News Forum - Foreign man attacked after allegedly slapping Phuket transwoman
Southeast Asian attitudes are shaped by Buddhism, much as Western attitudes have a historically bound and parochial cultural background. Kathoey is this a gloss for 'pandaka' (or, literally, eunuch but including intersex and nowadays glossed as 'neuter') in the Pali writ disseminated in Southeast Asia. Attitudes of Buddhism towards kathoey were not entirely positive, just because they were naturalistic about kathoey existence. After all, men and women have different virtues, and different cultivation as children: if someone is 'neuter' then it follows, that they can't have these virtues, or so the basic reasoning goes. The question is whether the popular stereotypes reflect the higher incidence of certain co-morbidities among the kathoey demographic. Remember that negative stereotypes as exist in Thailand and neighbouring countries, do consider kathoey as a bit crazy, but not as (for example) irrationally violent or delusional. The stereotype is that their emotions are unstable, which is the domain of personality disorders involving dysphoria. -

News Forum - Bangkok man arrested for luring underage teen (video)
The guy is 24 and the girl is 15. When we compare to some adults where the man is 70 plus hardly can stand and the girl is 30 plus where she is at her peak, this young couple looks normal in their life once they grow older. Further if the guy is having a good income and steady job, always giving money to the in-laws, would they complain any? Definetly not. They will embrace him with 10 arms.- 1

By the nature of the wrekage if the vehicle it is very obvious that the speed is nearly above 120km/hour which is the maximum allowable speed in some highways in Thailand. -

News Forum - Woman kills attacker in self-defense during home invasion in Ban Non Samakkhi
She should not be charged. She has done to save her dignity and life of herself and many of her kind. In fact this should be the way for all those culprits who take advantage on the weaker species. Just finish them off and close the file. The hazard is eliminated permanently. -

News Forum - Foreign man attacked after allegedly slapping Phuket transwoman
Prostitution and 100s of prostitutes, 12s of drug dealers and 100s of drug addics, 1000s of alcoholics, hustlers of all sorts, thefts of all sorts, that is (part of) Pattaya but then it could be any red district in any city around the world. Bad lives bring bad people, a concentration of them. That goes also for the ladyboys community. It is not rocket science. Total BS. ... And "the culture traditionally has a stereotype that they are a bit mental". Where on earth did you get this assumption from??? A question for you: how many Kathoey do you personally know? My guess is 0. You are writing about a subject without knowing anyone related to that subject.
