On Tour in Bangkok, Thailand

Nikki Bedi meets the creatives shaping the arts and culture of Thailand including Joss Way-Ar Sangngern, Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke, Pim Boonyawee, Milli and the Tilly Birds.

Nikki Bedi is on stage at Aksra Theatre in Bangkok, with leading Thai creatives and a live audience, to explore the subtleties of Thailand’s culture, beyond its international tourism image.

There is live music from sensational rapper/ singer Milli and the Indie rock band Tilly Birds.

Actor Joss Way-Ar Sangngern reveals how his vampire role in ‘My Golden Blood’ feeds the phenomenon of ‘Boys Love’ fandom.

Film director Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke explains how his film ‘A Useful Ghost’ uses a haunted vacuum cleaner to talk about Thailand’s recent past.

Stand-up comedy comes from Pim Boonyawee, who is also Nikki Bedi’s guide on a ‘Culture Cab’ tour of Bangkok’s secret cultural places.
