1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Bangkok, capital of Thailand, love capital of the world.

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Hundreds of thousands of western men travel here each year in search of the eastern promise of a Thai woman.

3
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
My mission? To find out why.

4
00:00:49,000 --> 00:01:00,000
My first port of call, one of Bangkok's largest marriage agencies, Anglo Thai introductions.

5
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
My contact? Ronnie Conrad.

6
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,000
It seems to be quite a few young women just sort of sitting around. What is going on here?

7
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
It's quite odd isn't it?

8
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
They've come in because it's their day off and they've come to enrol.

9
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000
To enrol really?

10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Yes, some of them come to enrol and some of them come to meet. It is like a clubhouse here.

11
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
They say hello to Ronnie.

12
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Why not?

13
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
This lady is actually enrolling right now.

14
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
I love Kukai.

15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Kukai? Can you work here Kukai? How do you do?

16
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
How do you do Louie?

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Hi Kukai.

18
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
What's your name?

19
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Ed.

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Ed. And how old are you?

21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Nineteen.

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Nineteen?

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
For funnily enough under twenty they're harder to place.

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
They want a wife, not a daughter.

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Or a granddaughter.

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Well no, I don't think so.

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
What about sixteen?

28
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
No, we wouldn't take maybe sixteen.

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
What about fourteen?

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Absolutely not.

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So would you like to meet a nice English man?

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Yes.

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Why?

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Because Thai man is not interesting.

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Not interesting?

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
English number one.

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's a mystery isn't it really?

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Because we're not that great are we?

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I mean that's my artist.

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Even if we're not that great in comparison to the Thai man we're saints.

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I'll tell you a word for it.

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
It was thought of myself as a valuable commodity.

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Would I be possible client material?

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Absolutely.

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
If we had your photo and your details here and if we showed it to the ladies you'd be

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
surprised how many would want to meet you.

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
What if I said like I want ten?

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
I'd say bye bye.

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
What if I came and said I like that one so much I want another one?

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Depends what happens whether I allow you to use the service or not.

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
What's happening?

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
We're just going to do a video of this young lady.

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Okay.

54
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
It's a bit like a hostage video tape in a funny way.

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Do you know what I mean?

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Not exactly sure no.

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
I am not being mistreated.

58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Oh yes yes yes.

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
No it's not quite like that.

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Do you find Thai women attractive as a race?

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Absolutely.

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Yes.

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And they stay slim.

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Skin.

65
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Beautiful.

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Olive tan and smoother silk.

67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Smoother silk.

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Not really hairless.

69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I'd make it fun.

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Arms.

71
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Very slight hair I think.

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
So what's happening now is the change in the name tag and the serial number, the membership number.

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Who's that?

74
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
That's the last one on...

75
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Playing 14-14.

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
But there was a 14-15 wasn't there?

77
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Ah yes.

78
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I hate to say we run an A video and a B video.

79
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Really?

80
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
What is the truth between the A team and the B team?

81
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000
The A is the ones I would consider to be more attractive.

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
So who gets the B film then?

83
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
The B film is available here in the office.

84
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
As soon as a guy comes here he can see everybody right through.

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Who's on the C video?

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
There isn't one.

87
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
No we don't have one.

88
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Tan.

89
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
What's upon a nice western man?

90
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Is that right Tan?

91
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Yes.

92
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Why?

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Because friendly and kind.

94
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Friendly and kind.

95
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Absolutely.

96
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
It makes you feel good.

97
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
But then at the same time you're aware that maybe it's not true.

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
I think in comparison to the time man you've just got to try and remember what happens here in Thailand.

99
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
That's right.

100
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Friendly and kind as far as...

101
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
That's right you've got to see that the time men are awful.

102
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
They just go hit time men all the time.

103
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Well they may not actually be awful men but they don't treat the likes of them.

104
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
They can't help it.

105
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
It's cultural.

106
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
That's absolutely right.

107
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
It's ingrained.

108
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Ooh.

109
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Look at Tan.

110
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
That's man again.

111
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
With more than 1400 Thai women on his books, Ronny's always short of male clients to pair them with.

112
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I offered to help drum up some business by taking to the streets.

113
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Hello.

114
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
How are you?

115
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I'm good.

116
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
How are you?

117
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
I'm fine.

118
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
How are you sir?

119
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
I'm fine.

120
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
How are you sir?

121
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Are you?

122
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Thank you very much.

123
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Thank you very much.

124
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Thank you very much.

125
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Thank you very much.

126
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Thank you very much.

127
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Why do you regard the Thai women as so preferable over the rest of the world?

128
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
They're preferable over the Western women.

129
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Of course they still believe in looking after the man and they're brought up to look after the man.

