see the news on the tv pro camp there are a lot of people that fight for the political situation the shutdown means roads are blocked and banks and businesses are closed and the airport could be next it's like a revolution this country i hope it's not happening here pray for that but the protests are already affecting the airport as word gets round tourists like tiffany and matt are desperate to get home i knew about the riots but i didn't think it was going to be that bad at first but when speaking to a few locals the ties and that and they were just like yeah yeah get out get out if you can

asked him do you need some food he said yes and my colleagues bring him some food as the man becomes increasingly erratic officers monitor his behavior closely i think he have some problem in in his brain better their fears are realized when the man suddenly turns violent okay the man is quickly subdued but it's a tense moment luckily baiton can see the funny side strange situation that guy he's a witness guy is it the first time somebody tried to kill officer you see the first time the man is taken to the local police station down on the ground floor where he can be held more securely realizing he's ill they don't arrest him instead he's taken to a bangkok hospital where he'll be looked after and his mental state evaluated as the protests continue downtown more tourists are trying to leave thailand but they're facing everlonger delays eight hours early for our flight yeah because everything's been shut down due to protests connor and his friends have been stuck here most of the day we've been here for five five hours already we got told to come here early because of the protests otherwise we'll be able to get over all the taxis and stuff to add insult to injury conor had to show his penis to a [ __ ] yeah when we were stressing about the getting to a new hotel last night we went into a travel agent and i felt a tap on my shoulder i turned around and lady we went let me see your [ __ ] let me see your [ __ ] showed her and she's bugging off connor's one of the lucky ones i was stuck in bangkok because my taxi didn't show up and all the streets were shut down so

