Violent clash between Thai and Filipino trans groups rocks Bangkok

[webfact]

 

Chaos erupted early this morning outside a hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11 when a violent confrontation broke out between Thai and Filipino ladyboys.

 

The Thai group assembled in response to an incident on March 5, where a Thai ladyboy was assaulted and robbed by a group of about 20 Filipino ladyboys. Tensions heightened as the Thai group demanded justice, leading to a heavy police presence from Lumpini Police Station to secure the scene and negotiate a path to peace.

 

The standoff intensified as the Thai group, numbering in the hundreds, refused to back down, occupying the space in front of the hotel where the Filipino group was staying.

 

The gathering persisted into the early hours, with the Thai group shouting “Thailand!” and “Get out!” as the Filipino individuals, evidently intimidated, refused to leave the premises. At around 3:30am, police officers, numbering just over ten, arrived to establish a perimeter around the hotel and escort the first two Filipino individuals out amidst the uproar.

 

Despite pleas from the police, communicated over loudspeakers, to avoid violence, the situation quickly descended into mayhem as the Thai group began hurling bottles at the emerging Filipino individuals. Several members of the Thai group broke through the police line and physically attacked the Filipino individuals, who were dressed in white hoodies and dark glasses.

 

The police struggled to contain the violence, which culminated in the Thai group dragging the Filipino individuals out in front of the hotel to continue the assault. Ultimately, police managed to intervene and detain both the assailants and the victims, transporting them to Lumpini Police Station. The exact number of those arrested and the condition of the injured remains unknown, reported KhaoSod.

20 Filipinos, "hundreds" of Thais and "just over 10" (11?) police.  The outcome was inevitable.

funny that eh ? when *other* kinds of protests happen in bkk they manage to amass thousands of officers to quell the uprising. 

[cdemundo]

That sounds like what in my youth was called "a ten buck show".

I would have liked to see a bit of it.

[RandiRona]

It shows a country in great light when Thai soft power called Lady Boyz are performing public lynching in the greatest capital of the world! I can see Thailand soft power growing in leaps and bounds. 

[mokwit]

Business competition? i.e. the Phillipinos were performing work reserved for Thai ladyboys.

~ Four Filipino LBs whupped one Thai LB, filmed it, and posted on social media making fun of the Thai LB.

 

Thai LBs in the area saw the video.

 

Mayhem ensued.

 

I'm surprised Filipino sex workers and musicians don't face more "hurdles" here.

Never such uproar when foreigners get robbed by Thai trannys

Yeah, and not really any uproar with Thai on Thai violence either.....

 

....but when a foreigner does something to a Thai it leads to mass unrest. 

 

Rightly so, at least they take care of their country, unlike in the West.

'rocks bangkok'  haha, slightly OTT isnt it

Thai LGBTQ+ people rally at Sukhumvit hotel to confront their Filipino rivals

 

 

A large group of Thai LGBTQ+ people rallied in front of a hotel in Sukhumvit Soi 11 in Bangkok late Monday night, reportedly to confront a group of Filipino LGBTQ+ people following a violent incident early yesterday involving members of the two groups in front of a food shop near the Nana BTS station.

 

A member of the Thai group alleged that about 20 Filipino LGBTQ+ members attacked four Thais and then posted a clip of the incident on social media, in a way they considered to be an insult to the Thais. Two Thais were injured in the incident.

 

They said that the rally was intended defend the dignity of Thai LGBTQ+ people.

 

Officers from Lumpini police station were dispatched to the scene, to prevent the confrontation from intensifying, and invited the two groups to the police station to settle their dispute, with the promise of justice for both sides.

 

Pol Col Yingyos Suwanno, the police superintendent, reportedly said that he would check the papers of the Filipinos, to find out if they have work permits.

 

He then urged the Thais to disperse, a request with which they complied.
