Lefty

The photo galleries for the Costa Ricans were all in 2005 on AsianTs.com and for reasons unknown to me, that entire year is missing from their archives on the site. The owner. a very kind and honest gentleman, though gave me permission to post some without their logo. These pics were from 2005, so she may have changed a bit. At the time, she was the favorite amongst the Costa Rican models.

One thing I may not have made clear. While they do bargain down on the price, as I recall they will probably start out asking about the equivalent of $60 US, which you may get down to about $35, for a short time. I really doubt one would get the equivalent of a 500 baht short time with any travesti of decent quality. For the equivalent of $60 US, if was late, say around midnight at the earliest, you could probably get a long time, as in overnight session.

I did find an old, somewhat rundown, but safe hotel for about $10 US, but it wasn't near Barrio Amon, which is where you want to be. Some bargain seeking punters will stay there, but it takes some time to travel. I checked it out one day, decided I would not want to stay there, partially due to location, and partially due to it seeming like I stepped back into the 1970s looking at the bed, tv, and other furnishings in the room. The place I stayed was a gay owned guest house. Most all the tenants were gay. I think I was the only one there at that time who was OTG, and I consider myself Bisexual, but that's another topic.

If anyone wants some suggestions on specific places to stay, I'd be glad to offer suggestions.

I went to Costa Rica in early 2005, to try to find and photograph some travestis for AsianTs.com. The owner thought it would be nice for a change of pace to mix some in. The park you refer to is called Parque Morazon and I found it was relatively safe to walk around the adjacent streets. I talked to a lot of them, not many spoke English. But when I was out mingling with them while they stood on street corners plying their wares, they were all pretty nice to me. I found several who made good models and were great for sex, very passionate, ended up with a couple of galleries that didn't pass muster however. About 3 of the hottest ones I saw would not agree to be photographed for various reasons. Very few had implants. I think a couple of them at least were boys during the day, and then dressed up at night to work the streets. I think the most popular one I found there was like that. Transgenderism isn't totally accepted there, like most Latin countries, so to have day time jobs, they needed to go back and forth between being a guy and a TG, some did anyway. The place to stay is Barrio Amon in San Jose. There are several reasonable hotels or guesthouses there. The places I stayed were no problem with me bringing the travestis to the room. At one hotel, I was talking to the desk clerk about other places to meet some besides Barrio Amon, and he told me about the next city, Heredia, and he drove there with me in an off duty taxi of a friend, to look for some hanging out on the streets, I paid a very reasonable rate to the taxi man to drive us around. That was how I met my best model. Prostitution is legal there, for anyone 18+. Pimping is not legal, but since the hookers don't have to worry about breaking any laws if they are 18 or older, they don't need any pimp to protect them. For equal quality, hotels are more expensive than Thailand, by a slight margin. The money the travestis ask for a short time will initially be more, but they can be bargained down and don't seem to mind if you try to do that.

One night I wanted to go to one of the discos that was popular with the GLBT crowd, and rather than go alone, I walked up to the next street corner from my guest house and asked some of the travestis if they wanted to go to the disco. Tired or bored with standing there looking for customers or having already done a short time or two, 3 of them all readily accepted the offer, and we hailed a cab and went to the disco to dance, drink and listen to music. Again, I never felt one bit threatened or unsafe being around these travestis. I think though that at least 2 of those 3, had already modeled and or spent the night with me at least once. So we kind of knew each other. There were some gay foreigners, Americans as I recall, stopping by the guest house to visit the owner. I told them of my interest in the travestis, and they did not have one good thing to say about them. Very harsh I thought, because I wasn't seeing this negative side of them. One other interesting thing that happened. One favorite travesti I met on the corner down from the guest house was a Nicaraguan named Roshany, I think. She was slender, dark skinned, very pretty, and had a long cock. I had her stay with me a few days. One evening I took her out to a fairly nice restaurant that served some sort of Middle Eastern food, maybe Pakistani, don't remember for sure. We sat at one of the outside tables, and it wasn't very crowded. We had our main courses without incident. After that they asked us if we wanted dessert. Then for some reason, they claimed to be out of every kind of dessert. Maybe I am a little slow on the uptake, so I went ahead and paid for the meal and we left. Then it dawned on me. After further thought, I think they didn't realize for some reason until we asked about dessert, that Roshany was a travesti and I think that is why they told us they were out of all desserts, to get rid of us as soon as possible. We were there kind of early evening before the regular hours when I expected the main crowd for dinner would be there. I told a couple of the fellows also staying at the guest house about it, to perhaps cost that restaurant their business. Anyway, that is what I basically remember about my 3 weeks in Costa Rica.

