Very strange film.

From the beginning the whole "documentary" seems setup. The narrator has his opinion set before we even get introduced to Pla. The ugly tourist guy who kept talking *beep* to the camera seemed a complete setup and there is no evidence of anything they are talking about.

Very strange they can call this a documentary. Anyone agree?

He wasn't a tourist. He claimed to have lived in Bangkok as a teacher at the international school for several years. As a fellow Brit, I was mortified by his crass behavior. On the other hand, this is what happens when Brits drink too much, as is often the case.
