Lady Boys at Wat Benchamabophit, Bangkok - Part 2

I've heard from my guy friends of the place called Pat Pong situated in the heart of Bangkok. I always wondered why they keep mentioning this place. Little did I know then, that I'll soon find out. I'm continuing this post from Buddha's Day at Royal Plaza in Bangkok, Thailand - Part 1.

By the way, this is not Pat Pong. =p

Wat Benchamabophit is a Buddhist temple situated in the Dusit district of Bangkok, Thailand. Also known as the marble temple, it is one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples and a major tourist attraction. It incorporates Bangkok's ornate style of high gables, stepped-out roofs and elaborate finials. (wikipedia)

Unfortunately, I couldn't marvel much on it's architectural wonder as it was night time and the place was swarmed with local Thai people. All I saw was a white marbled building with lights that changes colors from purple, red to green.

My friends headed to the exhibition section on the right of the entrance and we saw people taking picture in front of Thailand's current queen.

I wondered why. hehe. The woman on the board is the Royal Queen of Thailand.
I was struggling to understand the pictures and writings at the exhibition. It showcases pictures of the royal family and the writings beneath them were 100% in the Thai language. This was obviously not a tourist occasion. Haha.

But I felt lucky nonetheless for given an opportunity to experience a local cultural event. Carmen was the only white female there while Rayyan and I were the only Muslims. =p

I was sandwiched between two very beautiful ladies!
I was certainly drawn to the beauty of these two ladies. Little did I know that they were NOT LADIES at all! OMG!!!

So pretty.........
How could a guy be prettier than another girl???

He he he... Can you determine if a lady is truly a lady? Thailand guys know how since they are used to these things. But can  you??? I certainly cannot. =p