130
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
What about this thing in your brochure, right?

131
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
It says Thai ladies have all qualities that have been forgotten and lost by the equality-crazed women's lib,

132
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Western woman.

133
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Do you think women should cook and clean all that stuff?

134
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
No, I don't believe that at all.

135
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
They shouldn't.

136
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
No, I don't believe that but for my personal life, I like a lady who's going to fit around

137
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
my business life as I work a lot.

138
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
But you do think they're equality-crazed?

139
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
That's established.

140
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Now, moving on.

141
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Some.

142
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Some.

143
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Number eight, when it comes to making love for Thai women, there is no such thing as,

144
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
I've got a headache.

145
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:13,000
It's basically just saying that the Thai lady is not so independent at all.

146
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
She's more likely to go with the flow.

147
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Oh come on Ronny.

148
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
She's more likely to go with the flow.

149
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Okay, is that code?

150
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
It just means that the Thai lady goes along or we've got the matter.

151
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
So that's all.

152
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
That's just how it is.

153
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Nothing more sinister than that.

154
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Did I say there was anything sinister?

155
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
No, well exactly.

156
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Do you think Western women get too many headaches?

157
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000
I've no idea.

158
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I am not with a Western woman.

159
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
You were the Thai woman?

160
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
I am with a Thai woman.

161
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And though she doesn't get headaches, even when she's got a headache.

162
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I slightly wish she hadn't said that.

163
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Why is that?

164
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I don't know.

165
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000
That night, Ronny invited me to his hotel to join him and his wife to celebrate her birthday.

166
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Ronny had met her through a marriage agency only two years before.

167
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
I was keen to know how an Anglo-Thai marriage developed a few years down the line.

168
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Hello.

169
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Hello.

170
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Hello.

171
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000
How are you?

172
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Look at you.

173
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
You look a little underdressed.

174
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Oh, sorry.

175
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I just like to sit.

176
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Look a little different in the evening.

177
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
And where is your wife?

178
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
My young lady is upstairs on her way down.

179
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
She's on her way down?

180
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Yes.

181
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Because you haven't told me much about her.

182
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
No.

183
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,000
No.

184
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
She's a really super young lady.

185
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
I only met her a few days ago.

186
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Unfortunately, my wife and I are now referring to her and I are parting.

187
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Right.

188
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Unfortunately.

189
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,000
She was a Thai...

190
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000
So you had a Thai wife?

191
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Yes.

192
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Who you met through an agency?

193
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Yes.

194
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
And that was a few years ago, but now that's...

195
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
We're still friends.

196
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Right.

197
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
There's no problem really between us.

198
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Well, that's good.

199
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
And the good news is you've now got a new wife.

200
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Absolutely.

201
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
And when...

202
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Not actually married yet.

203
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Not married yet?

204
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
No.

205
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
I think on the 21st.

206
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
That's just a few days.

207
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Yes, indeed.

208
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
How amazing.

209
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Just purely by accident, I just happened to be in the office when she came in to enroll.

210
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Right.

211
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
She'd come into your offices because she was interested in meeting a Western husband.

212
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
And you thought I'd have that one for myself?

213
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Well, no.

214
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I didn't think that at the time because I hadn't seen her properly or spoken to her.

215
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
But then started talking to her and that was it.

216
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
As far as I was concerned, I fell in love on the spot.

217
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
It took a bit longer with her, about three hours, I think.

218
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Oh, it took a bit longer for her to fall in love with you.

219
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Exactly.

220
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
It took about three hours.

221
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
I think so, yeah.

222
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Hello.

223
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Nice meeting you.

224
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Hello.

225
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
This is Louis.

226
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
I'm Louis.

227
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Nice to meet you.

228
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Yeah, me too.

229
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
So I just told Louis about you, darling.

230
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Oh.

231
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
What?

232
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
And he'd very interested to meet you.

233
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I don't know about me.

234
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
What about you?

235
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
I just said what a lovely young lady you are.

236
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,000
And Louis, and Louis is a little bit surprised that you're 21 today.

237
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Oh.

238
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
And that I'm 55.

239
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
No problem.

240
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Can we go out and enjoy ourselves?

241
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Yes.

242
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Yes?

243
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Nice and old, darling.

244
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
A little bit more.

245
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Come on.

246
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Thank you.

247
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
It's hot.

248
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Yes, come on.

249
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Mm-hmm.

250
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
How is that?

251
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Is that divine?

252
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Thank you.

253
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Rodney.

254
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Yeah.

255
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Where's your spoon?

256
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Come on, then.

257
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Oh.

258
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Very nice.

259
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
So did ma'am make a videotape?

