies – 'ladies of the second kind' - and their lives are not easy!
While avoiding folklore and talking only of his personal expriences, Mr Bonnie, perhaps unconsciously, uses his own love affair to indicate what falling for a ladyboy can do to a man. They are 'same same - but different' so tread carefully if you believe that you can play around with these exciting ladies. Treat then well and they will love you like no women want to, but cross them and they will eat you up and spit out the bones. Are you man enough to meet them?
You might find out by reading this highly recommended book.
'You couldn't make this up!'

Bangkok Baby
Tony ward is a bitter man whom is a member of the BMP and tried to con his way in to a free trip to Thailand to get his 15 minutes fame on a show about ladyboys, a subject he knows nothing about. He as proved himself to be of false character.
Back to the gutter where you belong Tony.
On the other hand David whom I have met a fair few times in Thailand and have shared stories while relaxing in the bars or the Korean Sauna is a very astute character and a true friend.

Response to Tony W
Dear Tony,
Sorry you were disappointed with the book but at least you read it ????
I am very surprised that you can hold a contrary opinion considering that you have never been to Thailand or dated a Ladyboy.
I hope you watch the upcoming channel 4 program which of course you are no longer a part of.
Please don't try to slur transgender people or the those more tolerant than you who care about them any further.
Please don't be angry . . . let it go now Tony.

Bangkok distortion
The book has its moments, but is not accurate and honest. The author makes an attempt to share his feelings regarding ladyboys that work in Bangkok. His description of the thinking and rationale of ladyboys is way off. David Bonnie should stick to writing childrens books because he know nothing about ladyboys.

Distorted view from Bangkok Baby author
The author is a UK resident who is lost in Bangkok. His views are far fetched and hold no truth. I was very disappointed when I read this book as I was seeking some value as it relates to Ladyboys. All I found was fantasy mixed with emotions from a failed relationship with a ladyboy. If fiction is what you seek then this is a mediocre read. If you are looking for some value then I suggest you look at other, more serious authors. This book gets two thumbs down from me.

Botticelli
Great read.
Could totally relate to the part about wondering if LadyBoys had something else to offer in a relationship since the ones with women don't always work out. I tried many times, and to me it is the same B.S (same same, but different.) Now, it's just "I'll take love wherever I can get it" kind of attitude. But
I know every feeling you describe. Very nice writing, I love the simile "like looking at a Botticelli." This is almost too good. If you're making this up, I will hunt you down. For the moment, I will suspend disbelief and let myself be sucked into your story. Jason (online re... ... ... [+]

Bangkok Baby
Like you, I have shed many tears. This is a bit of a clash with Thai culture, where men are never supposed to cry in front of anyone else. I used to tell my girlfriend that crying is a sign of strength, that only someone very confident would dare to cry openly, but we will never change their cultural perceptions. A few times she has reminded me just how much she cries when no one is around. RT(online review)

Brings Thailand so close I can smell it!
... Dark shadows of red and black shaped her face, an expensive piece of modern art that no-one understands. ...
... She sat next to me on a ‘little bus’. People stared. Her smooth, naked leg touched mine. I thought about animals. ...
This has to be the best thing i have read about living in Thailand in a very long time. So close to home i can smell it.
Thanks for this, thanks for taking us along, and thanks for sharing something obviously private. B (Online review)

Excellent writing and story! Thanks for taking the time to share. My first trip to Bangkok was this past Oct. and I remember sitting in the hotel room thinking "Am I ready for this?" All turned out well and good times were had. Tomm (BKK Ladyboy Forum)

Bangkok Baby
Back in my bed again.
Back in my heart again.
As we exit the MRT at Huay Kwang the sky is heavy.
2AM, She walks along Sukhumvit, she knows where you will be. Her radar never fails. Between soi 5 and 7, the final chapter in tonight’s Bangkok story is about to be written.
Clap Clap Clap !!!
Didn’t see so many times that words can get so close to reality, or at least to what’s real to me!
