A Russian tourist embarrassed to find the woman he hired for sex
was really a man were arrested after breaking the cross dresser’s nose.
Vladimir Bodrov, 28, was taken into custody by Tourist Police officers
outside short-time rental rooms on Soi 16 and Walking Street Dec. 13.
Screaming in Russian, Bodrov had to be restrained after starting another
fight with the ladyboy.
Thirayut Thongphiromsanti, 23, was bleeding from the nose and the broken
cartilage was visible. Police charged both men with public fighting.
Thirayut told police that Bodrov had hired him for a short-time tryst
for 1,000 baht, but when the Ruskie saw him naked, and could see
Thirayut still had an extra appendage, he started hitting him.
The transvestite complained that he’d spent 80,000 baht on cosmetic
surgery and that the foreigner should pay him 20,000 baht for the
broken-nose job. Bodrov refused to pay anything in compensation and the
Tourist Police suggested Thirayut should try his crying game in court.