260
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
To be honest, no she didn't.

261
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Because we met in the afternoon in the office.

262
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
And I fell in love with you straight away.

263
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
And we talked for a while.

264
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:29,000
And when you decided you want to be with me, maybe two or three hours later.

265
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Yeah.

266
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
And then we went to talk to your mother to ask her permission.

267
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah.

268
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Because fortunately ma'am's mother brought her into the office.

269
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Really?

270
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Yes.

271
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Because she wanted you to have a western husband.

272
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Yeah.

273
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
So what was it that took three hours then?

274
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
What was that conversation?

275
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Mm-hmm.

276
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Anything that's a bit private?

277
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
I think so.

278
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
We were very naughty around about two and a half hours.

279
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
We were in my office by ourselves.

280
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Yeah.

281
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And we actually turned the lights out so nobody could see into the office.

282
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,000
So we got quite close quite quickly.

283
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Quite quickly.

284
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
And quite romantic.

285
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Mm-hmm.

286
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
I think so.

287
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
And all the while ma'am's mother was outside the door.

288
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Absolutely.

289
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Mm-hmm.

290
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
While you were getting quite hot and heavy.

291
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
No, I wasn't getting hot and heavy.

292
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
We were getting quite close and warm but not hot and heavy.

293
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:54,000
We were getting to know each other better and we just decided and asked another permission

294
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
and that was it.

295
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
So after three hours it was wedding bells.

296
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Mm-hmm.

297
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Mm-hmm.

298
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
That's your lovely smile sweetheart.

299
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Don't ever lose your lovely smile.

300
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Quite young.

301
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Yeah.

302
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Yeah.

303
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
I mean I don't mean that as a criticism.

304
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
But quite mature.

305
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Yes.

306
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
For her age.

307
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
You've got to remember I just got here Ronnie so this is all new to me.

308
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Mm-hmm.

309
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And I'm still, I'm going like that's really nice.

310
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
And then at the same time I'm thinking like does she know what she's getting into?

311
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Yes.

312
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Yes, she's thought about it.

313
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
She's decided she wants to be with me.

314
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Yeah.

315
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
And you've wrecked her conscience and you've had doubts haven't you?

316
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
No I haven't had doubts.

317
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
No doubts at all.

318
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Really?

319
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
None whatsoever.

320
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
And this is wife number?

321
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
That would be telling.

322
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Four?

323
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
I need to count but I would think so.

324
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
You can see what from the outside I'm thinking like okay prognosis not necessarily good.

325
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Time will tell.

326
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
You seem very happy together.

327
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
I know.

328
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Been like that ever since we met.

329
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
All six days of it.

330
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Absolutely.

331
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:19,000
I'll take you to the world, so whatever I'll take you to tomorrow.

332
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:26,000
As Ronnie was now on to wife number four and his third tie bride I couldn't help but have my reservations.

333
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Bring you step, where they all go.

334
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
I wondered what would motivate a woman like Mam to marry a 55 year old guy like Ronnie.

335
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
I'm going to marry a 55 year old guy like Ronnie.

336
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:52,000
I'm going to marry a 55 year old guy like Ronnie.

337
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
In spite of myself I was impressed by Ronnie's pulling power.

338
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:03,000
The next morning I decided that in order to understand the marriage agency business I needed to sign up myself.

339
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Okay so I should pull out the form should I?

340
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
How old are you?

341
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Age 30.

342
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And your annual income.

343
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Could I say a million pounds?

344
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Well I'm very happy for you if that's the case.

345
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Would you check?

346
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
But that looks bad for you if you just accept that question.

347
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
No, what we'd normally do is put sufficient.

348
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,000
I shouldn't bring up any legal problems I may or may not have had.

349
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000
If there's anything that you feel is relevant that we should know about it we would appreciate to be told about that.

350
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Personally I feel it's not relevant.

351
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
You might disagree.

352
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I don't know and if you don't tell me do I?

353
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
It didn't go to trial.

354
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
I have no idea what you were talking about so...

355
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Not said.

356
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Okay.

357
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
She's quite an exceptional lady.

358
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
She's a girl.

359
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
I'm slightly surprised you didn't snap her up yourself.

360
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
She's actually looking for somebody younger.

361
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
So I'm afraid I'm out of it.

362
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
I'm too old.

363
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
So you did have a crack at that then?

364
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Well I wouldn't quite put it that way.

365
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Kukai we met when we were in the middle of the fall.

366
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
So she's on the books as well?

367
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
She seemed nice.

368
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
I'll put her down as well.

369
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Kukai 916.

370
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
916.

371
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
And are we still in the A-list here?

372
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
This is all.

