Popular Post rooster59 Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 Ladyboy community suffering all over Thailand - appeals to government for help Image: Daily News A ladyboy performer has told the Thai press that their community is suffering greatly due to the coronavirus pandemic. They called on the government to help ladyboys as they have no money and can't support their families. The comments came as it was revealed that around 100 exotic performers at the Simon Cabaret in Phuket were laid off. The show in Kathu district announced last month that they were closing temporarily with no reopening date in sight. An unnamed performer spoke to Daily News after "farewell" songs familiar with the ladyboy community were posted on Tik Tok. They said it was a very sad situation and the dancers were trying to support one another. They were unable to provide money for their families. Everybody was suffering in the ladyboy performing community, not just in Phuket. Their colleagues in Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai and other tourist places in Thailand were in dire straits too. Their role was just one part of the overall tourism picture and others were suffering too, but the dancers are calling on the government and relevant authorities to recognise their contribution and recognise their plight. They said that they had limited opportunities for employment and needed help in these dark Covid-19 times. The 500 Simon Cabaret first opened in 1991 and is a well known tourist attraction on the island in the south of Thailand.

Popular Post KhunFred Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 It seems as though every 7-11 in Thailand employs at least ONE ladyboy. If they aren't too flamboyant, they can usually find some kind of work. I hate to see anyone starved out of existence. Ironic that Thailand is doubling down on visa regulations to make it difficult for their farang "cash cows" to live here. It is always "ready, FIRE, aim". in Thailand. Absolutely NO thought given to the consequences of actions. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do all the classics 'eating mama' 'go out and buy ice tea' 'get ready with me' 'what in my bag'. You will make a small salary.

No need to be so negative. Katoeys also do ordinary jobs, and they are in many occupations. Just because the most visible are those in night life does not mean they are a majority. I understand that they get their boobs on credit, so perhaps they are worried that if they don't get some money the docs will be looking to get them back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zikomat Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) The parasitic men who made a wrong bet on a tourism-related prostitution. The last group of the population who will deserve my personal compassion. P.S. We are talking here about those involved in the Pattaya and Phuket nightlife. Not about transgender scientists, highly skilled engineers and other Nobel prize winners. Edited August 8, 2020 by Zikomat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
