A few years ago a Thai Government official wanted to put a halt to the many transvestite shows on public television.
"They are not part of Thailand's heritage, and do not represent Thailand's image."
Of course that never happened.
Most of the Ladyboys are extrovert and flamboyant, making for a lot of fun entertainment at public and private events.
It came as little surprise to me that a Buddhist preacher in Chiang Rai came up with a plan to educate and curb the flamboyant behavior of transgender monks.
Finally someone admits they are among us. Education is the logical solution.
There's a time and a place for these antics. The temple just isn't the right place.
BBC News Asia- Pacific: "Etiquette guide for Thai monks."
Trends Updates: "Good manners to be taught to Thailand's gay monks."
