Calypso puts on a great show, with lots of feathers, Chinese opera, dancing ostriches and (for one brief instant) total nudity onstage!
They can make boobs like that in Thailand? Hmm. Maybe I need to look into this . . .

DAY TWO: CALYPSO CABERET
The Patravadi Theater was booked up on this night, so for a little something different we saw the Kathoey Caberet at the Asia Hotel. Kathoey is Thai for male-to-female transsexual and is sometimes called "Thailand's third gender." The procedures for making the transition are relatively cheap here (about 10.000 USD) and the society is tolerant of gender nonconformity.
