Chalermchai stated that police officers were endeavouring to patrol Soi Bangla and its vicinity to apprehend transgender sex workers, though it proved to be a challenging task. Distinguishing between sex workers and non-sex workers was not straightforward. Without clear evidence, the police were unable to make arrests.

Definitely morons, all doubt removed! 🤪

Shocking 🥱

A quick cut and tuck and the ''boys'' will be happy ''girlies.''

Probably due to their noble qualities here in Thailand, I guess. I think you mean "cant"  above?

Yes they are, and it's easy to explain, testosterone at puberty tells the bones to stop growing.

LBs take hormones to inhibit testosterone, so they keep growing.

Castrato opera singers were also unusually tall.

Wrong!

Not a single post inquiring "why" she kicked the guy sitting down. That tells a story in itself.

He has obviously said something not nice, something derogatory and probably mocking - the ladybot hasn't just lashed out for no reason.

I'd wager the the guy was drunk and shooting his mouth off fuelled by alcohol. If he ddi that to anyone he should expect a retort and maybe a fat lip. 

Is there any mention of what he said?  

Using words is not assault  kicking someone, while they are on the ground, is definitely assault... you have a very strange way of thinking  Thailand seems the right place for you.

Finally! Someone with a pertinent question. I've been to Patong a few times and I am pretty sure the LBs there don't attack people for no reason. At worst they will just physically (and suggestively) accost you and if you ignore, refuse politely or just walk away, nothing will happen. This guy must've said or done something to piss the LB off in a big way. The Instagram clip is typical media sensationalism without telling the whole story.

So one Swiss guy kicks a Thai lady ( of course which is not acceptable in any form or shape ) but he gets his visa revoked, properly seized, license revoked and awaiting for deportation. Then why not to also take some action against these ladyboys . Send them out of Phuket . Or give them harsher punishment so next time they will think twice .

They aren't women, but it seems everyone had a nice time, the not so nice boys won.

Taking testosterone blockers leads to a higher sex drive, fertility and facial and body  hair changes only. Height is mostly genetics. Castrato's were taller because they were castrated, stopping testosterone. Human growth hormone affects height, influenced by testosterone.. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/increasing-height#TOC_TITLE_HDR_3

 

They look taller because they wear heels 👠

Cant understand why he would remain on ground and not get up, he doesnt appear to have impediment plus some one should have helped him up, i have helped drunks before as understand how easy it is to have good time.

It doesn't take much to push the buttons and set the ladyboys off on a tantrum.

 

They are a nuisance in all high-profile tourist areas and not much good comes from them, plenty of thieving and fighting, that's for sure.

 

They also, just the same as their Male motorbike taxi counterparts like to fight in packs.

 

Sure, there are loudmouthed tourists, fuelled by alcohol and showing off, but it's just as easy to walk away, LBs never take that option.

There are plenty of complaints at Police stations of LBs accosting, throwing their arms around and kissing foreigners and being rejected, only for the foreigner to find moments later he has been relieved of a gold chain, telephone or wallet.

In line with how the semi divine treat the nasty Swiss in Phuket I would assume, that the "service fee dispute" shall result in an official apology on all Thai TV channels, a hefty fine and an extradition to the home province with a life-long ban returning to Phuket. Flower baskets for the foreign service seekers and a handshake by the Thai foreign minister to the respective ambassadors of the foreigners nationalities ......... 

"service fee dispute" of a worker in a trade, which is illegal to start with - really made my day, thank you 😉

Not saying all LBs are angels. Just saying they don't physically attack people for no reasons. Them relieving unsuspecting tourists of cash and valuables is rampant, this I know.

It's because they look better than Scots women.

[spidermike007]

What I would really like to know is why are such a significant number of ladyboys so troubled in terms of mental health? It's just unbelievable how many stories you read about ladyboy theft, ladyboy violence, ladyboy this, ladyboy that. What is the story? 

 

I am very grateful when I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and am completely content with my sexuality, and I would imagine it has to be very difficult to deal with those kinds of issues on a daily basis. So, to some extent I can understand some of the challenges, but it seems like Pattaya is the world center of mentally challenged ladyboys, who are really poorly adjusted, and not making much of a contribution to society. 

 

Am I wrong, am I seeing this from a warped perspective? 

[IndomitableSpirit]

The issue about Thai vs Filipino ladyboys ended quickly because ladyboys still have "codes" where they believe all of them should be united no matter what. There was never an issue before because the Thais and Filipinos were in it together, it's been like that for ages. The ones in the hotel were newbies and didn't follow the "code" that's why they got in trouble with the Thais. Also, the government and police didn't want to prolong the issue because they don't want Thailand making headlines from transwomen in a brawl, let's just say it's not their cup of tea.

 

Now, Thai ladyboys vs "farangs" is a whole new different level. The targets are foreigners they can fleece in all aspects (iykyk). They won't get anything from Filipino ladyboys who are in the same boat as them just trying to earn because most of them are from poor backgrounds. Farangs = $£€ that even the ones supposed to be catching the culprits will benefit. Their country...their rules regardless if it is bent! If you want to enjoy Thailand, you would need to either adapt or navigate the country without dealing much with the people. Ask the older foreigners who have been enjoying their retirement in Thailand without much problems, they will tell you the kinds of fire you are allowed to touch and the ones that will burn you alive.😂

A video has gone viral in Thailand of two Thai transwomen physically assaulting some foreign men in the Patong neighbourhood of Phuket. Police admitted that the transwomen may be sex workers, and the attack may have been sparked over a service fee dispute.

I'd bet my last baht on it...

Foreigners are no more "obsessed" with ladyboys than they are obsessed with women.

 

Does the fact that that 100's of thousands of foreigners turn up in Thailand, to have reasonably priced, easily and openly available, stigma free, no strings, leisure sex with women  indicate that they are "obsessed" and can't have sex with them in their own country?

 

Those are the reasons for Thailands enormously popular and lucrative leisure sex trade catering to foreign tourists:

 

Reasonably priced, easily and openly available, stigma free.........all on the back of a cheap tropical holiday.

 

It has proven a winning formula for Thai tourism.

Because they're blokes.... lest be honest for once.
