Katoey has a posse

katoeyposse.jpg

The Wooster Collective covers some local street action from Thailand. My favorite is a stencil of recently resigned Prime Minister Thaksin holding a string of mobile phones (it was his telecommunications business that became the catalyst for weeks of Bangkok demonstrations calling for his resignation). Above, a homage to the "Andre has a posse" campaign. Katoey is a term for ladyboys or transexuals. Just yesterday friends and I were discussing how Thailand has become among the top world destinations for "medical tourism". There goes my interest and research into "war tourism"...
