Lady Boys Apprehend Thief.

In a complete role reversal from the traditional ‘lady-boy robs unwary foreigner story’, a 27 year old Thai man who was in the process of helping himself to the valuables located in an apartment building in a soi off Central Pattaya road on Thursday night, found himself confronted by an angry gobble of katoeys.

The man had around 30 keys in his possession and was allegedly systematically going through as many rooms as he could get into, stealing whatever he could lay his hands on. Normally, the lady boys who inhabit the apartment block are all out and about attending to their nightly task of earning a precarious living, but on this occasion someone was still in the block and, after noticing a light on in one of the apartments, called for high-heeled back-up.

The man was detained at the apartment and police were soon at the scene, before he was taken away for further questioning.

and NOT a gaggle of geese .... But this writer deserves some credit!

It is an interesting turn of phrase.

One could go all avian and talk about gobbling turkeys (what is the collective noun for turkeys?) attacking the turn key thief, or degenerate with other inferences of the word gobble and precarious livings. :o

One on the left isnt that bad looking. :o

I wonder if catching the thief was more because it was where they lived than being good citizens?? I hope for the latter. :D

I was gonna say the one on the back left is kinda cute! If they didn't live there, how would they have known a light was on that shouldn't have been?

Perhaps using this definition:

"gobble - the characteristic sound made by a turkey cock"

the standard of writing at pattaya news has certainly improved of late.

a "gobble of katoeys" is pure poetry , up there with other classics such as

a mass of priests , a body of pathologists and a brace of orthodontists.

Think Howard needs to give the lad a raise who is doing the writing while he is away!!! :o
