Perhaps the recent theft by Theeramate is a reminder to not jump to conclusions

Great news for Indian tourists, go ahead and hug those ladyboys.

“I want to apologize to the victim. I am at a dead end and do not know what to do.”

Dear Theeramate...u dont worry ...what you will do now is try to survive the next five years in a maximum security prison..i guess bhang kwan in beautifully nonthaburi near the river...

Thailand must introduce some kind of proper social help to avoid such desperate acts...

Police chief Kullachart Kullachai checked Theeramate’s record, though, and found that he committed two similar crimes in 2012 and 2016. 

Oops… previous similar offenses means an extra 4 or 5 years on in top of the probably 2 &1/2 years he’ll have to serve for this act. So probably 5 years before release from  Nongplalai Remand Centre for him.

Wouldn't it make sense for the sisters foundation to educate and help their transgender sisters if they really want to help them?  Blaming tourists about negative stereotypes ain't going to help if the reported thefts are primarily committed by transgender women. That's just what the data says

Just in time, then, for the next "dead end" situation, every 6 years?

Question: who believes that he got caught every time he stole something?

 

And another one: 10ish Indian man got robbed by transgenders, what has a one male robbing a girl to do with "not jumping to conclusions" about transgender and there intentions, while wanting to "hug" you out of the blue?

It is a revolving door for some of those people. Do the time and leave as unemployable, older and none the wiser. Some of them are career criminals but not all of them are but they all are “cared for” the same.

Hey! 

How about our conclusion of wearing golden necklaces is a stupid thing to do as they can be stolen, therefore the one who wears it is wrong? 

Or..... Does this only count for Indian tourists? 

It seems like now the victim and the criminal are both Thai, we came to our senses, and that whoever stole it, is wrong.

"The Pattaya Sisters Foundation said last week that tourists are now being “noticeably vigilant” around transgender workers."

Weren't people already, for different reasons?
