A brawl erupted between a Thai transwoman and a foreign man at a hotel in Phuket after the foreigner refused to pay upon discovering her gender.

 

A source, who wishes to remain anonymous, reported the altercation between the Thai transwoman and the foreign man to the local news Facebook page, Phuket Times, on November 18. The page shared a post.

 

“Phuket: A foreign tourist took a Thai girl to a hotel, only to find that she was not a woman but a transwoman. He chased her away and refused to compensate her for wasting her time, as she requested. They then involved in an altercation.”

 

The Facebook page provided more details in the comments section. According to the news source, the foreign man asked the transwoman to leave the hotel, stating that he did not know she was not a woman.

 

During the argument, they threw items at each other in the hotel room, causing chaos in the hotel. The incident reportedly took place in the Patong area of Phuket.

 

 

The post garnered significant attention from Thai netizens, receiving over 5,000 reactions, 720 likes, and 190 shares.

 

Some netizens criticised the transwoman for not revealing her gender upfront.

 

“Hey! You should have told him the truth. It’s not bad at all that you are a transwoman but you must tell the truth. This is about sexual preference. Many people like you, but some don’t.”

 

“This happens in every hotel in Phuket. I witnessed it once at my hotel. The transwoman was kicked out of the room!”

 

“Hiding the truth about gender can lead to many issues, and sometimes it can be fatal. I was a receptionist at a hotel, and a foreign guest attempted suicide after he unknowingly slept with a transwoman. A maid saved him in time.”

 

“This is about consumer rights. All transwomen should be honest. You would never waste your time if you told him the truth from the start. We have different sexual preferences, and no one can force anyone to like what they don’t.”
