novo58 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Watched the whole episode thanks to post #5. Seems to me this shows EXACTLY why some people should not be allowed to leave their home country. When you go to a foreign land ...................................................please remember to keep your brain in gear at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkkbound Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ching Ching... Peculiar sums up the programme.. It bored me, I travel through 'Bangkok' airport 4 or 5 times a yr and could not connect with any of the storylines..described as one of the busiest airports in the world but with no immigration queues..

whooshbang Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The biggest smile i got in Bangkok airport was from the cop i paid 3500thb for a 7 day overstay.... true story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunroaming Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I watched it. Dumbed down TV at it's very worst. Clearly the brief to the producer was to find the most obnoxious British tourists and the most bizarre Thai ground staff and use them for entertaining TV. Certainly made me ashamed of my countrymen and irritated me with the perception of the Thai airport workers, making them appear dumb and ignorant. As for Captain Jack, I thought he was great but how does this portray Thai officials as anything other than joke characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chivas Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think this topic shows up the divide in Brit Thai relations. If this was a programme about Thais arriving at Heathrow all the So called Brit wanna be Thai's on here would be saying how embarrassing the airport staff were and how miss understood the poor Thai travelers were. I have seen such a program on Heathrow with a Thai woman, hi si looking. She was stopped and found to have nearly 20k pounds cash hidden in her luggage and every time they found some lied that she had no more. They were about to confiscate it when she came up with her Thai bank books indicating she had withdrawn money not long before. She was actually a "He",,,,,,,,!!!

berybert Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 A lot of people seem to be taking the rise out of the 2 fat girls. You realize the film crew paid for them to stay in a top hotel and all their food and drink ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkkbound Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Has more in common with Little Britains Fly Me spoof.. Or is it a spoof of the spoof? Reality is hard to distinguish .. Edited January 27, 2015 by Bkkbound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize the film crew paid for them to stay in a top hotel and all their food and drink ? Maybe, but take a look at the woman in the frame in post #98 in the yellow dress. I imagine she has problems remembering how to put her bra on. Fortunately the Thais are very patient with these types of tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Brasco Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> It should be ban in Thailand. I am sure the prime Minister Prayuth will agree with me too. Nooooo.......I've never laughed so much at the characters, both foreign and Thai Making fun is not a licence to publish / broadcast anything you like. European media still have not learn from the Paris incident? Off topic by light years of geopolitical comprehension and education.

Then they gave them a 'job description" and a script to appear terrible people. Have to give the masses something to make them keep watching.

Nooooo.......I've never laughed so much at the characters, both foreign and Thai Should be required viewing for all expats complaining about life here in LOS. The Massive English guy with tank top and tattoos with his diminutive Thai wife goes to Swampy to meet his two daughters who look older than his wife. Some of the Brits in that video are plain embarrassing. No wonder the Thais think farangs are weird, as we sometimes think them the same. Not sure his wife was that young, but his daughter was one of the dumbest people I've seen on tv. She couldn't add up 8 plus 8. Literally could not do it. Embarrassing, damn right she was. Indeed it was, and the amazing thing is these characters can breed, vote and are welcomed as tourists. Bravo the Thais that had to deal with these morons. I like Paul, proper piss can!!! She couldn't add up 8 plus 8. Don't be so scathing, as she is a product of the ( non ) education system as it exists today. They just teach them how to use computers and not their brains. Plenty of Thai shop assistants that use a calculator to do simple arithmetic that I can do in my head. Not only thai shop assistants....worldwide.....from managers to labourers.

Because that is a 100% factual programme with no embellishment what-so-ever. And of course Daddy left them alone to spend their own money. Now we work out they are so thick they can't add 8 + 8. Do you think they are even capable of earning a living ? Maybe they work for TAT in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But probably just what the makers were looking for and 5% of those actually filmed, many of the others being too normal and polite to make 'interesting' TV.
