And unless they are ugly, they may even get a leaflet with some back ground information:

 

According to official statistics, an average of 87 cases of sexual violence against women and children were reported in 2013 per day in Thailand - about one case every 15 minutes. The official figure for 2013 was 31,866 reported cases.

why fly with an airline that can't figure out how to treat people equal......where is the fairness to the guy with 10kg extra luggage who has to pay. Is the extra fuel cost spread out on all the male passengers ticket prices?

I hope they make sure they don't wear bathing suits, tights, short shorts, drink too much alcohol, look or smile too much...this could lead to an assault, which will be blamed on them after it occurs.
