Sanook Thai Caption: Reporting for duty!

 

Sanook reported that a ladyboy from Bung Kan in the NE of Thailand finished work in Norway then turned up at the army draft dressed in an SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) attendant's uniform. 

 

It caused quite a stir as the potential recruit revealed they had been fined 300 baht for not answering a summons. 

 

It happened at the draft in Sophisai district yesterday.

 

The stewardess was Nai (Mr) Natthaporn Yawara, aged 23. She is also known as Ploy, or gem.

 

After paying her fine she was then taken away to have her particulars noted and was given a health check.

 

The applicant was given an exemption based on the fact that his current sexual orientation didn't match his gender at birth. 

 

Ploy was happy to speak to the large pack of press hounds, who follow the annual draft looking for stories like this.

 

She said that in 2019 at age 21 her mother pressed her to attend the draft but she had just started as a stewardess on SAS.

Then in 2020 the pandemic scuppered her attendance. 

 

But now it was only one day quarantine Ploy decided to come back, go to her home province and face the draft. 

 

She said that both her mum and dad are Norwegian and that she had been living abroad. But her mum still wanted her to fulfil her Thai duties.

 

She said that in Norway she used the term "Miss" (nang sao) and has had surgery on her breasts but not surgery "downstairs". 

 

Wheteher she would opt for sex change surgery was a decision for later, she said, adding that "suan faen yang mai mee kha" - "as far as a boyfriend goes, no I don't have one". 

 

She said that she was the first Thai ladyboy to not have 100% sex reallocation surgery who is now a stewardess.

 

She thanked SAS for that chance though it took her three attempts until she was successful.

Nice one mum.

How can she be Thai if her parents are Norwegian?  Either they are Thai and she is Thai, or they are Norwegian and she is Norwegian, surely?

Klinger.

 

Is there a Section 8 equivalent in Thai legislation.

I don't have much skin in the game re. pronouns, but you would think choosing one and sticking with it would be best for a coherent article.

Wish her/him best of luck.....

Those that were drafted had black balls!

It's certainly likely that they aren't Norwegian. Possible one of them isnt her parent.

More Ploy, then gem in my eyes.

I thought Ploy translated as 'release me'.

Anyway typical 'tall' ladyboy.

 

All those guys in pubs claiming to be former SAS .... I never thought flight attendants!

Simple, her mom is Thai married a Norwegian and obtained Norwegian nationality.

Good luck in your new home country and with your career. Wonder what they would do in Israel? THere both sexes have to serve. By the way that's how it should be, it is clearly gender discrimination if only man are drafted.

Exactly my point.

 

Her parents are Thai, but her mother remarried and now has dual citizenship is probably more factually correct.

 Father is Norwegian.  He married a Thai.  His Thai wife has both Thai and Norwegian nationality.

I found this refreshingly amusing news, given all the gloom about Covid-19 restrictions, visas/Thailand Pass, alcohol bans, entertainment restrictions etc. etc. etc.! 

I am sure the Royal Thai Airforce would benefit:-

A little reading comprehension ... "Anyone looking for a deferment" ... directed more to a 'straight' male wanting to avoid wasting their time in the military.  Pretty sure that falls under crossdressing.

 

There are 2 biological sexes, what you want to do with or call yourself, is up to you.  Labels don't work very well with me.  And this c r a p 'LGBTQ+' and that's the short version ... please, nobody cares.

good for u enjoy life

and who gives a monkeys what others think

Bless.

What was that mumbo jumbo about inclusiveness just a couple of days ago, dust immediately.

Maybe her Parents were Thai and became Norwegians ?

You cared enough to read an article and then comment on one about it.

The article about the FA was sort of interesting. 

 

What I and everyone I know, don't care about, are people proclaiming their sexual preference.  Nobody cares, simply enjoy your life.  I'm  happy for you.

 

Special interest groups ... sorry, there nothing special about you.  Did you discover a cure for cancer.  End wars, or pollution, invent something to ease other's pain ?  Do something, anything special ?
