SAMUT PRAKAN : A transvestite has won a village head election after decades of service to the community.
Choochat Dulayapraphatsorn, 46, beat three other candidates during the village head election in his community late last month, and last Wednesday he was effectively appointed by a district chief as the village chief of Ban Moo 3, tambon Tai Ban Mai, Muang district.
Mr Choochat, called ''Je Kob'' or older sister Kob by villagers, said he decided to run for the post after serving as an assistant. The election was held after the previous village head resigned.
Mr Choochat said he believes the residents voted for him because they have witnessed what he has contributed to their community over many years.
