Thai Ladyboys & Japanese Boys

Here’s a pretty interesting concept: see if a few of Thailand’s prettiest ladyboys could beat some handsome young Japanese actors dressed in drag (For those of you who don’t understand the Japanese spoken in the video below, Thailand = blue door, Japan = red door).

You’ve seen the panel of Japanese celebrities vote in the above video, but do Japan Probe’s readers agree with their judgements? Let’s have the magic of online polling tell us!

Haha. I am never going to try to get a date in Thailand. I’d have absolutely zero clue as to who was an actual female and who was a male. Wow.

true man.

i’m jsut asking myself if maybe you can recognize them at their voice, or do they get some surgery to change their voices(dunno if that is possible lol)^^

dee

yaa. I seriously think they did.

Thailand has the best ladyboys in the world. One of the factors is that many male in Thailand tends to be naturally soft and feminine.

The Japanese ones are really ugly.. but I think it’s mainly because their hair isn’t nearly as cute, and most of them don’t have nice smiles! The hair stylists definitely favored the Thai girls this time!

the thai ladyboys have a big advantage lol… they pick the ladyboys with the most feminine faces… adn there’s so many more to choose from.

japanese ikemen aren’t necessarily chosen for their round faces, u can see a lot of them have a more prominent jawbone making them more masculine

but damn, those thai ladyboys are HOT! LOL.

Agreed. There’s a major difference between the facial features/complexions of what makes a man “handsome” and what makes a woman “beautiful.” And not to disparage the Thai ladyboys in any way (some are damn impressive), but I also wonder how many have had plastic surgery in order to obtain this physical features. In short, the Japanese actors never stood a chance.

I think it would be interesting to compare these pairs dressed as men and see what the results are.

I hope you don’t say that guys with female features are ugly. Most of the guys you see on Gucci and D&G ads have quite some feminine touch. That’s what makes them so damn beautiful.

jawdropping

WOW JUST….. WOW

to be honest i am kind of surprised Japan couldn’t come up with something better… as anyone who lives here can say Japanese men certainly are not the most masculine men in the world…
Sweatpig

Japan has some pretty hot ladyboys as well. Why not compare these Thai new halfs to Japan’s new halfs and not with male idols with wigs and makeup, this pointless comparison!

Yes there’s surgery remove your adam’s apple and get a more feminine voice, at least according to these shows on Japanese TV.

Whoa! The Thai Ladyboys really look really good. The japanese choices were bad tho. I think there are better ones (isn’t the last one a comedian?).
You Guys really need to be cautious on who you’re hitting on cause it might be a guy and there might be a suprise waiting XD

Well, looks like if I ever go to Thailand I may be walking home with a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend!

The Japanese she-males all appear to be wearing wigs whereas the Thai ones seem to have their real hair (likely because the Japanese ones are doing something in their lives for which long hair might be considered inappropriate) which makes the Japanese ones look a bit funny from the start. Also, all the Thai ladyboys have more feminine faces with pointed chins and better cheekbones. The Japanese ones have chins which are too masculine.

The jaw-line is most often the biggest giveaway when men dress as women in terms of facial recognition and the shoulders (too wide) and hips (too narrow) in terms of the full body.

The key point here is they compared Thai ladyboys – who live full time as girls – with Japanese actors dressed in drag. Of course the Thai ladyboys looked much better.
Now run the comparison again but for the Japanese girls ask Moe from the Jack&Betty show or Tsubaki Ayana or Akina from the Shiroiheya Club or Yume or Anri from Club Memory. These are Japanese girls who have made the same life change as the Thai girls in your little comparison and they are every bit as beautiful. Your readers would be similarly dumbstruck if they saw any of these girls pass them by in the street.
If you are going to compare the least you can do is compare like for like.

That is crazy..#1 thai ladyboy is sooooooo hot, it’s scary.. one of my friends from thailand said that being a ladyboy is like a lifestyle, and a lot of them start at a pretty young age, like preteens even, and they live their life as a woman 24/7, no breaks…craziness

Volvo has also made sure that Volvo S40 owners and interested parties could have choices with regards to sprucing up the vehicle and this is the very why the company has created a line of Volvo S40 accessories to not only provide customization and personalization but also add to its functionality and also its aesthetic features.
