Ladyboy Miss Tiffany 2009, become a monk (video)
It can be strange in Thailand. You are born a man, but you want to look like a woman. After opting for breast implants, you are (partially) a woman. A beautiful woman even, because you win one beauty pageant for ladyboys: Miss Tiffany 2009. In the end you are not satisfied with your life and, as a man, you want to enter a convent.
This happened to Sorrawee Nattee (24), nicknamed 'Jazz', who was crowned beauty queen in Thailand four years ago. Jazz, who was born male, has decided to enter the monastery in Songkhla province.
“On the advice of my family, I had my breast implants removed,” says Nattee. Who, by the way, has not undergone a gender change and is therefore still a man.
The abbot of Liab Temple agrees: “Nattee is still a man physically and emotionally. He can enter the monastery without any problems.”
“I want to be a monk for the rest of my life and leave my worldly possessions behind,” Jazz said after joining Wat Liab in his province as a monk. “I didn't become a monk to run away from my problems, but I studied dharma for two years and now I want to know what it really is.” After his initiation his name is now Jazz Phra Maha Viriyo Bhikku, which means 'industrious person'.
He wants to thank his parents for what they did for him by entering the convent. Becoming a monk is the most noble act for a Thai man to accomplish in his lifetime.

This is a sad story because she is not alone. many ladyboys later go to the temple and become monks. It is a flight but also the disappointment that is sometimes attached to it in the dream they have to continue as a woman. Besides, the whole Miss pageant thing is a money grab. The candidates have to cough up a nice sum to be allowed to participate. In addition, the election is a straight card. On the jury is a doctor from Bangkok who has provided almost every ladyboy in the competition with the necessary; Who it will be is already known in advance. The show is long-winded due to the fact that it is a direct TV broadcast and the entrance fee is very expensive. The cheapest tickets are 1800bath.
