An Idiot Abroad 2, Filmed In Pattaya?

[Satcommlee]

I've just watched an Idiot abroad 'bucket list' episode 2, at the very end there is a split second clip of Karl Pilkington being soaked Songkrang style.

In the background, there is a business who's telephone number on the sign begins with 038 XXXXXX, which is the code for Pattaya (possible a wider geographic area also)

Does anyone know if we can look forward to an episode set in Pattaya? They say next week's is swimming with dolphins.

Anybody know anything about this?

[Farang0tang]

Though many say a lot of it was scripted, I thoroughly enjoyed the first series. And was looking forward to number 2.

And bonus if Karl pops up in LOS.

[Jingthing]

Filmed in Pattaya during Songkran, should be tittled "Idiot's Abroad"

[PattayaParent]

Rayong number also have an 038 prefix as does the rest of Chonburi so it's not exclusively limited to Pattaya.

I didn't think of looking on Youtube.. here's another one..

No Doubt then he's in Thailand and I found that location in the clip (in opening post) to be in Jomtien

Can't wait till Friday's episode, which we can all get easy enough on torrents in Thailand, should be a blast.

I bet they stitch him up with some ladyboys!

And the end of that episode would be: He is riding into the sunset on a Jetski with his Ladyboy

For torrent users here it is..

My True 100 meg been down since the lightening storm last night, so downloading on 3G at 200 KB/s so not seen it yet, but the facebook status's are looking good so far.

[Boater]

Racist generalization post and replies removed, joke or not read the rules.

Shouldn't be any shortage of canditates for idiots abroad in Pattaya!

[Jingthing]

He doesn't go to Pattaya. He does go to Bangkok (Songkran and he gets dressed in lady drag), Chiang Mai (a woman's prison), and Lopburi to get bothered by the monkeys, plus some boxing adventures.

I just watched episode 3 and there were a few shots from Pattaya but that was it. It appears he didn't go there but he did go to Bangkok, Lopburi and Chiang Mai as far as I could see.

There's no doubt Pattaya was the first place he came after arriving, it is where they filmed the Songkrang scenes.

[Jingthing]

Yeah, you're right, there is an 038 phone code in the water scene. Fooled me.

[Satcommlee]

Now for a bonus point... What is the Pattaya Hotel he check's into?

[Jingthing]

Complain to the show for not giving credit to Pattaya!

Does anyone else think that the last good TV show that Gervais and Merchant did was "Extras"?

These "Idiot" series didn't even make me smile, let alone laugh. The same goes for the podcasts.

[lomatopo]

S02E03 is just on TLC now, very funny.

On imagining his boss, prompted by Ricky Gervais, Rupert Murdoch naked: "like a tortoise without his shell".

"Extras" was OK, and while not a Gervais/Merchant production the Showtime series "Episodes" is brilliant..

[honda99]

That flute of a ricky gervais does my head in can't stand him, Karl is class such a funny dude.

[JusticeFT96]

The podcasts, idiots abroad, lifes too short and the cartoon of the podcasts are all great and very funny. Kept me going through some boring times in Surin.

Looking forward to the Christmas special later this year with Karl and Warrick.
