Where can you listen?

From Wolverhampton to Bangkok, two world travelers present to you the most entertaining but least educational podcast about living and travelling in Asia and Bangkok.

Here to provide weekly coverage of the very best (and worst) Thailand has to offer. Mostly nonsense with the odd bit of useful information, this certainly isn't a podcast about temples and Buddhas. You will however get recommendations on the best snacks in 7-Eleven and best place to find a Singha.

Think more Karl Pilkington, less Michael Palin.
