...Predictably, there was a sizeable contingent of jiggling ladyboys, who never need to be told twice to put on a frock. Meanwhile, a "fun zone" boasted tired fairground rides, and in the evening, DJs appeared at a "dance zone," although organizers' promises of "top international names" evaporated with the tropical breeze.
