Within minutes of finding my bearings in Ko Tao I run into a lovely English gal, also traveling on her own. We both agree we want to go on a hike the following day but with her map and our sense of direction it looks like we are going to get lost. I need one of those colorful maps with cartoons and a legend for anything to make sense and hers looks like a proper pirate map.
We decide, even after the full moon party, we need a night on the town. Luckily for me there is a place called Queen's Cabaret and a lady boy show every night. This was such an experience! The costuming, make up, and fake boobies were out of this world. They had amazing choreography and always do numbers with several tranny's flailing about from Britney to J.Lo to Gaga. I walked by during the day and they were rehearsing, it's unreal the effort they put into this. In proper dance attire too! Little tank tops and short shorts, it reminded me of my days as a dancer. Well not so much me but watching the girls who actually danced, rehearse. I have a rejuvenated appreciation for the gays. I'm still aw struck and my favorite number was a solo performance to the song "my way" but a woman singing until the very end when Frank takes over.
So this Marilyn looking lady boy is doing a smashing job while slowly stripping away her padding, dress, make up, you name it. She works her way into a mans suit and suddenly wipes off all her make up and right when Frank belts out the ending of the song the wig comes off and this gorgeous man is standing before us. Glorious.
We hit up Lotus bar after where the stragglers of the full moon party have washed up on shore. Still sipping on buckets and dancing their red bull pulsing hearts out. We settled down on the beach with these Croatian guys, I'm so thick sometimes, did you know that's by Italy? I thought he made that up. we hung out with these guys all night But not without a handful of dudes trying to kidnap me. When did it become appropriate to just grab a girl and take her away? What jack holes. One Thai guy even insisted we had already met and was about to throw me on his bike and take me to the reggae bar. I think maybe he saw me walk by in the day, which apparently made us acquaintances. So there were a few choice words exchanged throughout the night but we danced some disco under the stars until the wee hours of the morning. I made it home just before sun up, I refuse to be caught with the sun up here after a night of partying, could you imagine that feeling? Gross.
Needless to say Becks and I have only managed to get breakfast and we are both going to nap before we lock ourselves in her bungalow and watch Absolutely Fabulous all night. We seriously want to try and get to some other beaches tomorrow. But I have a feeling we are going to forget to lock the door tonight...
Fun Fact: depending what hand you are you have a tendency to chew food on that side of your mouth.
