Slow Boat from Surabaya

on BBC Two England

Diplomatic Thais
The Thais have always known how to defeat foreign imperialists: by the craft of diplomacy. Even the Japanese occupying forces during the Second World War could not persuade them to change their ways.
Jack Pizzey travels into the heart of Thailand, into the zone of the opium warlords, down lazy rivers through placid villages to Bangkok. Famed as the sex capital of the world, with drug pushers offering their wares on the streets, the Thai capital seems to have fallen to a modern form of economic colonialism - tourism.
