#4 We'll give you weapons and ammo, you give us Kaeng Dang Curry and Spring Rolls. Sounds like a fair deal to me. I love Thai food! Yum.

The trouble with that, Steve, is that half the time, you can't tell the Thai women from the Thai boys. You might get a shipment, and receive a rather rude shock. ^_^

#8 Too true, Ed.
You guys can have the girls, I'll take the food! Though I wouldn't mind a couple of khatoeys for bodyguards. Those 'girls' are tough.

#10 Kathy - I walked in just in time to see a katoey fight 3 girls in a Nana Plaza bar (Hollywood Bar - the Mamasan was a friend of mine) one night - it was a pretty bloody affair, too. Usually, no Thai actually points out who is katoey and who isn't (even if you are crass enough to ask, Thai social imperative is non-confrontation / non-criticism), but for some reason there was a flareup and two of the girl's friends came to her defense - probably because of the size difference. Anyway, the weapon du jour was stiletto high heels. Hard to say who won - everybody was bloody, clothes torn, hair askew, etc. Funny thing was how the big grown men scattered out of harm's way! I guess if you don't have a dog in the fight, well...
