Travellers heading to Thailand have been urged not to carry a copy of George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984. The warning can supposedly be found inside the in-flight magazine of Philippine Airlines and has been circulated on Twitter. Passengers with Philippine Airlines are told that “Thailand is very safe for tourists” but are offered five tips to help “blend in”. They include “carry your passport (or a copy) with you at all times”, “avoid wearing red t-shirts, which are association with a group opposed to the military government”, and “don’t carry George Orwell’s dystopian novel ‘1984’. You don’t want to be mistaken for an anti-coup protestor.”