I posted some of my experiences of Costa Rica on another lb forum, and to help get this sub forum rolling here, I will copy and paste them, and maybe it will generate some new discussions.

Great post Lin, you found some real beauties there. In your group pix of 5, IMO 4 are above average or much better. That is unusual. It seems to me when out in the provinces, if one gets a group of lb friends to pose, usually maybe 2 of 5 or so would be stunning. You may have found one of the real treasure troves as for hot lb locales.

Lucky Love didn't have a team. It was Hansi's other bar, So What Bar, and the ones who ended up being the champions.

Well Lefty, you're going to have to give me the guided tour on my next visit.

In what Bars do you spend the remaining 10$?

Ahhh, my witty young Irish lad, I cannot tell you where the remaining $10 gets spent, lest the information fall into enemy hands. It will be required that I show you. ;)

To me, the most famous Thai ladyboy has to be Nancy. The reigning and still undefeated champion for most massive ladyboy cock in Thailand.

I've heard Long Mint is the biggest. Maybe slightly longer than Nancy, but for overall mass, Nancy is like a baseball bat up your ass, business end first, whereas Long Mint is more like the handle of a 5 iron, in comparison.

Recently I've heard others such as Ploy, formerly of Hemma Cabaret, and now at a bar on up 2nd Rd, the name of which I cannot recall, and Noon aka Ex Mrs Juri, were on a par with Nancy. They are both impressive enough in their own right, but neither one equal to Nancy.

If I could have any lb I have ever known walk through my door right now, I would select Nancy.

Great post about your tipping point SS!

For all you folks playing along at home, Emma goes under many different names one of which is Amy so that's the same same girl. Think Khun Lefty knows about four names for her.

When I first met her in front of JSB, March 2003, she told me her name was Anne.

When www.asianshemalesxxx.com did an early photo shoot of her, it was under the name of Boy, though I don't think she has used it in person. This was back before any alterations whatsoever, and she was quite like a boy from the neck down at that time.

She was on ladyboy-ladyboy.com in late 2003 early 2004 or so, two shoots by different photogs. In one she was Emma and in the other still another name that escapes me now.

Then her later shoots like for ladyboy-gold.com she has been Amy.

In person however, the past few years, as far as I know she is always Emma.

Sammy is feeling a little verklempt.

Talk amongst yourselves.

;)

I see no reason for the so called Facebook generation to regret any indiscretions. What is that anyway? Putting your real name and pic on FB and then have LBs on your friends list? That is only a problem if anyone is ashamed for family or straight friends to potentially know.

I'm too old and far past caring what anyone else thinks about my lifestyle choices.

Like Dr Seuss said, "be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind, don't matter.

Sam Sam Sam,

Do you think I would risk missing the big party the end of Jan? Getting the chance to hang with you and Deepthroat and the rest of the gang is too big an event to shrug off lightly. PI will still be there.

Hugs and kisses

Lefty

Short term lodging is going to generally be a little higher in Phils, from what I've seen.

Long term, by the month, types of places, I think you can do better in Phils.

The passport stamp only gets you 21 days as opposed to 30 in Thailand. Visas to extend are a lot more though. After the 21 days, next you get a 38 day visa. That cost me 2,340 pesos. Next I got a 59 day visa and it cost me 3,800 pesos.

To figure the value of those prices in baht equivalent, it would be 45% less baht to be same value. It's an easy calculation if your brain thinks in baht and also thinking in pesos seems intimidating.

So basically, you could get a 1 year multiple entry retirement visa in Thailand for less than the cost of 4 months in Phils.

Pharmaceuticals are VERY much higher in Phils. Things like V need a scrip from a doctor. I got one and when I went to Mercury Drugs, one of the bigger chains in the country, I was told that ONE Viagra tablet would cost 880 pesos. I passed.

