monsieurhappy Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 This program was first shown in 1999 and was a load of cr@p then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Its been on a few times,or is this a new series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Jones Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 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.

Thaicoon Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SPUDS Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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.
