PattayaMale Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 This came from Gay360. The most interesting thing is that Je Dao wants to go to America and work as a prostitute. What is the chance of getting a USA Visa???? "Former ladyboy monk (abbot) Je Dao of Sri Boon Reung temple in the northern province of Lamphun, has quickly and quietly disrobed. In ladyboy circles, Je Dao had become well-known for changing into a skirt and bra and sneaking out at night to discotheques. On top of that debauchery, Je Dao was known to sleep around with commoner gays. Je Dao had very recently come under the suspicions of locals who, alongside a female student, informed the cops of the truly immoral behaviour of a monk who takes medicine to grow breasts, goes out at night and enjoys having gay sex. Je Dao had found out that he was under investigation and so quickly disrobed and fled the temple on the morning of the 7th February. According to some other locals though, Je Dao has their full support and they feel proud of their former breasted ladyboy monk who didn’t quite live up to the expectations of an orange robed-one. According to Je Dao (newly-named Titsaman) in a confidential interview said “I am going to go and work in America within a couple of months”. (as in ‘work’ Je Dao used the Thai words ‘hah kin’ which can also be translated as ‘work as a prostitute’)" Quote
Guest shebavon Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I wish her all the luck. However if I was a ladyboy, the US would not be my top choice for a better life. It would be nice though, if the Obama team reviews immigration rules and eases restrictions on Gays and Persons Living With AIDS. Perhaps the US can look towards Thailand for some suggestions. Quote
Guest Astrrro Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I know of at least three ladyboys who did short stints as novice monks, but then I think many young lads do this. I think that sometime's a boy's family encourages him to become a novice monk, my terminology may be wrong. And I think the idea is that it will be temporary, just a way of making some merit. It's unclear from the article how senior a monk this boy is. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I think that sometime's a boy's family encourages him to become a novice monk I believe most famlies expect their sons - whatever 'gender' - to do this before they get to a certain age - even if it is only for a week or two. Titsaman sounds an enterprising guy. With such notioriety, I reckon he could make a pretty good living in Bangkok. Quote
payless Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I believe most famlies expect their sons - whatever 'gender' - to do this before they get to a certain age - even if it is only for a week or two. Every male Thai Buddhist aged 20 or over is expected to ordain as a monk at some time during his life. The length of time is entirely up to him and his family. A favourite time for ordaining is for the duration of the three month Phansa or Buddhist Lent. The monk-to be is told by the abbot that he owes everything - his well-being, education, life itself, and above all the opportunity to become a monk - to his parents who have raised him since babyhood. Now is his chance to repay that tremendous debt by renouncing all worldly pleasures for a while, so bringing his parents the opportunity to earn merit. He is especially doing this for his mother who is unable to become a monk herself.Thai Bhuddism Quote
