Bangkok's 'ladyboy' cabaret shows are professional, elaborate theatrical productions — a distinct part of Bangkok's entertainment scene.
Calypso Cabaret at Asiatique and several other venues offer 70–90 minute shows with elaborate costumes, lip-synced performances, and choreography.
Tourists of all orientations, Thai families, bachelorette parties — these are mainstream entertainment, not adult shows.
Tickets 900–1,500 THB including a drink; book ahead for seats as popular shows sell out.
The performers are professionals proud of their craft — engage respectfully, tip generously if taking photos with performers after the show.
