Katoey at the Chiang Rai Night Market

This could be a photo in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro during carnival time ... but it's actually a couple of katoey (or lady boys) at the night market in Chiang Rai, Thailand making their way flamboyantly through the crowds after their cabaret show on the stage.

I would have easily mistaken it for a carnival! It is something which struck a chord during my sojourn at resort Chiang Rai: the Thai way of life…they have a unique lifestyle.
