Sue Perkins is back with an unforgettable travel series as she explores regions of Thailand, but not in the most conventional way, cue prison massages, hoverboards and moving beds
Comedian Sue Perkins is heading off the beaten track as she explores three regions of Thailand. But it’s not all lazing about on beaches and looking at temples, Sue is taking a more daring approach to travelling.
Sue continued: “It was very out of my comfort zone because I was looking down this giant hole. I looked at the instructor and said, ‘Tell me I can trust you.’ She literally looked at me and said, ‘Sue, I will not let you fall.’ It went well for a while, then I smacked my knee really badly and hung there like a sack of potatoes.”
“But then I just got the bug for it, staying in strange and sketchy places, with strange animals, strange weather conditions. Often staying with families, I’ve stayed on tables with mosquito nets hung over me, woke up with cats and rats and all sorts just pottering around. My friends and family were surprised by it all initially, but it’s almost taken for granted now, they go, ‘Oh sorry, you must be off doing something crazy.
“And when you’re in a massage position, you’re quite vulnerable,” continues Sue. “But as soon as she started, I knew she was a very gentle person. So I didn’t feel the need to ask her questions like, ‘What did you get banged up for?’ I knew she was a victim and I found a sincerity in her.”“I’ve still got my special headgear from Thai boxing and that is next to an embroidered ornamental piece from the Nashi tribe in the Yunnan Province in China,” explains Sue.
