OK….in western countries we have gay, bi and straight. We also have top, bottom and versatile. In Thailand its not that simple……but I’ve come to understand it as follows;
Thai boys who do M/M sex basically describe themselves as one of 3 types;
Puu chai (thai for “man”)
Gay
Lady boy. (kaa-toie)
A puu chai is basically a top…he wants to be the “man” and likes to fuck. He may not regard himself as “gay” in the western sense, may fuck girls and have a girlfriend, but can still enjoy M/M sex with gusto. In Thai terms there’s no guilt about anything in sex and a healthy recognition of the ability of men to enjoy sex with other men, which a lot of western men suppress….who then become closet gays. He may still let you fuck him, or may decline (“me puu chai!”) . He may basically be “straight”, or may be bi or may be “gay”….what-ever, just enjoy!
A “gay” boy is primarily into M/M sex, is probably versatile, but may then admit to having sex with girls as well if they feel like it. These are my preferred type as usually anything goes.
Lady boy (kaa-toie) is a girly / boy, total bottom , totally gay in the western sense , fucks like a rabbit and may go on to have a full sex change. They may wear make up, heels, bra etc. They are often on hormone treatment and have tits as well as still having a cock. They are not drag queens, & in Thailand are effectively a 3rd sex, and have a status quite different to their western equivalents.
Other posters may have a different interpretation, but anyway, have fun working it out for yourself…….!
