- Mai Pen Rai episode disappointing. Also please stop using AI to interpret things; humans only!
I enjoy your podcast overall, but I thought the latest episode about Mai Pen Rai was rather inappropriate so soon after the bus tragedy. The episode includes wild speculation without having enough facts. You probably had this episode planned before the bus tragedy, but you should have rescheduled it and waited.

Could be so much better if the inane banter was cut down to a bearable level.

United Kingdoma year ago - Essential listening for all things Bangkok and Thailand
The Bangkok Podcast has been essential listening for my obsession with this amazing city.
Greg and Ed make it look easy as they share insight from their own experiences, as well the many high quality guests. I have learned so much about Bangkok, as well as the Thai psyche.
Anyone going to Thailand who doesn’t listen to this professionally put together show will simply have a lesser experience.
It’s easy and fun to listen to and very informative.
