Thailand - more than just a home to the Lady's....

-
Well as you know here at Lady Boys HQ we love a bit of Thailand, from Lady Boys to Monkey Buffet Festivals it's certainly a country of contrasts! As Bangkok is the home town to the beautiful Lady's we thought we would tease you with some tantalising Thai treats and show you some of the places we and hopefully you would like to visit in Thailand. Hopefully it doesn't make the Lady's to homesick, although who could be homesick in the heart of Geordie land - never a dull moment that's for sure. We are going for a more natural wonder as opposed to the best bars in Bangkok - so on the with the scenery porn.


First up we have this masterpiece of natures relenting force, it may look like a painting but it is actually a waterfall dubbed Thi Lo Su. It's located in North West Thailand within the Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary of the Tak Province and is claimed to be the largest and highest waterfall in Thailand. Though no actual surveys of the area have been undertaken, so this could be a fraudulent claim. You can never trust those waterfalls, very slippery customers.........*tumble-weed. Doing away with the terrible jokes, I think we can all agree this is one hell of a beautiful waterfall and it definitely makes its way on our list.


People may recognise this beautiful vista from the iconic plateaus of the Khao Sok National Park in southern Thailand. This area is associated with lush rainforests, clear tranquil waters and those aforementioned tree topped pillars which tower out of the water proud and defiant of there difference - kind of like our Lady Boys! We would wager the Lady's have never been compared to a land form before so theirs a clearly a first for everything. This is an area of Thailand very popular with tourists and it's easy to see why, in fact we're going to give you one more picture to appreciate out of the kindness of our hearts. 


Whistle sufficiently wettened? Suddenly getting an itching sensation on your feet? Well before you don your boots and dart out the door lets wrap this blog up. As you can see Thailand is a very beautiful country which certainly has a lot offer, so every now and then you may see the odd scenery blog just to tide you over with some beautiful pictures of places in Thailand. Speaking of beautiful and Thai our very own Beautiful Thailand Scenery is currently coming to the end of its first amazing week in Newcastle, and that's The Lady Boys of Bangkok show of course. You can see all our tour dates and times here - link - hope to see you soon!

A brief history of clowns to celebrate Andreea's birthday!

Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness . While our other clowns – currently performing at Butlin’s Bognor Regis and Minehead – Bippo and Chico Rico are more traditional, Andreea opts to show off her sense of style with an offbeat modern look. We think her pink tutu / Converse / blazer combo is pretty iconic… especially paired with her blasting boombox! (she’s never been shy of making an entrance). Andreea likes interrupting the action with her silly routines. And you know something else… she is the UK’s only female clown! So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov

Origins of the Chinese Circus

200 BC – 200 AD – Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province – Juggler with balls and knives – Carving, stone of the “Hundred Games.” [source: Chinese Acrobatics Through The Ages, p15] The origins of the Chinese circus are not entirely crystal clear. There are debates and differing opinions when it comes to the exact history behind the circus, which is not a surprise when you take into account how long it has been around! First records of the Chinese circus - including carvings and mural paintings - date back more than 2,000 years to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), with evidence of performances developing further during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 230 AD). Although it is believed that the art may have actually started around 3,000 years ago! One theory is that the acts originated in imperial courts, with performers entertaining the houses in a manner similar to western court jesters. However, it is more likely that the circus was a folk art that was later adopted by

In honour of International Women's Day and the 'Women in Circus' movement, we would like to share these photos of strong women with whom we have worked - past and present. Women who inspire us here at Gandey World Class Productions , and who influence and empower other women across the world. There are many strong circus women who we have not mentioned here. Please be aware that this list is by no means definitive – there are so many more strong women whom we would have loved to include, and who remain an important part of the Gandey family. The pictures can also be found in a Flickr album here .
