Blind Ranking Tourists in Thailand (Probably a Bad Idea) | S2E1 (#36)
2026-03-10
In this episode we complain about Bangkok apartment tours, answer a few listener emails, and debate whether the elevator door button actually does anything. We also discuss whether foreigners should really be walking around shirtless in Thailand, cover all of the Thai news stories you need to know, and discover that tuk-tuk racing might be the best sport ever invented.Later we attempt to blind rank different tourist nationalities visiting Thailand (controversial innit), talk about Greggz appearing in Thailand, and reveal the official test to find out if someone is actually begging or trying to scam you.0:00 – New setup0:35 – We’re officially sick of Bangkok apartment tours2:35 – Listener emails3:00 – The elevator button debate5:00 – The famous Thai street food lady5:55 – Should foreigners walk around shirtless in Thailand?9:05 – The worst tourist behaviour imaginable10:30 – Weird Thailand news stories12:10 – Tuk-tuk racing might be the best sport ever14:55 – Blind ranking tourist nationalities (dangerous game)19:00 – Greggz is now in Thailand21:25 – Shirtless neighbours & 7-Eleven entrance tax23:00 – Tipping too much in Laos24:00 – Begging scams vs genuine poverty26:10 – Bye

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.
