This week the Travel Guides hit Thailand. With miles of tropical beaches and an exotic climate, it attracts over 26 million’s tourists each year to its shores - making it the most popular destination for Brits visiting Asia. But it also has a reputation as being a destination for hedonistic backpackers that is fraught with dangers and annoyances. Our households spend a week on the island of Koh Samui, getting the lowdown on what a holiday there can really offer. The trip doesn’t start smoothly for Craig Chapman-Blackwell and Stuart McDonald from Bradford. Hairdresser Craig not only has to battle with mosquitos but also with basic beach hut accommodation. He wants to go home as soon as he arrives - will the ‘land of smiles’ turn his opinion around? Exotic adventurers the Boyles are wowed by the street food available at the markets, while bargain hunter Simon Brearley can’t get enough of how cheap everything is. Burnley painter decorator Pete and his wife Linda reveal themselves to be secret ‘Thai Experts’, having travelled to the country 26 times before… but perhaps the biggest surprise is that Glamour Girl Riah finds a new spiritual side on the island – embracing a visit to a local detox spa which offers raw food and coffee enema’s to its guests.
