Phuket go-go dancer survives suicide plunge

Phuket Gazette

PHUKET: -- A broken-hearted transgender person is in intensive care at Patong Hospital after surviving a suicide plunge from a Phuket hotel last night.

A local media report listed the identity of the survivor as “Nong Yok”, a 33-year-old dancer at a night venue named as the “Russia A-Go-Go” club.

According to the report, Nong Yok tried to end her life by jumping from a fourth-floor room near her own accommodation at the Suksabai Hotel on Soi Baan Kamnan, near Patong Municipality Offices.

Nong Yok fell two floors before landing on an awning fitted to the second floor. She suffered head trauma, a broken leg and other injuries.

Medical staff at Patong Hospital reported they were keeping her under close observation, as her psychological condition was described as “very poor”.

Nong Yong, described in the report as “beautiful”, decided to end her life after learning that her Thai boyfriend had left her for another woman.

The report noted that Nong Yok was born a man, but had already undergone gender reassignment surgery.

After learning that an up-country wedding between the couple had already been planned, she decided to end her life, according to the report.

That would send many over the edge - dancer or not

Wishing her a complete recovery physically and mentally.

[walterego]

That is very sad. I do hope that this person can recover from the head trauma. My prayers go out for him.

Gender reassignment surgery? He had a sex change, for Christ's sake!

Well his exclamation indicates he is a fahrang of Judao-Christian belief system with all it's assumptions, prejudices and associated hypocrisies. Still we can't all be perfect

Matters of the heart are can destroy a person...I can truly see and understand how this can happen. My heart was so badly broken at one time due to loss of a love one,it took me 3 years to find the pieces...I wish a full recovery for "her"...

They are talking about attempted suicide here, not some medical illness. Suicide is never an excuse. Killing yourself is never an alternative to acknowledging that sometimes life sucks.

Hogwash. A bloke is a bloke is a bloke, whether they've had their equipment removed or not. Got nothing to do with screwed up western values.

I think sometimes it's very easy to judge, but hard to understand.

Do you think someone who attempts suicide is sound of mind. I think they must be suffering from depression at least, or grief. I would call that temporary mental illness of sorts.

My definition of suicide is: "A long-Term solution, to an often Short-Term problem . . . ."

BTW; I find it refreshing to read so many compassionate posts here; of course there are always some callous people among us; never mind !

Hope the victim makes a full recovery and eventually find that perfect soul-mate in life, like I was so very lucky to have found ! ! !

It is well known that a mental illness is the trigger of most suicides....

It goes against all natural human thoughts to take ones own life...mental illness removes this in built mechanism.....

[nahkit]

A Thai/Thai relationship ends with one of them trying to take their own life and the majority of postings on here are sympathetic (and quite rightly so) that a human being should be so desperately unhappy as to try to take their own life.

Why is it then that if the relationship had been Thai/Farang and the Farang jumped we would most likely have had a majority of postings saying it was their own fault for being stupid enough to fall in love?

No, the majority would have said it is not suicide but murder. He must have been pushed.

Well you are wrong. A woman is a women, and some are born into a man's body. Sorry to break it to you.

Hogwash! A woman born in a man's body is still a woman.

Gender Identity Crisis is just a fancy western term for someone with psychological issues. Most likely inflicted upon them during their formative years by their parents. Why do you think it is referred to as a "disorder" in medical texts?

As I said before, there is no such thing as a woman being born into a man's body.

[strollling]

So she(it) went down.

Bless.

Judeo Christian theology does accept gender reassignment surgery in many cases.

Not everyone is a pentecostal or ultra orthodox jew.

Sorry, but its the genes that control the development. People are born with all sorts of bits and pieces that do not fit with the gender assigned by the hormones flowing whilst the fetus is developing. Sometimes the "blueprints" the genes hold are defective. You might wish to read up on gonadal differentiation. It is not disputed by any reputable scientist. Do you really want a lecture in embryology?

I can't say I have enough experience of ladyboys to make such a statement - I good to have someone with in depth knowledge and expertise on the board.

Glad to see you counted them all and watched them all to be able to come up with this statement. Somebody had to do it, I'm glad it wasn't me.

[MissChris]

I get quite a chuckle about how nervous some male falang are around ladyboys. Probably due to utter ignorance.

Thais seem to be blithely accepting of them as a normal part of their society. Good for them!!!!

You mean Thais seem comfortable about something they've been around since birth.

And Westerners seem uncomfortable about something they've never really been exposed to.

Well, I hope your thesis will be made public when you complete it.
