Best summer holiday picks for 2019

Image
Summer is finally upon us! So long to fluffy socks, stuffy noses and cable-knit sweat shirts (for now, anyway) and a very warm welcome to beer gardens, burnt shoulders and busy beaches. More importantly, it's that time of the year where we all take the opportunity to jet off to somewhere new. Bring on the clear blue skies; we're ready! But whilst there's plenty to choose from, finding the perfect destination can be a bit overwhelming. So, to make those tough decisions that little bit easier, here are our top holiday destinations for summer 2019. Bangkok Currently in the running to be the  best shopping destination in Thailand , the bustling city of Bangkok is the best holiday for history lovers.

Wintertide on the Equator....

Image
Oh English Winters how we love you!! Those freezing cold temperatures, that brief lump in throat few seconds between turning the ignition and the engine rumbling to life in the morning and that lovely frost - which never has any respect for the fact that you have to be in work in 20 minutes. English winters can be testing, but at least we endure them together and that includes the Lady Boys during their touring months! Luckily for the ladies however, they get to return to beautiful and most importantly warm home country of Thailand between tours, so this weeks blog is a rather envious look at some of the Thai winter scenery they will be experiencing when they return in December! Temperatures in Bangkok at the time of writing this blog are 29 degrees and that's at 11pm - so it seems living near the equator is anything but straight down the middle (temperature wise that is)! The above picture was taken at the W Hotel in Bangkok - which promises all year round sun bath...

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

Image
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 undert...
