Pod Thai - Grumpy Expats In Bangkok

Alex Ledine

Société & Culture

Fréquence : 1 épisode/35j. Total Éps: 42

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.

Fish & Chip Crisps, Tamagotchi Deaths & Weird Bangkok News ? | S2E7 (#42)

Saison 42 · Épisode 2

vendredi 15 mai 2026 • Durée 41:18

This week on the podcast we discuss Tamagotchi neglect, fish & chip crisps, dangerously spicy Irish spice bags, ChatGPT confidently lying to your face, and why a monk owns a $9,000 Counter-Strike knife. We also cover the Bangkok “sex bridge”, an AC unit landing on a Chinese table, Pattaya scissors robberies, and whether Bangkok’s biggest tourist spots are actually worth bothering with.

If you’re learning English, apparently this podcast is educational now, although listening to two blokes from Wolverhampton argue about monitor lizards, mineral water, and sexy Osaka coffee shops probably isn’t officially recommended.

Japan vs Thailand: Weebs or Passport Bros? | S2E6 (#41)

Saison 2 · Épisode 41

vendredi 8 mai 2026 • Durée 45:37

Japan vs Thailand.

Weebs vs Passport Bros.

Order vs Chaos.

After coming back from Japan, Alex decided that we should attempt to answer some important questions:

Is Japan actually overrated?
Why does every Japanese nightclub feel like you’re about to get trafficked?
Are Thai people secretly more fun?
And why are grown men paying for “armpit sniffing services”?

We also discuss Songkran, weird Japanese life hacks, expats, climate, food, nightlife, Reddit-tier Japan worship, and whether following rules all the time slowly drives you insane.

Completely unserious. Deeply unqualified. Probably offensive to at least three countries.

Ghost Drivers & The Weirdest Email We’ve Ever Read… | S2E5 (#40)

Saison 2 · Épisode 40

lundi 27 avril 2026 • Durée 42:51

Another week, another attempt at being a “Thailand podcast”.

We start off with some proper stuff like books, language learning and culture before quickly descending into the usual. (Glory holes and that)

We try and stay positive this week and Todd has researched a few dates for your diary including a plowing festival and an international singing competition you're definitely going to want to know about.

We then round things off with our highly professional “Bangkok Bar Awards,” which is essentially just us naming pubs we go to and pretending it’s useful.

As always, not much structure, very little expertise, but at least we’re aware of it.

00:05:08 – Motorbike posture analysis
A surprisingly passionate breakdown of how to sit on a bike… badly.

00:07:37 – 90km cycling “nightmare”
What was meant to be a nice ride turns into a life choice regret.

00:08:28 – Aftershave “aura” theory
Todd isn't having it.

00:10:55 – The email we shouldn’t have read
This is where things go properly off the rails.

00:13:34 – Fake news disappointment
April Fools ruins what could’ve been our best journalism.

00:15:20 – Ghost driver scam
The becaureful on Chinese uber.

Best Country in Asia? We Definitely Got It Wrong (Again) | S2E4 (#39)

Saison 2 · Épisode 39

mardi 31 mars 2026 • Durée 37:21

In this week’s episode, we attempt to rank the best countries in Asia by the important metrics: stag weekends, how well you can blow 10 grand, most confusing… you know, the usual.

It quickly spirals from half-baked news segments and listener emails into our full-on breakdown of how Asian countries actually stack up against each other, with absolutely no qualifications to do so.

We tackle the big questions:

Is conveyor belt sushi just one bloke looking for your order?
Has ChatGPT officially run out of interesting news?
And why don’t Asians have body odour?

Naturally, it all descends into complete nonsense by the end — including smell-based dating, questionable science, and a theory about why Japanese submarine crews were apparently selected based on armpit smell.

⏱️ Timestamps

00:40 – Songkran shirts, darts updates
02:00 – The conveyor belt sushi theroy
04:00 – Emails from listeners (including complaints & unexpected praise)
08:40 – “Far East News”… via ChatGPT (and it’s not great)

30:00 – Smell-based dating experiments
32:30 – “Land of Smiles” – myth or misunderstanding?
36:30 – Final thoughts: everyone’s different (groundbreaking insight)

Saison 2 · Épisode 38

mardi 24 mars 2026 • Durée 32:29

This week we talk dodgy podcast ratings, nuisance streamers in Asia, and a run of genuinely bizarre stories involving Thai “Death Fest,” monks on banana boats, a giant mystery pipe and a flaming baked potato van tearing through Japan. We also debut a new feature: "Are You In or Are You Out?" and finish with vape warnings, hand-dryer propaganda and a proper rant about paper straws.

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

lundi 16 mars 2026 • Durée 24:44

This week we talk bad golf caddies, correct a few of our Thai pronunciations, and discuss why so much English-language Thailand news seems to be either foreigners in Pattaya or animals causing chaos.
