Would've served the transgender right if she evaded capture but then found out the five bracelets she got away with "self identified" as gold when they were really only copper.

What else can they do if there are no tourists walking around with such things?

Bravo ???? ???? ????

I guess they thought they got away scott free. It took 2hrs to

tracked them down through the use of cctv....

 

Police through CCTV saw that the woman had entered a black Toyota Altis, registered in Songkhla, parked near the circle.

The officers managed to track the vehicle to where it was found parked in front of Phuket Public Health Office branch on Thepkrasattri Rd in Thalang at about 4pm.

Why do they call *her* a transgender woman, and not a Transgender man??

[JeffersLos]

Is that her in the red?

And where's the headline on all the Thai Katoeys or is it "bash on alien day" again?
