PostmanPat Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just watched this series through gritted teeth and with an increasingly embarrassed perspective. This series of three programmes, featuring UK Nationals living in Bangkok (or Pattaya in one case) is exactly the type of programme that gets us such a bad name in Thailand. Without exception, the people featured were dreadful, dreadful people, A dancer who cant dance and clearly has no talent, some kind of "head hunting" recruitment guy employing a maid but treating her like shes his slave, with an unbelievably demeaning attitude towards the poor woman, a tourist police volunteer in Pattaya who thought it was really funny to hassle and bully Thai bar women and Ladyboys, insulting them, then laughing to camera as though its some kind of evening entertainment. The fact that this whole bunch of embarrassing losers were even prepared to show off their stupidity for the cameras tells all you need to know. If only these people could see themselves and what a bunch of pathetic specimens they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I saw the first episode, it was cringeworthy. Only one that was normal was the footballer. The TPV was a moron of the highest order, an embarrassment to The UK and obviously a loser in his own country. Possibly a failed Traffic Warden? Did Billy open his bar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrtoad Posted July 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2014 I consider the program an accurate display of the typical Brit......anywhere. That's a bit like saying that Jerry Springer show is an accurate representation of Americans everywhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Search of Space Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Problem with all these reality TV shows is that if people were to act normally it wouldn't be watchable TV - personally I don't watch any of them as everyone is playing up to the camera.
