Flamming Heart Thai Katoey

By Thai-Eyes | March 5, 2010

Thai Katoeys, the third sex, in English called Ladyboys, Transvestites or Drag Queens,
are widely accepted in Thailand. Most Thai Katoeys live in bigger cities,
as in small rural villages they´ll have a hard stand.
Many Kathoeys are well educated and a lot of them study at an university.
Are they more clever or intelligent than “normal” people,
we mean Yes.
Another thing about Thai Katoeys is, that they are mostly very funny people,
they feel like they´re on stage all the time.

At the picture below You´ll see one of our best friends,
a Thai Katoey, name Taeng.
We know her (him ?) more then 20 years.
Since a few years she´s working in a key position for a cable TV station in Chiang Mai,
she´s involved in many social projects and in HIV informing for young Thai people,
especially Thai Hill Tribes.
Now maybe You´ll think, that must be a quite serious person,
not at all !
Taeng is one of the most funny guys we ever met,
we enjoyed a relaxing fun-afternoon in the swimming pool with her
and she showed us that also a swimming pool,
could be used as a stage for the self presentation
of a flamming heart.

Jai Yen Yen Keep Cool Baby

By Thai-Eyes | March 4, 2010

One of the most important behaviours in Thailand
is to keep a Jai Yen, a cold heart. So keep cool Baby !
Jai jen, translated as cold heart means self-controlled,
cool or even-tempered.
The opposite of Jai yen is Jai ron,
hot-tempered, furious or annoyed.
If You want to clear some kind of a problem in Thailand
You should always do it with a Jai yen and a smile,
even if You´re very angry. Don´t show it !
Keep cool Baby !
If You behave hot-tempered and start to shout to somebody,
You will loose Your face and You will earn nothing more
than a compassionate smile.
So keep Your countenance !
Jai yen yen !
Keep cool Baby !
