1.   [noun, adjective]
definition
transvestite; male-to-female transsexual; gay [see notes]

notesIn Thai culture, there is generally a failure to distinguish between the western concepts of gay and transsexual/transvestite. So this word is sometimes used to describe gay bars or gay people. In recent years, however, a more modern sensibility has been developing.
