The less upscale and over the top, Ladyboy Shows are mini shows that take place in typically gay bars in Bangkok. Nightclubs such as the X Boom and DJ Station have certain times in which they offer a miniature show for patrons to enjoy. The times are usually at 11 pm in both nightclubs. These Ladyboy Shows do differ from what you would see in the Cabarets though. With the nightclubs, these shows are not done in an environment for family friendly entertainment. In addition, the atmosphere in these nightclubs caters to gay patrons and may be a bit uncomfortable to the heterosexual tourist. There for if you are looking for a family friendly showing of the Ladyboy Shows then your best venues are the upscale Cabarets, as well you can avoid the gay scene at the Cabarets if such scenes make you uncomfortable.
