Naturally, they have to cater to mainstream instead of to us more refined, cultured, open minded, and evolved weirdos like us.

Funny enough the Thais are blaming the farangs for showing Thailand in a bad light. Who would have thought. :shock:

I just watched this, and this is freaking awesome. Informative and entertaining, good for a noobie, although you should know better than to bring drugs to asia anyway. I watched both episodes, outstanding can't wait for the others, especially the ladyboy one :)

The latest from Bangkok Post has the film company making a deliberate attempt to tarnish Thailand Tourism.

I bet the production company didnt think it would be so popular and therefore receive so much media attention

First of all I’m still appalled by this junkie prick who ran away while his GF was nearly being imprisoned in Thai jail because of his grass, but on the other hand… she was “smart” to return to him after all the sh..t he caused to her so.. WTF they deserve each other.

Next thing that crossed my mind is; WTF were makers of this documentary thinking … you never speak directly the truth to or about Thais, well not if you want to return to Thailand and also leave Thailand in one piece. It was clearly seen after the first episode when author chickened out after he saw what kind of sh..t he put JJ into with his documentary. He just didn’t realize what kind of trouble he got into – Thailand is not Europe where you can say everything what’s on your mind on TV and later pack this crapp into “the freedom of speech”. I do think JJ and his friends will give him a warm Thai welcome party if he ever crosses the boards of Patong. :evil:

And about ladyboys, this clever reporter thought ladyboy from the street who threw bottle into farang got into trouble and prison and…. no way, she probably paid 100 BHT and gave later maybe some freebie to some police officer and this was it. :wink:

well i watched last nights show on bravo.
i tell you, you are better off waiting for the links on this site.
the amount of adverts in the one hour show is too much.
episode 3 did focus a bit on ladyboys, although they did hype up that they are beautiful, they focused more about the fact that they steal.
i have had another call from a friend, who thinks the place looks "scarey" and wonders why i go.
to your average straight 9-5 er, they are making thailand look dodgy.
