Two ladyboys who danced naked to 'Splash Out' apologize to public, transgender community

BANGKOK: -- Two ladyboys published an online apology to the public today and begged internet users to stop sharing a video clip in which the duo dances naked to “Splash Out,” a hit song by 3.2.1 and Baitoei R-siam.

In their recent video, the transgender women claimed that their carelessness and spontaneity were caused by intoxication. The video, titled “Man Naen Ok Loey Tong Thod,” went viral over the weekend and sparked a public outcry, especially from the transgender community.

A number of fellow transgender women made online clips condemning the duo, saying that their behavior could taint the reputation of transgender women throughout Thailand.

Was this a BIB undercover operation?

[enjoybeing]

I saw a few people posting this on FB. Isn't that illegal here?? I wanted to say something to them but they were all Thai posters and I figured they know the law better than me.

The colorful response clips don't help their reputation much either.

It went viral; and that means it was very popular.

SO BAN IT and arrest them!!!

Which is absurd because you can see most any naked act that two humans can do

together, on the net 24/7, and the BIB and ministry of culture blocking teams

have never succeeded in stopping access to MOST OF IT. Someone sends them a link they block it,

leaving 10's of thousands available to anyone who looks.

It really is about time they give up the charade of attempting control the sexual thoughts of Thais.

it is not working.

Who did the botched up boob job on the guy? One is higher than the other, to many whiskies out the back of the mum and pop store during that operation.

Lol - saw the dancing vid. Saw the "apology" vid (didn't realize it was connected at first). Just finding out now that they are lady boys ! (Have I been gone that long already ?)

(The vid keeps popping up on different pages and then getting deleted within hours (or even minutes it seems). Good thing I didn't save a copy on my computer (delete-delete-delete) !

You obviously haven't seen the clip. They looked like they were having a great time ,....and so was i . I almost wanted to get my gear off and start dancing. And i thought they were both girls. Fooled me , although the taller one did look a little suspect.

Yeah - both sets looked rather...............ummmmm............I'll be back in a minute.................

Ha!! They're afraid their actions might taint the otherwise unblemished image of LB's, what a joke.

And why are there references to transgendered women? They're men, transgendered men, aren't they.

And, why do they feel they have to make a public apology; that's done by people normally in the public eye who have a reputation to protect and whose words and actions actually matter to the public. I'm sure nobody cares about the remorse of these freaks except the rest of their freakish, (but untainted!) community.

Does being a member of a specific community restrict your freedom of expression?

They may have changed their bodies but the mind is most definitely Thai. On IN Channel news this morning it was reported their response to the anger of fellow transgenders was to say people should stop posting the video while completely ignoring the fact that they made it and put it out there first.

[Mampara]

Does anybody happen to know why a lady-boys foreskins are called mud flaps?

[EyesWideOpen]

That is one of the worst boob jobs I have seen. Time to rob some more farangs, and then head straight to Yan Hee hospital for a fix it job...

"Beef Curtains" was already taken by the real ladies?

[BookMan]

Ladyboy Style!

[bangkokrick]

I don't see why the transgendered community should be at all worried by a couple of young people having a good time. However I can see why they would be concerned over the Transgenders that are stealing, mugging and drugging tourists in Pattaya/Phuket but they appear not to be.

[CrisRMenumate]

First reaction... wow this is such an important news story, there is nothing else important in the world that we should focus our attention on these 2 idiots behaving like idiots. The only ones they shamed was themselves. Why is it that Thai seem to think that what one or two individuals does has an impact on what people think of the entire nation or a segment of it? I get my impression and opinion on "Lady Boys" by how they behave in the street in general public, in Pattaya, Samui, Phuket and Bangkok you can see enough of their behaviour to know that this silly video is barely an "amuse bouche" in the context of the the reality of the general behaviour of this particular sub-group within Thai society. Just My opinion of course.

[JetsetBkk]

Without a link, I just don't believe it.

[somtampet]

Always said Bangkok,was the capital of depravity lol lol. u dont see ladyboys in Pattaya doing this sort of obscene behaviour lol lol

[harryfrompattaya]

I'm not really interested by this story

Same with me I saw the video 658 times I do not understand why one will watch it

It should be banned

[RKASA]

Does being a member of a specific community restrict your freedom of expression?

Yes - It would seem just being Thai is obviously one of them, as much as this is. Don't fly model planes in mixed company ether.

[epicstuff]

I havent seen the video but it sounds harmless. it was taken in a private setting I am assuming. they wernt forcing themselves on anyone I think, and they were reasonably pleasing to the eye.. far less serious in my book to that other LB story a week or so ago on the boat.pestering bystanders.

Love that about reputations of LB's. i think these 2 sum it up ,. no reputations tarnished here, just business as usual.. if you can give me the link I'll judge it properly..

[Globeman]

I saw a few people posting this on FB. Isn't that illegal here?? I wanted to say something to them but they were all Thai posters and I figured they know the law better than me.

Ya reckon? Perhaps so though, they couldn't possibly bend and break the laws so cavalierly without knowing which ones they were.

[Baerboxer]

Someone sent this link to my missus on FB yesterday, and several hundred others. She thought they were naked girls and phoned me to say a bit OTT. By the time a looked several hours later it had been removed. My missus only realised they were LB's when she saw the newspaper this morning.

Crazy - glanz in the bars/clubs in Soi Cowboy, Nana or Patpong and see nude and topless dancers. But this gets censored!

[PoodMaiDai]

Oh my god, naked ladyboys dancing on the internet!!!!! I don't know how Thailand and the Thai people can tolerate the shame. I can't imagine how embarrassing it would be if they ever caught police on video taking bribes.

Now if you all will excuse me, I'm heading to Patpong to watch a young naked girl shoot a dart from her vagina across the room and pop a balloon while it is being held by a tourist, see you guys later.

[Kru Baa]

Does being a member of a specific community restrict your freedom of expression?

In most places in the world it usually does.

[thailandist]

I think the ladyboy "ladies of the night" have tainted the Thai transgender community way more than that video ever could.

[ChinChanGamble]

Looks like I'm going to confession in the morning, I had some terrible terrible thoughts while I was watching it! Completely had me fooled!
