SUE PERKINS TRAVELS TO THAILAND FOR LATEST CHANNEL 5 TRAVELOGUE
Sue Perkins gets Lost in Thailand in a brand new, three-part series for Channel 5, from production company, Coming Up Roses.
Sue explores three regions of Thailand, challenging herself to try the new and unfamiliar, meeting extraordinary people and embedding herself in local culture along the way.
Kicking off her journey in Chiang Mai, she meanders through the Thai highlands, distant foothills of the Himalayas. Sue takes the plunge and bravely abseils deep underground into a limestone cave before travelling to the island of Phuket to glory in its coral reefs and its last remaining bit of rainforest, and then onto Bangkok.
There she explores the colouful chaos of Bangkok and ventures into the rich subtropical countryside surrounding the capital.
Sue Perkins said: “I’m thrilled to get another opportunity to explore the world with Channel 5, and Thailand did not disappoint! I took on new challenges, immersed myself in the culture and wandered the wilds of the jungle. But what I love most about travelling is the people you meet along the way, and we met some wonderful people on this adventure. I can’t wait for you to see it!”
“Sue is the perfect mix of inquisitive traveller and funny tour guide to take us off the beaten track in the incredible Kingdom of Thailand,” commented Adrian Padmore, Commissioning Editor Channel 5 and Paramount+.
Oliver Wright, Creative Director, Coming Up Roses added: “We are very proud of this series. Sue is quite wonderful in it, engaging passionately with every step of her Thai journey. She makes us laugh one minute, then cry the next as she explores every element of Thai life, getting to the heart of its incredible landscapes, wildlife and people.”
Sue Perkins: Lost in Thailand (w/t), is a 3 x 60’ series.
