Asian ladyboys are often considered the sexiest and most beautiful in the world. They tend to have very feminine features, slender bodies, and they also benefit from cheap access to cosmetic surgery. In some countries, in particular in Thailand, in Cambodia, or in the Philippines, being transgender is relatively well-accepted.

Note: I updated this article in January 2019. Visas for Indonesia The citizens of almost every country on earth can enter Indonesia without a visa for at least 30 days. This visa is non-renewable and non-extendable so you'll have no choice but to leave the country after it has expired. Overstaying is currently charged IDR250,000 per day. For staying for more than 30 days as a tourist, you have 4 options : → Make a 60-day tourist visa in any Indonesian consulate abroad (I did one in Saigon, Bangkok, KL, Singapore and Paris). It takes 3-4 days and costs 50$. This visa can then be extended 4 times 30 days for about 40 dollars (you must use an agent).
