Pattaya: Ladyboy recidivist lifts Indian man's wallet on a "Baht Bus"

 

 

Thai caption: Pattaya ladyboy at it again!

 

Tourist police in Pattaya announced the arrest of a ladyboy for pickpocketing.

 

Bunyawin or "Femme", 27, was apprehended on Beach Road on a warrant for theft during the hours of darkness. They have stolen many times before.

 

The arrest followed a complaint by an Indian man. He said he had been walking with his girlfriend on the beach on January 28th at 4 am. 

 

A helpful ladyboy had helped him and his girlfriend get on a song thaew or baht bus as they are known in Pattaya. 

 

The ladyboy had then got off near the end of Soi 13/3. 

 

Only when the Indian got off himself and went to pay for his journey did he notice that his wallet was missing. 

 

Police studied the evidence and soon came to the conclusion that Femme was the culprit. 

 

They are a recidivist. 

 

They just got out of Pattaya jail on January 8th after the latest incarceration. 

 

They have been convicted of thieving many times. 

 

A picture on 77kaoded appeared to show the ladyboy with and without a wig on Beach Road and pointing at clothes and footwear at the police station.

Then they are obviously not spending time behind bars to be a deterrent .

1. recidivist - someone who is repeatedly arrested for criminal behavior (especially for the same criminal behavior) habitual criminal, repeater criminal, crook, felon, malefactor, outlaw - someone who has committed a crime or has been legally convicted of a crime

Just taking a rest, with free food and board,

regards worgeordie

Could have been a big haul from one of the big spending Indian tourists here at present........

There seems little point in letting them out.... as stupid as the UK letting the terrorists out after half their sentence!

Is there no form of parole banning them from certain areas, Pattaya for example?

one night in jail & back on the job

Are Ladyboys jailed in a male or female jail?

Recidivist I knew but the use of 'they' had me flummoxed. Then I remembered it was the 'word of the year' or something. Will 'They is a recidivist' make it correct then? Or maybe 'They are recidivists'....no that's wrong , there was only one.

Great, a new word and apparent error. 

Is that a film with Di Caprio?

I heard that many ladyboys, on stealing an Indian,s wallet, saw how much was in it, added some and returned it ????

I also picked up on the use of the word "they" and considered it may mean the Indian's "girlfriend" (possibly a lady boy also) may possibly be working with the lady boy to steal.

 

The old, "Can we go see friend me?"

Me too, I was expecting it to be another new gender dysphoria no one had heard of.

Yes, I saw Piers arguing with someone where he wanted to identify as a penguin.

Further to my previous post concerning the use of 'they'....

In its 26th annual words of the year vote, the American Dialect Society voted for they used as a gender-neutral singular pronoun as the Word of the Year for 2015. They was recognized by the society for its emerging use as a pronoun to refer to a known person, often as a conscious choice by a person rejecting the traditional gender binary of he and she.

This has to be the 'BEST' question asked on the forum for ages. 

I am curious about that too, Now that YOU asked, I want to know.

I know and went to visit a lady often that was locked up in/near Pattaya (Nong Palai prison).   She is out now so when I see her next I will ask her.

Can you specify a source for your comment info?

I sincerely Question up to 'what point' they are considered and ??? ARE THEY BY THE RTP???? and Thai courts.  as I have heard the Thais and their Gov't recognize a 'third gender'

In 40 years I have 'NEVER' had a ladyboy walk into a men's restroom that I have been in.  Have any other posters????

I'm sincerely curious about this now after reading this post and I'd like to know a 'factual answer'

Thanks

Sure, here's a factual answer, personal experience of a Thai prison.  The LBs, 5 or 6 of them, were in the same communal room/cell as I and a number of other normal prisoners were.  And before being returned to the cell in the afternoon each day, everyone lined up to be checked over by a prison officer in just shorts, no shirts, to ensure nothing illicit was being taken to the cell overnight, that included the LBs, boobs or no boobs.  After the checking they could  put the shirt on again.

Well they are in the draw for military service but usually don't qualify. I suspect anything with a 'meat and 2 veg' would be in the male prison and maybe quite happy. After their heads get shaved and they are dressed accordingly, I doubt they look much different than the rest in there.

Is question 2, a standing or squat one ?

And they will continue as the profits outweigh the hassle of spending a bit of time jailed.

Peace

Thanks 'Just Wierd'. I find your opinion is backed up with your personal knowledge. Therefore I feel that I can believe it. AND i was sincerely curious and was really hoping to know, just to satisfy my curiosity. I have been around Thailand over 40 years and I know that the police here do not always conform to 'worldwide accepted' standards.

on the forun you will routinely see posters who have posted 'unfounded opinions', so I am hesitant to believe some posts but if a topic stirs up my curiosity, then I'd like to learn more and that was my intent when responding to your post. I was hoping somebody would come back with something believable and founded. I found your reply believable. Thanks.

AND THANKS TO "THAIWRATH" FOR HIS NEGATIVE "SAD' EMOJIs on BOTH of my posts.

• ‘Sometimes prisoners never seem to get free of the prison system and they become what society now refers to as recidivists.’
•  
• ‘Also, should prisoners who repeatedly commit crime spend a longer time behind bars simply because they're recidivists?’

They are a recidivist. 

In this instance, the word "they" is used to mean Femme and his close friend Dick.
