Thai transwomen fight over foreign client on Phuket’s Bangla Road

Another physical fight broke out between Thai transwomen on Soi Bangla in Phuket last night, reportedly over a dispute to win the heart, and wallet, of a foreign client.

 

Local news outlet Phuket Times reported on the incident, which occurred on the yesterday, November 26.

 

“Ladyboys! Violent altercation! Bangla Road, Patong. Fighting over a foreign client. Ignoring repeated warnings. Locals are tired of this behaviour. Many entertainment venues banned them. Some have criminal histories, including theft from foreigners. Authorities must act to protect Phuket’s tourism image before more damage is done.”

 

Photographs shared by the media depicted two transwomen engaging in a physical fight, eventually collapsing to the ground. Other transwomen gathered around to cheer and support their respective friends.

 

Channel 7 released CCTV footage showing a transwoman dressed in black following another dressed in white. The pair exchanged heated words before the individual in white grabbed her rival by the hair.

 

The fight spilled onto the road, lasting several minutes before the participants were separated, seemingly without police intervention.

 

 

Many netizens expressed frustration in the Phuket Times comments section about the frequent altercations involving transwomen. One Thai woman shared her personal experience, saying:

 

“I was once walking with my foreign boyfriend when a transwoman unexpectedly slapped me in the face, accusing me of stealing her client. This behaviour is unacceptable. Authorities must address the issue.”

 

Other commenters pointed out the negative impact such incidents have on the broader transgender community, while others found the incident a normal thing in the province.

 

“Your actions tarnish the reputation of all transwomen. You’re harming your community’s image while working in the same area!”

 

“Don’t be embarrassed. This kind of behaviour is normal in red-light districts. If it’s not transwomen fighting, it’s foreigners. At least transwomen don’t fight every day, foreigners do.”

I suspect that the foreign boyfriend was a tad embarrassed to  have been found out.

Could have led to an interesting conversation.

...just boys being girls ...😁

Just ban them . They’re a nuisance, don’t shy away from robbing normal tourists and giving Thailand a bad name which it doesn’t need. 
I put them in the same category as the force, and Thai drivers.

I vaguely remember an expression involving a stable door and a horse.  Now, how does that go again....?

[bananafish]

Are they trying to phase out the term "ladyboy"? Most of them like that term, you know.

Ah, they call them "clients" nowadays?

[neeray]

No need to fight. There's lots to go around, both foreigners and ladyboys.

There you have it.  We're lower than ladyboys in the Thai pecking order.  Act accordingly.

I think you meant to say it's in their jeans.

[ronster]

They seem to like fighting a lot .

Surely they could start their own version of UFC and make money that way instead of mugging or robbing people 😄

[Luuk Chaai]

like the way they always complicate things ...

I blame the Foreigner, If He (or She) agreed to a Thai sandwich then everyone would be happy......

How sad.... 

[KhunLA]

Not up on my DEI slang, and not wanting to offend any alphabet folks ...

 

... since 2 dudes fighting, is this a 'dog fight' or a 'cat fight', since both are in drag.  Maybe a 'dragon fight'

Of course Thais are so squeaky clean, they don't fight in the streets do they.. 

some stay home and beat or kill their families, friends and neighbours.

[sikishrory]

Put a ring in the middle of the street and let them fight. Or send them to the army

[jippytum]

Good new for us handsome foreigners.  Even the Thai men are  fighting each other to gain our favours.
