That innocent bump on the dance floor, which (apparently) started the whole thing, may not have been so innocent, hence the farang's response, and he was annoyed enough to continue with them the next day.

Hard to say of course.  Farang numba 1 could have a weed up his bumm about lady boys in general - not unheard of.   It's also not unheard of for lady boys on the hunt in pay for play farang bar areas, can get aggressive/competitive, and make pests of themselves.

I'd hazard a further guess that the offending taxi driver may work that area, and had this lot sussed out already.

Oh, I think, it is  clear.

The ladyboy/man did throw a shoe and hit a taxi.

And s/he wasn't alone, so the taxi driver ganged up, too.

Both are agressive in groups, as we know.

I'd say, that is a result go expect.

Or do you mean, while they  bumped "accidently" into the foreign man, they had the hands in his pockets and at his gold necklace?

What amuses yet saddens me, is the victim mentality on display, hiding being the idea they were somehow victims, just because they are 'ladyboys'. It's that sort of mentality I want to get away from, and sad to see it reach Thailand, where thoughts on this and tangentially related issues, like gender roles and sexuality, have always been more rational
