Violent clash between Thai and Filipino trans groups rocks Bangkok

[bristolgeoff]

Something different for the evening's entertainment, ladyboys and handbags early morning. 

[zhounan]

The second match should be held at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
It could be an attraction and sell many tickets.

 

TAT shouldn't miss this opportunity to make money.

“Kratoey Thais Go to War” trending on social media

 

 

Social media was buzzing this morning over the clash between Thai and Filipino transgenders in Sukhumvit Soi 11 last night. The incident was given various names, such as ‘Battle of Angels’ and ‘Kratoey Thais go to war’.

 

‘Kratoey’ refers to some members of the LGBTQ+ community in Thai culture.

 

The confrontation between Thais and their Filipino counterparts, which began on Monday night and continued through to early this morning, was streamed live on many social media platforms, capturing the attention of many viewers.

 

Caption: Two Thai transgenders injured during the clash file a complaint with police today.

We're joking about it (myself included) but it was actually very nasty. if the police hadn't intervened I don't know what the outcome would have been.

My GF knows many of them.

I've been listening to stories of the leadup to this for the last 4 days. 2 Thai LBs in particular have been showing up at soi 11, taunting and harassing the Filipinas, for several days in a row. 4 Filipinas went down to soi 4 to demand the <deleted>e stop. Words were exchanged and a group of Thais followed them back to soi 11, where they continued the verbal altercation. The action started when one of the Thais slapped one of the Filipinas, causing a minor ruckus, hair-pulling, name-calling etc. This was videoed bvy a Thai and posted online, calling for reinforcements. The Thais then gathered en mass and started assaulting the Filipinas as they emerged from Cit In Hotel eventually entering the hotel and dragging any Filipinas they saw out into the streets to be beaten. Police arrived and could not even escort the Filipinas to the police station safely.

Agree. It was not a fun event. All that faux femininity completely vanished. A really unpleasant side to the trans culture. Violent and brutal. But, who am I to judge? Just calling it as I saw it, that's all. Could say the same about the lads out on a night out I guess, brawling with security. But this went beyond that. A baying mob.

Where are all the farang calls to deport the phil LBs since they actually committed a serious crime of robbery and physical assault vs a Thai citizen? 

 

let’s keep everything in perspective

Turf war. Nobody was robbed.

Part of the long-time resentment by Thais. Seems they can't win an honest competition:

Ask the Thai government not to allow Filipino ladyboys to enter our country

 

They can't  !

They need at least one, the Winner of the Filipino LadyboyQ contest to appear in the 2025 LadyboyQ contest, which Thailand just recently won  !

Sounds about right. This isn't about a single incident - it must have been built up resentment for months/years. TBH I can't really fault the Thais for being angry about Filipinos encroaching on "their" territory. Can you imagine if any other nationality tried stealing taxi driver jobs? Any work being taken by an illegal immigrant/tourist is bad for locals, but sex work is by tourists is breaking multiple laws. They really should have immigration round up foreigner sex workers and start deporting - there's no reason for Africans, foreigner ladyboys, etc to be here. Vietnamese/Laos/Cambodia/Myanmar is still ok as they at least understand the language and culture and behave themselves for the most part - and also in many cases do have work permits (not for sex work obviously, but many have day jobs and moonlight at night) - but Filipino and African tourists really have no business being here.

 

Having said all of that- the ones attacking them were animals (sorry to insult animals). Just blindly attacking any Filipino they could drag out regardless of whether they were involved in the previous incident. A lynch is a lynch - the police should look at the videos and arrest all who participated. This of course won't happen because they are Thai, and police would rather pretend that the situation is resolved than uphold the law....until it happens again with a different demographic. It's already a common occurence for groups of ladyboys in Pattaya to attack foreigners - there's clearly a pattern of violence, and a lack of enforcement - why would they stop being violent if they know there are no repercussions?

It was exactly in the small alley Sukh. 11/1. In front of a  bar beside of the same hotel i was a few days ago. (I saw some pics in the news today). I was wondering about the high number of LB hanging around and even stay in the hotel. During the whole night it was very noisy in this alley. In the past it was quiet there. But now the alley has 3-4 Bars with live music. 

I left after one night  

I stayed in the hotel next door in 2017. Back then it was pretty quiet and haven't seen any ladyboys there. I haven't been there in a very long time but I guess that's changed.. and maybe will change back again as it appears the Filipinos will be gone for a while...

As we could see on the video !! everything went in perfect dignity !!

What dignity? we are literally talking about men in dresses selling their a** (when they're not busy robbing people). There's very few other jobs that are less dignified than that. There's that phrase "any job is a good job".. well, not in this case lol.

[tgw]

I'm still trying to find a video of the initial assault and robbing.

 

I saw one with a lot of finger flipping by the Pinoys, but nothing physical.

 

Could someone please post a link to the initial video?