out of bangkok it's like lydia nearly didn't get here at all i had to walk for like a mile and then i asked this guy on his motorbike if he would give me a ride it wasn't even a taxi so i paid some guy on the street to take me on his motorcycle to get me here the airline will transfer her ticket can you book me for that flight and not charge me the next available flight doesn't leave till tomorrow i'm a little bit pissed slightly wanna get a beer after eight weeks backpacking through asia lydia won't let a one-day delay spawn the trip of a lifetime oh it's been phenomenal i've been on the road for two months and i feel like [Applause] i feel like i've had an education of you know a couple years really packed into two months i've learned so much more about the people around me and how other people live and putting life in perspective and what's important [Music] with a whole day to kill lydia's resigned to a long and boring stay at the airport i just hope that i get on my flight tomorrow because nobody knows what the [ __ ] is happening i'll get out at some point it's not like i'm gonna like die here things could be worse with more protests expected tonight police are putting up roadblocks around the airport perimeter there's a chance some travelers won't make it to the airport at all if some tourists they're booking a hotel in bangkok and they have a flight today if they want to come here maybe they will miss a flight because of traffic [Applause] [Music] the united kingdom awaits i don't want to go back after a month in thailand laura and nina are due to fly home tonight let's stay then okay i'll just stay here in my bed in my cozy bed you can go if you want to but i think i'll stay with the roads outside gridlocked they may have no choice i mean just look at it because the traffic is ridiculous they're not moving but that's partly i think we're right in the middle of the protests yeah there have been some people getting killed but really we haven't been in the middle of it yeah are we gonna make it home the girls have an added incentive for catching their flight their 30-day visa exemptions expire tonight i want to make sure we get to the airport let's get there way before midnight pass through immigration so we can say no it's till the 17th even though our flight leaves technically on the 18th yeah no i think that's good let's let's do that let's not just risk anything really no on the last day that we're here we could end up in jail can you imagine no [Music] down on the streets there are signs of the protests everywhere look at that thai people usually are not violent they're nice they're friendly yeah look at it this is not nice [Music] tori is on his way to meet an old friend at the airport they close a lot of roads like this one is close look you can't go anywhere tori came to bangkok for a relaxing break but it's not working out this is a holiday it's supposed to be holiday but becoming a little bit of nightmare now [Music] tori's friend joan has flown in from australia but now he's too late to meet her off the plane and he can't seem to find her anywhere she's supposed to come out here and this here this guy here the bee okay as he sets off to look for her he starts to lose focus that's beautiful dress hey look at that see that nice color nice smile look at that they got a beautiful smile here she's not here and i hope she's okay hey i'm worried tori decides to charm the tourist police into helping him find his friend her name they say john wallace no he's a woman if he's a man yeah i'll go i don't mind waiting for a woman what flight oh i can't remember the number but it's landed at 8 40 in the morning yes i'm struggling tori's friend has picked up her bags and officer kannaquan thinks she may have left the airport if she gets the bags it means she pass already why we have to shake immigration again oh i do but i just got it yesterday i can't remember the number okay for me i don't have the phone with me i left it this morning at home um i'm supposed to be in holiday i don't need any phone any yeah that's necessary now now tori seems to be getting desperate can you do the announcement like yeah ask information they don't you can't yes you got enough power at all no okay my option is running out of only too pleased to point tori in the direction of anywhere else but when he tries to log on to his email he can't remember his password despite receiving a prompt he asked me where i met my wife or which one unbelievably he can't log on i can't access it unbelievable it's shaping up like a long day you like a drink up in ayatoya another victory means will's reached the finals of the world thai boxing championships now he's hoping to find similar fortune for his girlfriend beth in her fight tonight going to the temple get um getting this blast for bath i'm going to give it a just before a fight for good luck i got it from from shopping center earlier the monks are busy at the moment so we can't blast the border for beth having come all this way will decides to bless the buddha himself before heading back to training camp where he finds beth sick with nerves beth can i come in i got you something thank you [Music] it's back there today it's all yours in it go for it i've messaged my mom she always says why can't i pick something like synchronized swimming but then again that's not me so beth's just a few hours away from the fight of her life and will's praying the lucky buddha does the trick i'll come with you [Music] back at the airport tori still hasn't found his friend joan he doesn't have a phone he can't pick up emails and his beer's starting to froth unbelievable he enlists the help of officer jibidoo at the information desk my problem is i'm waiting for a friend yes and i think she's lost in the airport really all i need is just you announce your name oh yeah if you can find here that would be very nice we got it somewhere but that's already five hours yes probably she's lost somewhere how about she might get to the hostel already or something one hotel is a lady yes a big one jib's pretty sure tori's friend has left the airport but she can offer some free advice you shouldn't be drinking if you drink you will look you will discredit yourself and yeah exactly and no one would like to help you as much as you don't drink that's why it's my first beer for the day i'm in trouble already it looks like tori's never gonna find his friend joan unbelievable i hope you will find her thank you very much can always come back to this counter i don't think i'm gonna come back here really no that's enough for today is enough there's only one word for it unbelievable [Music] with more protests expected tonight police are guarding all the roads to the airport [Music] laura and nina are heading back to london and hoping to avoid the worst of the trouble but it's going to be tight we're going to make it on time and to make matters worse their standard 30-day visa exemption is about to expire [Music] see what happens let's hope he hurries up oh we just made it when the girls finally reached the airport no oh my god cancelled look at all the council flights what's going on we're [ __ ] with no chance of catching their connection to london they go in search of an alternative flight right now the visa is the least of my worries to be honest i just need to get back to london we need to get the second flight that's really important because otherwise we're gonna have to buy it one new flight is okay but two i mean that no it's not gonna happen at the airline desk there's a lifeline oh wow it's getting better it's shorter waiting time and shorter arrivals much better they're offered a free transfer onto a better flight they put us on a flight to london via dubai so we're not off to dubai just like that in five minutes and we're actually saving four hours so we get to london a lot earlier than we thought we would be which is nice yeah so blessing in this guy yeah is actually a blessing disguise and no mentioning of visa well not yet oh right okay this is it now immigration fingers crossed will the visas be spotted moore is first to go when she makes it nina slips through after and the friends are cleared for takeoff [Music] laura and nina may have slipped the net but as the protests continue captain jack is stamping his visas in a state of heightened alertness and i hear it like every day but you need at least a page for jack's stamp and this passenger is running out of space time for a friendly reminder so i want you to understand that when you when you making a visa on arrival you need a visa on arrival in thailand we need one page full and this time we really really assist you to get in okay because we know that you will be a very good tourist but it will be the last time for you to use this passport renew it okay this passenger got off lightly jack's not the toughest officer in the department you're welcome i'm not the one who's strict i'm not the one who's straight that title goes to inspect him why in the current climate she's watching out for any suspicious behavior jana from

the other airport and when will you stay inside just on seats on my computer and sleeping the kid like this is look like a suspect passenger that wait for the time to to entry after fry right it's no good for for the passenger officers believe that some passengers wait for the busiest time to pass through immigration hoping they'll be processed quickly and smuggled items won't be found if you have to wait for connecting fire you are fry must have connecting at this airport if you have the kid like it we have to suspect that's person i thought my connecting was in this airport yeah i didn't know

misunderstanding cleared up bert points jana in the direction of the shuttle bus my boss assigned her to next time check the flight already and shake the airport for yana it's a lesson learnt don't hang out at bangkok airport in the middle of a national emergency when inspector my is on duty i didn't think anything bad could happen but you never know so especially in a foreign country just about anything can happen [Music] next up through immigration is 24 year old mum of two marika hello nice to meet you it would have to be something important to make a braid the troubles in bangkok yeah

cheaper price dr titty doesn't stop at tummy tucks and breast enhancements [Music] the other group is transgender patient we're very famous on that they come from all over the world for for the

