Pro tip: Chinese airline says Bangkok nothing but ‘shemale shows’

Forget about Wat Phra Kaew, affordable night markets and backpacker playgrounds, tourists need to know only one thing about Bangkok.

Air China’s inflight magazine this month suggests a trip to Bangkok is just all about “watching shemale shows.”

“A trip to Bangkok mostly includes watching shemale shows,” the magazine says. “As night falls the secular Bangkok dances in the colored lights. As curtains are pulled apart, tall and enchanting shemales come on stage amid enticing music. In bright lights, performers try all means to show their best side…”

FYI Air China… the word is ladyboy, or transgender if you’re cool enough.

The screenshot was taken and tweeted out by user Tom Phillips this afternoon.

Unfortunately, the story was cropped, but we imagine the rest of the article suggests tips on queue-cutting, in-flight brawling and the right temperature to throw your boiling noodles in someone’s face.
