...Kampang school isn't the first one to accommodate its kathoey pupils. Several years ago, a technical college in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai unveiled what it called "pink lotus" bathrooms, reserved for kathoeys. Now Thailand's Education Ministry is considering introducing similar bathrooms and dormitories on the university level, even though many colleges require ladyboys to wear male clothing on campus. (For the most part, however, kathoey students can choose feminine hairstyles and wear jewelry, nail polish and makeup...

...burning on the same brand of fuel. “Today’s Lesson,” a road-trip rocker, surges along on a foreboding bass riff while Cave croons about lust and violence jumping from dreams to the waking world. “Night of the Lotus Eaters” perverts the myth of a Mediterranean cult of hallucinogen-gorging island dwellers, casting them as post-apocalyptic street hunters; tension winds tight against a sparse arrangement of drum clatter, guitar reverb, and a xylophone that seems to echo from the bottom of a sewer...
