1. Too Tall:- Generally Thai girls are not very tall, but almost all katoeys are taller than average, with average heights of 175 cm.
2. Exaggerated feminine shape:-Look at the way she uses make up over-applied make-up, the way she walks and moves her arms or hands, especially over-enthusiastic hair flicking excessively flicking and fidgeting with their hair - as if she is walking on a constant catwalk. Look out also for the more pronounced swaying of the hips, more elegant posture (particularly when seated).
3. Overacts and overreacts a lot:- Way more than necessary, often loudly in a high-pitched, exaggerated voice. It gets even worse when she's annoyed or upset, so we strongly advise against starting an argument.
4. The Voice:- In the majority of the cases, voices - even trained voices - are still what give many katoeys away. The pitch might be higher than men's voices but it somehow sounds odd.
5. The Dress Code:- A more visible example of the “too feminine” trait, ladyboys tend to dress in more flamboyantly and revealingly than women. Of course, this is not an easy one to gauge on Walking Street, where practically everyone is barely dressed, but ladyboys will often go one step further than most.
6. Boobs:- Many girls have obviously undergone breast augmentation, but many ladyboys really take the cake in this respect. Basically looks like two half cantaloupes.
7. No Bra: - In Thailand, girls always wear a bra! If she doesn't, you are probably talking to a katoey. Also, it is very rare for a Thai girl to ever be in public without wearing a bra, so no bra means be very mindful.
8. ID card:- No matter how feminine you are or if you use the ladies bathroom, even after a sex reassignment surgery, your ID will still show your birth gender.
9. Hotel Assist:- Ask the reception at the time of check-in that you want to be warned about ladyboys and reiterate that with the night staff with a generous tip.
10. The Unexpected:- The best way is to come out clean, by negotiating small sum of money to offer as settlement. Do never try to indulge in fight because she will always win.
