Bangkok Airport Documentary Keeps Getting More Ridiculous

Several weeks ago I posted about the new “documentary” about Bangkok Airport, entitled “The Airport Of Smiles: Bangkok Airport.” Thailand is lovely, so I figured I’d love the show, but it has been a complete $hit-show.

I’m still undecided as to whether I love or hate the show. It’s kind of like the Real Housewives equivalent of an airport documentary, in that it’s not actually about airport operations, but rather about the ridiculous drama that occurs when idiots go to Thailand.

Well, episode three of the show is now online, and it’s possibly the best yet:

Highlights include Captain Poo (for the name alone) and Officer A (who is passionate about making sure no one cuts the line — she’s like me in middle school when I was a hall monitor, except I wore Velcro shoes). 😉

But the prize for this episode definitely goes to the ridiculous French lady who blames the airline and airport because she and her daughter got separated (but clearly she’s right, because she’s studying to be a lawyer, and how dare they charge her for her mistake!).

If you haven’t seen the previous two episodes, here’s episode one:

And here’s episode two:

So, who’s still watching this show, and what do you make of it?

HI Lucky! I watched all the episodes so far and found it quite amusing, given how ridiculous people are these days! I also heard that BBC is doing a whole show/documentary, kinda thingy, over the whole year that is themed on air travel/airports/airplanes. I'm not sure if it's true or not, and I thought that you might know?

I'm not a huge fan of the BKK airport but I am a fan of the show and the country (the food, the girls, the beaches, and the hotels esp.) and I find the relaxed attitude to be a very welcome change compared to how things operate in high stress cultures like the US. Besides the lane dragon most of the staff have been exceedingly relaxed and easy going, even when the passengers are acting like spoiled children.
