Thai flight attendants are demanding that a television series they say shows them as sex-obsessed bimbos not be aired.
The high-flying soap The Air Hostess War apparently caused anger in the industry after it opened with a three-day run earlier this month. The show features heated flirtations and petty revenge among the attractive cabin crew, complained the Thai Airways International labor union.
The show's opening scenes of vicious arguing between flight attendants over a handsome pilot was demeaning, said Somsak Srinual, acting president of the union.

Culture minister Khunying Khaisri Sri-aroon will be asked to help pull the program off the air. Representations will also be made to the Channel 5 television station and the chiefs of Thai Airways and the air force, said Somsak.
The layout of the cabin in the TV series clearly represents the inside of a Thai Airways plane, therefore the producers cannot argue that this is a fictional airline, the union leader said.
The series could very well stop young people from entering the industry if they believe the lifestyle is so emotionally draining, he added.
Darichat Jaikrajang, a Japan Airlines flight attendant, said the drama is deeply misleading: "Ability and discipline are far more important than physical beauty if you work as an air hostess.''
Media commentators frequently label Thai television as sensational and say it's willing to scrape the bottom of the social barrel in the hunt for high ratings. (DPA)
泰國空服員要求電視台停播一齣電視劇，他們覺得此劇把空姐拍成為性事著迷的花瓶。
這齣以航空業為背景的連續劇「空姐戰爭」本月初開播三天後，立即引發業者不滿；泰航工會抗議，該劇以一群俊男美女機組員間火熱的調情和鉤心鬥角的報復為主題。
工會代理主席宋薩．隋紐說，一群空姐為了一位英俊的機長而爆發激烈爭執的開場片段實在有損航空業形象。
工會要求文化部長坤英:凱西．西阿倫協助停播此劇；宋薩表示，他們也將向第五電視台、泰航長官和空軍表達抗議。
工會主席表示，電視劇中的客艙陳設明顯與泰航客艙相符，因此劇組製作無法以劇情純屬虛構作為藉口開脫。
他說，這齣電視劇裡描寫的那種煽情生活很可能讓對航空業有興趣的年輕人卻步。
一位在日本航空服務的空服員達莉查:賈卡雁表示，這齣連續劇嚴重誤導觀眾，「空服員的工作能力和紀律遠比外在美貌重要。」
媒體評論家常批評泰國電視太過聳動，甚至願意為了炒高收視率退而求其次選播一些爛節目。

Have you ever wondered who decides what we see in a museum or how one artwork seamlessly connects to the next? Behind every thoughtfully arranged gallery space stands a curator, a skilled professional who combines art and storytelling to craft meaningful experiences. The term “curator” originates from the Latin word cura, meaning “to care.” Curators were originally caretakers of museum collections, but over time, their role has grown to include a broad range of responsibilities that extend far beyond preservation. Today, curators manage, organize and interpret collections in cultural institutions like museums and libraries. They research, acquire and catalogue
