An Idiot Abroad - The Bucket List

deepthroat · March 12, 2012

Has anyone else seen the new season of "An Idiot Abroad"? Season 2 is subtitled "The Bucket List" as Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant send Karl Pilkington around the world to do things that most folks have on their "bucket list" of things to do before they die.

In episode 3 ("Swimming With Dolphins") Karl agrees to go to Australia to swim with dolphins. Of course it's not that simple though.

Ricky and Stephen send him first to Thailand, explaining to Karl that it's just a stopover on the way to Australia.

When he lands in Bangkok, it's smack in the middle of Songkran! After having to walk through the madness in the streets to get to his hotel, the next bit is where they make Karl meet a Ladyboy and take part in a cabaret show. Very fun.

Next he gets an afternoon of training in Muay Thai Boxing and in the evening, a blindfolded Muay Thai match.

Next it's on to Chaingmai Womens Correctional Prison for a thai massage performed by one of the inmates that's learning the massage profession for her pre-release program.

Then it's on to the King Cobra Snake Village, where after playing with the snake and the charmer it's time to prepare a typical meal of grubs, ants, etc.

Then out to somewhere near Lopburi where Karl goes to "Monkey Town".

Finally, it's off to Australia. But instead of swimming with dolphins, Ricky and Steve have decided it would be more exciting for Karl if he's swimming with sharks.

Classic!
