The wage in Thailand varies from 200 to 700 baht a day, a day ffs, my wife can earn that in an hour in the uk, sounds to me like someone has been burnt some what,
head to koh samui it’s a lovely island beautiful beaches good nightlife, can’t say I seen many ladyboys there although they are everywhere in Thailand anyway but there a good laugh and won’t bother you if you don’t want them to, please avoid Phuket loaded with ladyboys, same as Pattaya, I have found that the smaller islands are better and more relaxed, I personally research everywhere I visit before I go there, get on YouTube and look at places to visit in Thailand good luck and happy holidays
Phuket absolutely a rip off part of Thailand, shame really Pattaya is the same but the jomtiem part is nice same rayong koh larn, what are you looking for in Thailand 🇹🇭
