Thai Documentary Featuring Samui

[NALAK]

how the show is billed, tourist board really do have to get there act together the show does show Samui as not a good place to go, well in fact the whole of Thailand looks prity bad. show is called Big trouble in thailand

about the show

Wiith unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the Thai Tourist Police, Big Trouble in Thailand an action packed fly-on-the-wall series that follows Howard, Louise and Tim, specially recruited British ex-pats who have joined the formidable Thai tourist police force, to aid them in their difficult job policing fellow Westerners unaware and oblivious to Thailand’s unfamiliar traditions, culture and rules.

Attracting nearly 1m British holidaymakers each year, with a good proportion of these completely unaware that fairly minor misdemeanours can mean grave consequences including prison sentences and having guns pulled on you, Bravo’s cameras go beyond the idyllic beaches and tropical island life to capture a rare and fascinating insight into British holidaymakers as they party in paradise and discover the horrors that can happen when things go drastically wrong.

From adrenaline fuelled drug busts, organised tourist scams, scorned lady-boys, violent brothel disputes, bar room brawls, brutal murders, street robberies and sexual assaults, the series is filmed in the popular tourist hotspots of Koh Samui, Phuket, Bangkok, Pattaya and Chang Mai.

just downloading at the moment part 3..

part 1 and 2 where mainly based in KP , and showed the samui Court. But the main pointer the program expressed is if you are caught for a crime .. ( drugs in this case ) just pay the police to let you off

Yep its on Bravo here in UK ....

3rd episode was on last night but honestly cant remember it being in Samui... not even for a few minutes ....

Bangkok, Pattaya, Phucket ..... and Phangyan for the full moon party of course....

For everyone who has been to Thailand it really isnt that bad at all, they just capture all the things you know you really shouldnt do in Thailand...... ie drink drive on mopeds / rent jet ski / argue with working girls in pattaya over few hundred bht ...

and keep away from drugs at Full Moon Party ....

and my new favourte from last night is "never steal a coppers mobile and car keys from him in Pattaya" ....... (actually that pretty much goes for any city on the planet)

Also try watching the programme before posting. In 3 episodes Samui only featured when a young girl appeared at the court here for a minor drug offense which occurred on KP at the FMP, she was given a small fine and allowed to return home, hardly front page news.

Samui being the pleasent, friendly trouble free paradise island that it is, does not appear in this series. Lets hope this will help to create tourism into Samui from the more notorious parts of Thaland such as Phuket and Pattaya.

You are wrong Samui will appear in later episodes.

In fact it starts in episode 4 with the plane crash at samui airport.
