Thailand is home to what is known as 'the third gender', people who are men trapped in women's bodies and vice-versa. These kind of people feel trapped and confused and are often unhappy with their life and that has lead to a rise in plastic surgery in Bangkok for those wishing to have a sex change and who want to be the gender that they always though they should be. This does come with some social stigma as transgender have always been looked down upon in society and in Thailand this is no different but this is something where they can learn from the West where the rise of LGBT advocates and same sex marriages are paving the way for a new kind of family unit to be produced.
