Caught up north
By BKKDreamer
What are Thai kathoey (ladyboys) who fall foul of the law best known for?
1. They are sex-mad
2. They like to steal
A kathoey gang in Chiang Mai has only confirmed that stereotype after they were caught stealing from drunken drivers parked along the side of the road.
However, they did not just steal - they also gave their male victims a small thank you. One sucked his little bird, to borrow the Thai slang, as an expression of thanks for the items they were about to take.
If the car was unlocked, they would invite themselves in.
Police, who extracted a confession, said the ‘kathoey kwai gang’, as they are known, performed this trick at least 40 times. Police tracked them down after a motorist who lost a gold chain, cellphone and B5000 cash to the thieves laid a complaint.
hey found many stolen items - among them, 15 cellphones, two laptop computers, a one-baht weight gold chain, pawn shop tickets, even four motorbikes.
Normally, they sold the items to raise money for group gang-bangs with men. They specifically preyed on drunken men, and always worked as a gang.

It’s a small world. My ex-boyfriend knows one of those “buffalo kathoeys.” He just told me this story five minutes ago. The one he knew, called Nam Daeng, was huge and grotesque, he said. So I’m guessing he’s the big one on the right.
We both agreed that drunken robbery victims are probably not in the mood for intimate relations, so that part of the story may just be someone’s imagination….

I think this would make a brilliant documentary.

The four gang members used to divide up their duties. One looked out for police, another robbed the victim. The big one sat on the driver so he wouldn’t struggle, while the fourth paid his little bird a visit.

Hmm, this could actually be true. The grotesque Nam Daeng could sit on the driver, while the cutest one tried to steal a quickie. I guess it might have made the victim slightly less eager to call the cops.
Maybe.

I don’t see how I could have enjoyed any service with that huge ladyboy sitting on top of me.
