I don't really know Thailand's story, but Iran has been a trailblazer with sex change surgeries because they don't tolerate gays. The only way to be in a gay relationship there is to have the surgery and live as a "woman". Apparently westerners were going to Iran for this before it became widely available and insured in the west.

Just think about where are the gays and lesbians in Thailand culture? They are invisible. While ladyboys are everywhere. It's the same as Iran but they are just more upbeat about castrating gays.
