There was a time when people panicked about accidentally going to their room with a ladyboy in Thailand. There is even a famous scene based on the idea in the move The Hangover. Nowadays the tide seems to be changing. More people want to know how to find ladyboys than how to avoid them. I don’t know if people are becoming more open as time goes on or if we are headed to sodom as some religious fanatics seem to think. Whatever the case, there has been a clear rise in interest in Thailand’s world famous kathoeys.
Along with this rise in interest has come a rise in places catering to guys and girls looking for ladyboys. Nana Entertainment Plaza is one of the most famous red light areas in Bangkok. It’s a closed in square that contains a lot of go go bars. At one time only regular ladies danced at the place. Then there was one ladyboy bar. Now there are several.
Cascades is on the top floor of Nana Plaza. A lot of people probably never get up that high since it requires passing all of the other bars. But those who do are rewarded. Cascades has a reputation for having the best looking ladyboys in the complex. Most of them are between the ages of 19 and 25 so that probably has a lot to do with it. Cascades also has a reputation for having mostly post-op ladyboys. For those unaware that means they have had their penises cut off and replaced with man-made vaginas.
People seem to be divided on the post op issue. A lot of guys who are into ladyboys want “chicks with dicks.” For them that’s the point of it all. They want the best of both worlds. Others honor the needs of the ladyboys they love. Some feel like they are just regular ladies and are embarrassed or even disgusted by their penises. They want to live as women. I guess their ability to do that is limited since those at Cascades are still working at ladyboy bars, but that’s how things are. It’s not for me to judge others. I just report on the ladyboy scene around the world.
There are a lot of pre-op ladyboys at Cascades too. A ladyboy by the name of Cindy who used to work at Cascades had one of the biggest units around. She was well known for that. I don’t know where she is today but surely someone will move in to take her place. At the moment there are some ladies on staff with fully working tools that are hard to ignore, especially when they are hard. One is Pop who appears fully nude on Ladyboy.xxx. There are also some black ladyboys working at Cascades.
Cascades is a pretty big go go bar in Nana Plaza. It long thin layout and the theme follows the name. The plays looks something like a cascading waterfall with phony rocks all around for decoration. The ladyboys who work there aren’t very aggressive at all. They go with the flow and act politely which is a refreshing change from some of the really hardcore places including one that is only steps away. Of course they do line up on stage and beg for guys to call them over but they stop doing this after a while.
There are more than a dozen ladyboys working at Cascades most nights. Sometimes there are two dozen or more. Drink prices are right where they should be for Nana Plaza. The barfine at Cascades is 600 Baht ($17 USD) which is very fair for the area. The ladyboys themselves want anywhere between 1000 and 3000 Baht ($42 to $84 USD) for a short get together, usually in a short time hotel right in Nana Plaza. For an overnight stay they usually want twice that, if they even accept the offer. It can depend on chemistry with some of the younger and cuter ones. The older and more aggressive ones who pull their things out in front of customers are usually up for anything!

April 6,2018…
I was just there last nite and some things have changed…Cascade has been split in 2 basically…
The left side of the “cave” has been walled off…the club is 1/2 the size it was in October last year:(
Still had about 15-16 “dancers”…some very hot ones IMHO:)
But…not 25-30 “girls” like “the old days”…
Drink prices seem to have gone up as well.
Not sure if the down sizing is permanent or what???
Also down on the ground level…the central “Beer Garden” is gone…just a flat slab of cement now…
And there is a stadium style “roof” over the entire complex…good for rainy season:)
Sooo…Nana is in transition…pun intended:)
Still a fun evening out…Be prepared to spend $75-100 bucks if U just bar hop,chug some Changs and buy a few ladydrinks…
Stay tuned:)
Hey Billy. Thanks for the report. It seemed like the crowds were dying off in Cascades so maybe that was for the better. If it looks a little more lively and cuts the rent it might help them with business. Hard to tell. Thanks again for the updates.
