webfact Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Pattaya police round up ladyboys and another thief in two theft cases Picture: Thai Rath Pattaya station chief Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch announced the arrest of three people in two theft cases from tourists at the resort. One remains at large. In the first case a man originally from Bangkok called Suphaprik Naepphimai, 28, was arrested at Niran Condo in Central Pattaya with a bag containing the possessions of a Korean tourist. The tourist had been robbed at Makro in North Pattaya. In the bag were many items including keys, an amulet and a license. The suspect said he had already spent the cash. In a second case two lady boys called Phuchong Loimankhong, 23, and Somboon Phaengsawan, 28, were arrested for theft from a Japanese tourist on Walking Street, South Pattaya. Along with a third man, who is still at large, they approached the tourist and stole from him. The third man is Lickit (or Lin) Chatthirat, 26, for whom an arrest warrant has now been issued.

Popular Post The manic Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 There is no reason to mention their gender identity in such headlines. It stirs hate and prejudice against a group who are generally harmless and work in many areas of Thai life and culture. The perpetrators were criminal and thieves. The fact they were lady boys is irrelevant and sensationalist, hate mongering. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they were lady boys is irrelevant and sensationalist, hate mongering. I have to agree with you. Sincerely... My gripe with these chaps is that they want to be called women but many of them act as thugs and despite the over-generalization on my part this behavior brings out prejudice in my way of seeing them. Does the exception make the rule? It does... at 7/11 close to my house there is a really nice ladyboy. But I still cannot bring myself around to calling him a she. I often condemn Thai visa for writing headlines that just set people up for biased and prejudiced comments, unfortunately I am human and succumbed to the temptation to gripe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexlowe Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The headline is ambiguous and would never have been published by a professional newsroom, regardless of the feelings about katoeys. It's saying that ALL ladyboys are thieves -- look at it again if you can't see that. I have no love of the aggressive, in-your-face klatoeys, and I agree that Pattaya has an over-abundance of the worst ones, but there is a need for balance and objectivity when presenting news if you want to be taken seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd be curious to see how the numbers shake out in terms of percentages. Like any tourist area all over the world, Pattaya draws its share of takers looking to harvest easy tourist cash, by hook or by crook. But I'd be surprised if they represent the majority of any subset of Thai's. That said, I've been surprised before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
