Police are collecting information on transgender people working at a well-known nightlife area in Phuket to enhance public safety.
Local police and officials have implemented this measure along Bangla Road, near Patong beach.
Police said on Thursday that the plan aims to reduce tourist-related fights while encouraging locals to act as informants for crime prevention in the area.
The profile registration began a few days ago and continued early Thursday morning along Bangla Road, which is packed with entertainment venues, restaurants and hotels.
