1) Why are there so many transgendered people in Thailand?
I think it is because people don't think transgendered people are peculiar in Thailand. It is easy to say "I am transgendered person," in Thailand.
While in most of the countries like Japan, a sex transformation is unfamiliar thing. Then, transgendered people are thought strange there. However, Thailand is different from these countries. That's why I answered like that.
I researched about this question on the Internet. If you are interested in it, look this!

2) What do you think about transgendered people and their civil rights?
I think it is difficult to deal with transgender. I can't imagine that my body and mind have different thinking about gender. Transgendered people must undergo hardships, so I think they are worthy. Also, they should have their civil rights.
