Over the last week or so, a few readers and friends have sent in question that I can't answer. So I thought I would post them here and see if anyone else can help. So, without further ado, I present the SGTowns.com Reader Mailbag!
Letter #1: A reader writes: "I was watching one of the National Geographic series "Taboo: Extreme Entertainers" and they did a segment on Thai kathoeys. Anyway, they interviewed one kathoey who goes by the name "Day" and they said she's written two books..."
This reader was asking for more information. I am pretty sure he is talking about the main kathoey (transgendered) performer at the Freeman show on Silom. I know a few of my readers have seen this show, and I am sure that they, like me, loved it.
But what is her name? I thought it was Jay Dee or Jai Dee? Does she have a website? Has anyone read her books?
Letter #2: A reader writes asking about Nui Beach on Phuket: "At the time of our visit some bungalows were being built behind the beach and I am keen to find out if they are complete --I don't suppose you kept a card or a name of the English guys who were managing the place?"
Nui was indeed a beautiful and relaxing place. Here is a story about my visit to Nui Beach and a picture I took when I was there. But I don't know the answer to his questions. Anyone else?
Letter #3: Finally, my good friend Colin wrote to ask me if I "know any Software Developers in Bay Area looking for a job"? I don't, but maybe you do. He works for Genesys, a telecommunications software company. If you know anyone, tell me and I will put you in touch with Colin.
