STOP PRESS: 9th Nov. 2009.
New information.
According to the owner of Cocktails & Dreams … she’s “at home in the jungle”.
We’ll leave this open until we have definitive news.
We almost made a year without an update on this site but I was just informed by Bob from Bob’s Tgirls that a photographer who works for him, DJ Asia, reported that Ming aka Ming Tiger, was killed in a motorbike accident last week.
As noted below, we don’t have concrete facts on this but as somebody well versed with the ladyboy scene in Thailand and there being little communication between the girls, it’s entirely possible that this report is correct.
Bob from Bob’s Tgirls:
“October 24, 2009:
The details are not absolutely confirmed, as DJ Asia explains below. But it appears that Ming is no longer with us. DJ informed me of this about a week ago. We discussed how much we both liked her - not just as a very hot model, but as a person. I spoke to Ming on the phone some months prior to my first visit to Thailand. After my arrival she called me repeatedly me because she wanted to meet me and hang out. She was lost of fun in person. I’ve been planning a trip to Thailand for late this year. I was looking forward to seeing Ming again. I will miss her.
I asked DJ to say a few words that I could included on her page. As I read his words, I noticed similarities to how I feel about her. I echo DJ’s words about her uniqueness. Ming is one of the relative few that I can’t categorize. She is in a class of her own. The unique girls like Ming are the ones I enjoy spending time with most. I’m sure the loss of Ming will be felt by many.”

Its with great sadness that I have to announce the passing of Thai beauty Ming.
Details are quite sketchy, but apparently she was involved in a motorbike accident somewhere in the south of Thailand. At this point I’m going on hearsay, as there is no “community” so to speak here in Thailand and most folks haven’t even heard the news. What I can say is her phone has been off for several months and that alone is quite unusual. Even her roommate here in Bangkok has no idea what has become of her.
Ming besides being a beautiful girl, was quite unique as she was a very smart girl, with a sharp sense of humor. She also carried with her a level of maturity and a hint of wariness well beyond her years. In a land where a lot of the girls are quite similar in their line of thinking and mannerisms, Ming was the exception.
She was also very honest and open with me on many subjects.
A couple years back she phoned me and asked if she could meet me as she had something of importance to discuss with me. We met at a Bangkok eatery and after a few minutes she asked to borrow some money, not a lot, but not little either. Typically I wouldn’t lend a girl money but I considered her a friend, above and beyond the standard working relationship I have with others and gave her the cash.
Several months passed and I had completely forgotten the loan. We did a shoot one afternoon and I went to pay her and she refused the money giving me a funny look and reminding me that she owed me a shoot. I had forgotten, but she had not. That was Ming.
I write this with some reluctance as I honestly have no way to confirm her passing other than what I have been told by the few people that knew anything at all. If this turns out to be untrue and she has been chilling at her family farm this whole time, I will look foolish but at least we will have one of my favorite models and good friends back here with us.
We miss you Ming

Ming worked for a number of sites and was one of the most popular Thai models. I met her a few times, the first in Phuket about 6 yrs ago although I’d seen her working in Cascades in Bangkok, within the last few years.
She was known as Mint on Ladyboy-Ladyboy.com
