Ladyboy meetups in Cambodia

In recent years, Cambodia has been a growing LGBT destination in Southeast Asia. Its cities have a vibrant LGBT scene with an increasing number of LGBT bars. Like many Southeast Asian countries, Cambodia has a unique cultural heritage.

Like the ladyboys of the Philippines and Thailand, the ladyboys in Cambodia are beautiful. They are a growing minority in the country so it is definitely possible to meet up with Cambodian ladyboys.

The term ladyboy is not appreciated by everyone. We use it on this page for educational purposes. For a detailed explanation, please read our dedicated page on the term “ladyboy”.

Getting to know ladyboys in Cambodia

Cambodia has grown more accepting of LGBT people in the past 30 years. But, that doesn’t mean that they don’t experience discrimination here. LGBT rights are still very limited. This makes it very difficult for Cambodian ladyboys to live a good quality life.

They experience high levels of discrimination and physical violence. They also have very few employment opportunities. So it’s very difficult for them to be truly themselves here. A lot of them still choose to be closeted. But those who come out, struggle to provide a good life for themselves.

Meeting places for ladyboys in Cambodia

There aren’t any ladyboy-specific spaces in Cambodia. But that doesn’t mean you can’t meet a ladyboy near you. Here are some places that we recommend while you’re in these cities.

Famous ladyboy in Cambodia: Yasmin Lee

There aren’t a lot of famous ladyboys from Cambodia. So those who have become famous worked very hard to get to where they are. Some of these ladyboys have to go to other countries to succeed in the industry they have chosen.

One example would be Yasmin Lee. She’s a Cambodian-American transgender adult film actress and model. Her family used to live in refugee camps before moving to the United States. While in the United States, she joined the US Navy. But due to being harrassed, she decided to pursue a career as a drag performer and makeup artist. She’s most famous for her role in the film The Hangover Part II as Kimmy.
