Explorez tous les épisodes du podcast Pod Thai - Grumpy Expats In Bangkok

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 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.

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.

00:18:03 – Royal Ploughing Festival explained (poorly)
We confidently describe something we clearly don’t understand.

00:19:24 – Asiavision
This is going to be class.

00:23:24 – Bangkok Bar Awards begin
Highly scientific rankings based on where we drink.

00:36:04 – Thai dubbing is mental
A surprisingly strong take on voice acting chaos.

00:38:13 – Why British TV casts “ugly” people
A rare moment of insight before we lose focus again.

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.

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.

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.

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

Tons of advice for you in today’s podcast, from relationships to masturbation and more news than ever brings you the best, but mainly the worst that Thailand has to offer.

We share with you a newcomer to Thailand's first observations and share with you our experience of a strange Bangkok museum that might actually be worth visiting.

If you’re in Thailand or England, or anywhere in between, get involved and listen.

.

Listen in for plenty of the best of the worst Thai news. Bottom of the barrel stuff.

You also get to learn a Thai superstition which you can find with a quick google search but it’s much better hearing it on our podcast.

Lucky listeners will also learn a little strange but effective pick up which works for guys and girls, even us…a long time ago.

There is a lot more but if I tell there’s no point in listening. In fact, I haven’t even mentioned the best stuff. Fancy that.

Probably one of the best podcast episodes ever made, we discuss Kit Kats and K-pop, Bangkok and speed bumps. You’ll have to take our word for it that it’s better than it sounds.

We both have problems this week; Todd only has 500 baht in the bank whilst Alex's body composition is approaching that of a sumo wrestler. To cheer ourselves up we try our hand at singing a very Thai song. Unfortunately we can't sing. Alex also has a go at a quiz about Thailand with surprising results.

Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit - learn it

Today we discover that if we had to take a British citizenship test there is every chance we’d fail and to never give old people the benefit of the doubt

Why aren’t there many  roundabouts in Thailand and how should we approach them? 

Last and in fact the most important, whatever you do, don’t listen to social media English teachers! Find out why by listening right to the end of the podcast (fast-forwarding through the rest doesn’t work)

Today we introduce dear diary and discover Alex has been listening in on people have verbal sex, whatever that is.

If you’re not British, you can learn some British slang words and tongue twisters. And if you are British, you can learn some amazing Thai news. It’s a win win.

Have you ever been scammed? Ever have shrimp cooked by accident? Ever had verbal sex in the gym? Are you alive? If your answer is yes to any one of those question listen to this podcast.

Today we get the answers to why monkeys have massive balls and why farangs drink lots of beer. We also ask if the English premier league football clubs have let Thailand down.

We also learn where not to meditate and how to get a free ride at the airport.

Grab taxis obviously get a mention as they are still bloody annoying and much much more.

Don’t be shy, give it a try!

Today we prove that there are people even more ignorant than us! If you can teach Todd you’ll make us even less ignorant.

We also Learn some of the most crucial laws in both the UK and Thailand and Korean boy band BTS teach us what to do on public transport, so all in all it is a wonderful learning experience.

Less important to all but one person, we reveal the coveted follower of the month. It could be you. Probably not though.

We return this week some new superstitions from around the world and see if Thailand can back up their marginal victory over England with another over Japan.

We take a look through some of the funniest comments we received this week and award our first follower of the month!

Give us a listen and next month it could just be you. Imagine that.

Mr. (Top 8) Thailand joins us for an interview as we discuss his party boy lifestyle and it’s France vs Thailand today in the battle of the foods.

We talk toilet paper and weed, Grab bikes and monkeys as we try to put your suggestions into practice and laugh more as we've been told.

Today we put Alex’s preference of English food to the test as we try to come to terms with our newly found micro fame and discuss some of the funnier replies to our online clips.

We learn that you must be careful when getting a Thai tattoo and touch upon some other stuff.

I’d tell you it all but then you wouldn’t have to listen would ya. Enjoy

Do you need to be Japanese to make it in the Japan porn industry? We still don’t know.

We try our best give you some useful Bangkok suggestions and reports but couldn’t help but come back to toilets and shit.

And to reiterate the title, I do not want taro in my ice cream.

The boys are back to tell you all about their little cycling trip from Bangkok to Bangsen

Hint: The cycling wasn’t that fun, but Bang Saen was.

Todd tests his knowledge of Thailand in a quiz.

We discuss why British people should take some advice from Thais and stop putting their handbrake on when parking.

However, we also find out why Thailand and the rest of the world need to adopt the superior British plug socket system.

Sounds like a sensible episode. It’s not.

We finally settle the age old question and give you the official answer to which country is better to live in, England or Thailand.

Our news sections hits new lows but we do deliver an important update on the faeces eater, and take a look at why the flipping heck someone would recommend a Greek restaurant for tourists in Thailand! We may be grumpy but at least we’re honest….tune in anyway

Today we teach you the best and worst ways to get around Bangkok.

Tell you the one thing you need to make sure of when you get a Thai massage.