thailand one of the most amazing countries in the world and it's an honor to be here with you you know we second family england team beth's putting on a brave face but the pressure's now will to win gold for her england and his [Music] grand it's a new day at bangkok airport the knights passed off relatively peacefully and the airport's keen to show its business as usual after the success of captain jack's dance routine they're laying on even more entertainment for anxious passengers and up in the food court a real-life thai celebrity is dropped in people when they see me they are hungry and that hungry must be very yummy as well thailand's top food critic kunrit is filming her top rating food show right here right now at the airport i'm the food restaurant industry and having the program every day monday to friday on channel 3. i must say that turnout right now is a top rating in thailand kunrit's come to check out an italian restaurant up on fourth floor departures john philippo is excited is a very important superstar in thailand she comes in our shop for for film our italian food in the airport of bangkok not only does kunrice have her own show on channel three she's got her own version of the thumbs up my sign alright that means okay channel three whether their food is okay or not when people meeting me they will do like this and when she's wrapped kung rite is happy to spend time with her adoring fans my friend club i have a lot of fan club in los angeles they know me very well when they see me at the airport [Music] there may be blood shed on the streets of bangkok but it's more sprained ankles and diarrhoea at the airport's medical center whatever the ailment sick passengers need a fit to fly certificate from doctor art and the team sweaty car when you travel by air there is a risk anytime if you have your your medical problems you have to make sure that everything is okay before flying that's especially true when you're nearly nine months pregnant like one bui she's on her way back home to finland via india and i have a flight to mumbai this evening and then i'll be five days in goa and then i fly back because then i'll have reached 36 weeks of pregnancy and you can't fly anymore after that i'm going to hopefully give birth in finland that's the plan if all goes well how are you i'm fine how are you i'm doctor shawnee from nice nicely nice to meet you this is your first baby my first baby yes and do you have any contraction right now no the baby moves well baby moves well dr art's worried about wambui taking a long-haul flight just a few weeks before she's due to give birth after 36 weeks you can go in labor any time so you shouldn't fly during that period doesn't kick a lot yeah a lot the main risk of flying with every pregnant is that you can go in the labor because you know nobody can help you during the flight the aircrew cannot help they they have to call the emergency landing for you or because they're afraid about the safety of the baby and the mother but on the plus side the first leg of wambui's journey to india is only three hours i think the baby moves the head down already but not engaged yet for the three hours it's okay you can fly that's it yeah can i have a document saying yeah that i can fly please i will write it up for you wait for the little thank you so much cool wambu is okay to leave bangkok but she'll need a second certificate from doctors in mumbai if she's going to make it back to finland to give birth the free to fly certificate is valid only one day because i gave her for the day that she is going to mumbai but when she stay in goa for a week when she need to go back home she need another one from india this is fit to fly freaky friday okay thank you have a good day thank you very much you're welcome all right success so wambu is free to continue her journey if only for now in downtown bangkok mum of two marika's getting ready for her afternoon in the operating theater she's having a boob job and a tummy tuck all in one go yeah i'm getting more excited now i'm not nervous or anything yet i guess that'll be when i'm like it'll take some serious recuperation and a whole new wardrobe this is sort of like after the really heavy duty stuff like to wear for about six months this is like the girdle belt thingy doesn't even fit yet and then this one's for like the bra super glamorous marika's in the capable hands of top plastic surgeon dr titty he's already made his mark it's like tt but everyone calls him dr teddy i saw him this morning at eight so these are my markings now it's like he's a carpenter or something and he's like measures everything this is just only about three to four hour surgery for cosmetic surgery for plastic surgery is definitely undeniably considered for us i'm just going to cut there and then cut down there and take that away and then just stitch it back up and then um with the belly button because it's still attached though cut a new hole and then kind of stick the old belly button through it and stitch that back up before they wheel her into surgery dr titty talks through the op we upload your nipples a little bit that's for breath and for tummy we do the full semiconductor without liposuction yeah okay thank you tomorrow she might be feeling some soreness but after the day after tomorrow she should be fine she can even go for shopping for tour that doesn't matter shopping's for another day it's the surgery marika is here for and she's been planning it for years i'm normal size now but in my head i'm still a fat kid so i think once i've got this surgery done i can actually move on to normal [Music] up in arrivals are backpackers tally and tiri just back from their full moon party in kopangan they spent three days on the island but it didn't go exactly as planned not the best couple of days we've been sunburned she lost her card and left it in a cash machine but their real trouble started when the party began well we're being really careful like we i was human fine we had like two beers and like a vodka and coke checking they were sealed beforehand and next thing i know i'm waking up six hours later and he said i just collapsed she was just being sick crying hysterically crying she wasn't tripping or anything she was just panicking tally reckons she knows what happened the only explanation is so many people offered to help me lift her away from all the like craziness or buying us bottles of water to give to her offering me money offering us to take their hostel room for the night it was disgusting that i missed it we obviously just caught one bad person yeah do you know whether it's safe for us to go to coastline road today because of the protests the friends will spend two nights in bangkok before heading north they're understandably keen to avoid any further trouble we were like um we've heard about protests is it okay she said in taxi yeah so we'll just have to take a risk i think there's no protest civil unrest spiked drinks tally and terry won't let anything spoil their holiday it just goes to show that you can't be too careful so we're just going to carry on as we were and hope for the best so the great adventure [Music] continues back in bangkok marika's ready to unveil her new look she's had the classic dr titty tummy talk i think they've done a really good job like i've looked at so many before and afters and i'm really happy it's like my old belly button but a new position when i move sometimes like
