Phuket's bustling Bangla Road witnessed a skirmish involving two Israeli tourists and a group of transgender women, resulting in injuries on both sides. The altercation, captured on video and shared widely, erupted on March 5 in the nightlife hotspot.

 

The conflict began over accusations of client-stealing between a few transgender women and two Thai women. As the Israeli tourists attempted to intervene, they became embroiled in the dispute. The footage shows the tourists fleeing as the situation escalated, pursued by the transgender group.

 

 

Emergency services responded swiftly, with the injured tourists treated at Patong Hospital. Local authorities were able to identify three of the transgender participants: Suwicha, 20, Apisit, 28, and Siwapoom, 29. All involved face charges of disturbing public order, carrying potential fines of up to 5,000 baht each.

 

In response to this and similar incidents, the Israeli Embassy in Thailand has urged its citizens to exercise caution. Recently issued guidelines strive to maintain cordial relations and advise Israeli tourists on how to navigate their visits to Thailand respectfully.

 

 

Highlighting the importance of preserving the positive relationship between Israeli visitors and the Thai population, the embassy's statement encouraged travelers to adhere to local norms and enjoy their stay peacefully, ensuring such occurrences do not tarnish the reputation of the Israeli tourist community in Thailand, reported The Thaiger.

They need to introduce segregated areas for those creatures and their weirdo customers and not let them mingle with the rest of us

[Jingthing]

Fierce!

Are we sure they weren't transgenic? 

[BangkokReady]

They're so feminine.  You really can't tell the difference!  🫣

Hookers, booze and trans people....always a recipe for trouble....

You could've just said you can't tell the difference and get angry at yourself for being attracted to them.

Whose country is this? Not yours. If you don't like it you can leave. Your bigotry doesn't belong here, and you're not welcome to be here and display it.

time for outrage...

family destination reputation gone bad...

The trannies or the Israelis?

Always these Israelis... Anywhere, everywhere, all the time

"As the Israeli tourists attempted to intervene, they became embroiled in the dispute."

 

Why? Why? Why? Why are people unable to control their urges to intervene in other people's business. Of all things to get involved in, an all Thai squable about client-stealing. In the video, the Israel tourist looked like an idiot running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. The Israeli emabassy urges their citizens to use caution. How about asking their citizens to use some common sense? I guess that's a big ask, common sense is not that common.

I was in Phuket last year and the island is now one big garbage heap, people seem to keep on traveling to Phuket but it was such a pale shadow of what it was when I was last there 10 years ago. It was absolutely overflowing with low end Malaysians, Arabs, Indians and especially the spectacularly unpleasant Russians, no thanks I never need to go back. 

 

The traffic was an abomination, everything was overpriced, Bangla Road was utterly horrific with barely an attractive woman in sight, and the entire place just reeked. No wonder Phuket is having so many problems.

I crossed the place off my list in 2008.

 

I suspect even those who live in a nice place there long term, who  know the places where tourists never get to are now suffering from what's happened over the last couple of years.

Antisemitic Thai transsexuals strike again.

Have to agree with that it’s a shame it used to be such a great place to go amazingly friendly, but now a bloody <deleted>hole especially since the scum from Russia moved in as well as all the nasty dregs from Asia & Middle East, You now have to go.down to the very expensive parts with the Pullman & Siri Panwa  at B30,000/night to find enjoyable hols

If you needed any proof that men who wants to be woman feel like woman, here it is. They even got PMS.

I left Samui 10 years ago, and though I go back to visit occasionally I'm incredibly thankful to no longer be living there, for a dozen good reasons.

 

The same applies to Phuket, other than the Andaman it is more or less a boring and over crowded, over priced wasteland.

I agree, keep asshats like you away from normal thinking people.

Yeah, well, the Zionist Israelis for sure! After 32 years living in Thailand I've certainly noted more negative  issues cropping up with Israelis than Thai transgenders. Back in 1989 the Thai guest house I stayed at on Khao Sarn Rd was always "full" when an Israeli asked if there were any rooms available. They didn't want to deal with the hassle that they were pretty sure would come. Thailand being one of the few SE Asian countries to let Israelis in means a lot of the riff-raff come here. 

 

As for this skirmish at Phuket I'm surmising  that an Israeli said and/or did something disrespectful to a transgender who maybe already on edge given  some farang attitudes towards this type of person (just read some of the comments on this thread!). Sure I get catcalls from  ladyboys sometimes but pass it off in good humor -never give back a nasty retort or get physically violent.

 

 

[wensiensheng]

Not sure why so much emphasis on it being Israelis. The dispute was between local ladies and wannabe ladies. Two tourists tried to help out and got clattered for their sins.

 

it’s nice to try and help people, but the height of stupidity in Thailand. Not only are you likely to come off worst, but also you’ll be in a headline that implies blame on your part.
