Where are all the scowling IO"s I keep reading about frogmaching every second tourists into interrogation rooms and then throwing them into filthy cells?

 

 

Isn't this a rather old documentary ??

Is there something so very special about BKK immigration ??  I would guess most countries have similar problems.

Not really.

 

Here's one, from the same year (2015) about exotic, dream destination.....Cardiff:

 

The Airport, series 1 episode 1 - YouTube

 

 

This a very old tv series

Someone trying to paint a positive image of Immigration much in 2019? ????????????

 

"Bangkok Airport" series from BBC (2015)

 

Series 1 had 6 episodes.

 

There was no Series 2.

The series with Captain Jack was hilarious!  It was a few years ago. Anyone that can imagine a series which would paint any aspect of the Kingdom or the government in a negative way is dreaming. The participants could never return. 

they got it all wrong from the very first second: An ImmOfficer smiling at fresh guests...

The series is from 2015. I just watched the episode and it was hilairious. Made me embarrassed to be a Brit, seeing the absolute idiots they featured. Where do they find these people.

Yes. I have seen all episodes. But a re-view might still be fun

 

Just checked my disk.

I stored them in 2015. Episodes 1 to 6 but missing 5 for unknown reasons.

lyrics "Captain jack" . billy joel

 

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of living in your one horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
For awhile

So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'

Oh yeah

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
You just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon
But you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ah but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all…

This old documentary series is called the happiest airport in the world I think. Its several years old and is in 6 parts

Who is the champion compiling newsletter who is not even able to remember when he put a link that he already put it 3 lines above ?

Thai staff are great ❤️

I passed through BKK yesterday despite what appeared to be a long queue it took approx 15 minutes to get to the luggage carousel. A nice smiling IO to boot.

Looks like they are all in Don Mueang Airport BKK.

Friend of mine just came back from a trip to Vietnam and said they carted several peeps off in front of him, as he went through passport check. Seems that they didn't have the correct visa or paperwork. Oh and no Bu//er smiled. The Norm for I/Officers here.
