I saw this in the Thai news media also. In general, this sort of behaviour is unusual and frowned upon in Thailand. The new constitution when it arrives is believed to contain a section outlawing anti-transgender activity. TGs are widely accepted in all walks of life here, not just the sex industry. Two out of my last three haircuts were done by a “lady-boy” hair dresser and the last one was very good.
