Among those featured are a butterfly collecter, a porn photographer and a kickboxer. "

Just if anyones interested. Last night it was a couple going to Koh Soumi to see their one daughter marry and visit the shrine where the other was cremated after dying from anerexia. And followed some seedy bloke visiting his Katoey BF/business partner.

This program was first shown in 1999 and was a load of cr@p then!!

Its been on a few times,or is this a new series?

[Jack Jones]

It's the same series that was screened orginally on Channel 4 in the UK. Not exactly a cut of real of life and some of the characters on there are probably what gives Thailand a bad name. Still watch it though as it's Thai related.

Saw it last night, a load of crap, a chap from hastings going to find a cleaner for his mother, he was a right knob, gives Thailand a bad name, he thought he could get a visa to bring her back, hey presto, wish it was that easy.

That guy who went to Pattaya to find his Aunt a maid was a p###k. You're right, that's exactly what gives Thailand a bad name. Quote of the series cam from that other girl living in Pattya, 'when you speak English to the Thais you have to speak slowly because they don't understand English'. Try learning some Thai.

What was interesting, was that guy who owned the land around Mor Chit bus terminal. Was that for real, he was on to a winner?

I cant watch it!!!!

It makes me cringe.

Totally agree things like this gives thailand a bad reputation. I can see pattaya getting full of total <deleted>,yobs and beer belly idiots. I have been over 3 times in the last 6 or so months and can see its getting worse very quick.

Was there a guy from a 70's pop band now living in Samui on the program,wonder if he's still there.Sparks if I recall correct.

Hi there,

yes i saw the program here in the u.k the other week,he was the guitarist with the group SPARKS from the 70s.He was playing some good acoustic blues too in th eprogram at some small bar in koh samui,did not recognise it as i have been out tthere myself 2 years ago also as a musicianon holiday.

It seems like he went through some rough times out in koh samui,drunk most of the times ect but he seems to be happy and sorted now.

regards

love you long time
