"There are actually a lot. We don't care about it at all. Thai people consider it karma." When asked if they were bullied, he replied, "No. You actually get a choice in some schools which uniform you prefer wearing."

1. [+2,128, -19] It's so fun hearing about how other countries work ㅋㅋ Really interesting that they get to pick which gender uniforms they want to wear.. ㅋㅋ

2. [+1,754, -60] I felt that the majority of Thailand would be more conservative so it's surprising to hear that they're so open about transgenders

3. [+1,256, -67] I find the transgenders to be a lot prettier and feminine than me...

4. [+947, -33] I believe they even have a show on transgenders..

5. [+512, -21] I live in Thailand myself and it's true that people don't really care. There are a lot of transgender employees at the mall, on TV, I see about 1 in 5 on the streets. A lot also become stewardesses. They're exempt from the army as well but had to write in that they were mentally ill which people protested about so they don't do that anymore. The media also enjoys spotlighting some super pretty ones who cross dress or are just prettier in general at the army physical examinations. They're model-level ㅋㅋ

6. [+133, -2] If you go to college in Thailand, you can see a lot of men who wear make up or dress like a female. Their gestures and manner of speech are feminine as well;;

7. [+123, -5] I went to a famous transgender show in Thailand once and the models there are seriously top level. Tiny faces, long limbs, so pretty ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ All of the Koreans with us were going crazy at how pretty they were ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I also like Tachara-ssi, such a positive impression and good Korean skills to boot ㅋㅋ what a bright young man

8. [+120, -13] This makes me want to go to vacation to Thailand... people really are that lax over there? He said they don't get angry, daebak...

9. [+97, -7] So glad to learn about different cultures through this show. A lot of interesting topics.

10. [+121, -33] Thailand is a Buddhist nation... so it seems that it's engrained in their culture to accept differences. Buddhism accepts all religions and they have a chance to wash away their karma through reincarnation. Way better than "you're going to hell if you don't believe us!!!" like Christianity ㅋㅋ
