Life as a ladyboy: 'What does being a transgender mean to you?'
A new Miss Tiffany's Universe was crowned last weekend in Pattaya, bringing together some of the nation's most beautiful ladyboys.
We spoke to eight of the stunning finalists in the Miss Unlimited Sexy Star swimsuit round and asked them two questions:
1. If you were being sent to live on a deserted island for six months with food, water and shelter provided, but no mobile phone coverage or electricity, what are the three things you would take?
2. What does being a transgender mean to you?
Here are their answers.

Name: Kunwala "Luookkaew" Thongklitsadakron
Age: 20
Desert island necessities: "A flashlight, my boots and my intellect."
On being a transgender: "Being a transgender makes me special as I can feel the needs of men and women as one person. As long as I can dress pretty and fall in love I'm happy. I hope that soon people will see transgenders as people, look at their hearts and stop categorizing them as something different."
