Funny story about Thailand...back when I was in SpecOps we would go over to Thailand and fly in joint operations with the Thais...anyway we all got name tags with our name in English and Thai. One of our Gunners thought it would be hilarious if one of Navs had his Thai version of his name really say
"Katoey" (pronounced Ka-Toy) which is a Lady Boy...well needless to say all the Thai military guys were laughing their ass off as this burly 6' tall guy was briefing everyone on the night's mission the first day he wore the name tag.
FYI: going out to the bars...most Katoeys were almost indistinguishable from the ladies...you had to check for the Adams Apple.
