About 6 years back I was visiting Songkhla for work and I stayed at the big rundown hotel next to the mermaid statue on the beach. I checked the tv channels and coronation street was on (I think it was on an Ozzie channel). I hadn't seen coronation street in decades - had to tear myself away from it to get down to the Irish bar.
