Pattaya during the day is a coastal city with blue seas and silver sand, basking in the sunshine. But as night falls, it begins to come alive. The streets are lit up with bright lights, and the stages are filled with strange and surreal figures. People reveal their true selves after transforming, indulging in cigarettes, alcohol, and neon lights, living a life of debauchery. I remember reading a travelogue about Thailand in middle school, which mentioned the history of ladyboys. It seems to have originated from Thailand's Buddhist beliefs, where Buddha is genderless, neither male nor female. So boys were dressed as girls as a form of offering, to show respect for Buddha.