Vitamins are also slightly higher, but them again any imported vitamins are higher than balls on a giraffe, here in Thailand to begin with. So, just figure imported nutritional supplement prices are very high both places.

Booze is cheaper in Phils, for those of you who enjoy a libation of an evening. San Mig Lite could often be found for 30-32 pesos a bottle. Multiply that by 45% or .45 and you will see what that is in baht.

I found Colt 45 malt liquor for sale in small stores, for 15 pesos for a bottle. Same size bottles as the standard ones here. Most of your typical Pinoys don't drink San Mig because to them it's not worth the extra cost compared to Red Horse or Eagle beer. They have a Sangsom equivalent, called Tanduay that's very popular and as I recall it was less expensive also.

There are PLENTY with as much or more of a package than Alis. She is above average, but many have more. That wouldn't be a good reason in of itself.

It depends on the situation. In Stringfellows its nice to see the bulge. I think most of the gurls prefer to keep it hidden when wearing tight clothes and/or out in public to appear more ladylike, so I would defer to their preferences in those instances.

Fridge has a good idea with the cock ring for when they are nude. That's something I'd like to explore further in the future.

I do find it amazing the size of the tools that some ladyboys are able to deftly tuck away out of sight.

the one tied to the pole, she told me her name is Anna, she is the one who Karl said is even bigger cock than Kung.

Talking to Michael one evening, we came up with The Beverly Hillbillies names for various folks at the bar. Michael is Uncle Jed, Thomas is Jethro Bodine, Ning is Ellie Mae and Aun is Granny, more for the way she oversees everything and speaks her mind, rather than her age. hehehe. We ain't decided who is Miss Jane or Mr Drysdale yet. :D Maybe those characters won't fit anyone. Heck, as flat chested as Miss Jane was though, maybe she was a ladyboy not yet on hormones. 555

Nice shot's Friedfrunk, this really is my favourite Bar, great staff and a wonderful laid back atmosphere. :D

plus I like Em's style long hair or short She is great, along with Aun and Ning it's a winning combination.

Em's hair has been the topic of many conversations the past couple of months. Is she better with long hair or short. There will never be a consensus of the subject I think. Most everyone seems to agree that with her great smile and overall loveliness, the hair length is more or less irrelevant.

Agree about it being my favorite bar. The atmosphere as well as the kindness of Michael the owner, means Corner Bar probably gets at least 75% of the money I spend in bars every month.

The other one is a newer one. Tall like Kung, has her hair lightened. Karl assured me she is hung more than Kung. Ain't made a personal inspection yet.

Great pix again, Mr Ff. You are one very cool dude and a fine shutterbug.

You caught Pooky in the background in one pic, firing up a J. 5555 :D

Just kidding, the bar cannot be quite that liberal, although I don't see why when we gotta pass a dozen fucking shisha joints with their atomic music blaring and fools sucking their damned shisha pipes just to get to Playboy.

Pooky aka Nana (when she was at Gemini Bar) looks especially fine, as usual. She could stand up with any lb in Pattaya when it comes to sheer beauty.

the current crew at Famous includes two of the largest cocks in Pattaya now. If that interests any of you pole smokers or butt pirates. :rolleyes:

I've only partaken of one of the two so far and she is a real dynamo in the sack.

She wears 56mm condoms, the largest diameter sold in most pharmacies here.

I concur with PD. Famous is #1 because of Lita and Karl. Karl plays the best music of any bar in Pattaya. Lots of parties thrown there too. Great venue, and the location suits me.

I do like Sally's a lot too and if it were closer I'd go more. But it is still a solid #2 for me.

I like Linda Bar for a place to sit and relax. Koyo7 is moving up the list for me too.

Next would probably be LaBamba to round out my personal top 5.

Great pix FF!!!

I think Em wants her long hair back so eventually it will get there. In the meantime she makes a very cute fem boy type. Hopefully she will avoid activities in the future that could risk another visit to the monkey house.

I can personally vouch for Ice in every way. Beautiful, good heart, GFE if you want to spend some time with her, great massage. Can't say enough good things about Ice.