373
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Maybe I should choose a couple of Bs just to be nice.

374
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Let's see what the Bs look like.

375
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
They do have like all the arms and legs and everything.

376
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Why is she a B?

377
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
She's made like 59 kilo.

378
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
That's actually about 9 kilo too much.

379
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000
So the Bs are kind of a purgatory?

380
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
I don't know.

381
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:18,000
I think you've made a provisional selection.

382
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
It's so hard isn't it?

383
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
It is difficult.

384
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Well what I'll do is I'll give that to one of my young ladies

385
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
who can make some phone calls and see who agrees to meet with you.

386
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Cheers.

387
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
You're welcome.

388
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Anytime you'll hear from us.

389
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Okay.

390
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,000
In preparation for my dates I decided to contact another Bangkok marriage agency.

391
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Thai professional introduction services.

392
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
They hooked me up with one of their newly arrived clients from Great Yaman.

393
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
His name is Lake Parma.

394
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Hello.

395
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Good morning.

396
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Are you Lake Parma?

397
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Yes I am.

398
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Can I come in?

399
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Of course you can.

400
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
I'm Louis.

401
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
How do you do?

402
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Ah lovely.

403
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Not too bubbly.

404
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Can I offer you some refreshment?

405
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Oh I wouldn't mind a coffee or something.

406
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Look at you.

407
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
You're looking very good.

408
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000
And what was it in particular that attracted you to the Thai women?

409
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
I'm 56 now.

410
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Very much alone.

411
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
And I think life is passing me by.

412
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
If I could find somebody to love and take care of and I could offer them something in return.

413
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,000
A home, a different environment, love, affection.

414
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Then...

415
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
So today I understand it's quite an exciting day for you.

416
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,000
You're actually going to go on some dates with some Thai women.

417
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Your first date.

418
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
First date.

419
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Is that right?

420
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
That's right.

421
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Quite exciting.

422
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Well they're apprehensive.

423
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Are you?

424
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000
They're a bit shaky.

425
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Shaky shaky?

426
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Why?

427
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Maybe under confident.

428
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Under confident.

429
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
I mean Thai people are supposed to be quite...

430
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,000
All their lovely people.

431
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Yeah shy.

432
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
But very shy.

433
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Very calm you right down.

434
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
I need somebody to calm me right down.

435
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Because I get a bit...

436
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I suffer with my nerves a little bit.

437
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Do you?

438
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000
I get a bit erratic.

439
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Uh oh.

440
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
No no.

441
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Uh oh.

442
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And what is it?

443
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
And what happens when you get erratic?

444
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Er blow off steam.

445
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Well you don't go ballistic.

446
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
No no no.

447
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
It all depends on the circumstances.

448
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Somebody upset me.

449
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000
I have a girl.

450
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Oh.

451
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
You know.

452
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I destroy them verbally.

453
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
I don't use force.

454
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I don't fight.

455
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Yeah.

456
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Don't mess with me.

457
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Okay.

458
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Yes.

459
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Okay.

460
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Wasn't planning on it.

461
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
No.

462
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
No.

463
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
No.

464
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
I didn't mean you.

465
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
I said they don't.

466
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000
They don't mess with me.

467
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Yeah.

468
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Yeah.

469
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Do you know what you're going to ask right here?

470
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Oh yes.

471
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Yes.

472
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,000
I have a list of questions here.

473
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Er this is a question for the lady.

474
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Question for the lady.

475
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Yeah.

476
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Can we open this up?

477
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Yes.

478
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Cool.

479
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
So these are questions you've written.

480
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
What are you looking for in a husband?

481
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Because there might be something I forget to ask.

482
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
And once she's gone I can't ask.

483
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
What are you looking for in a husband?

484
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Yeah.

485
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Why do you want a western gentleman?

486
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Why do you not want a Thai husband?

487
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
These are good questions.

488
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
These are questions I've been asking myself.

489
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
How quickly would you like or be able to come to the UK?

490
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
I'm an ex-serviceman retired.

491
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I have permanent home in the UK.

492
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
I have a car.

493
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Brackets paid for.

494
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
I have no money worry so I could take care of you.

495
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
And you read out number five.

496
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,000
I would love and cherish you and you would be my number one wife,

497
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
number two friend, number three soulmate.

498
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
And I would always be faithful to you for the rest of my life.

499
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
What is this?

500
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
That's a picture of me with a band.

501
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,000
You are a musician?

502
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,000
No, just a singer.

503
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
I don't call myself.

504
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Singer really?

505
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Yeah, I do karaoke as well.

506
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Do you?

507
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Just for a past time.

508
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
What are you singing in that actual photograph?

509
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
I'll you loads on tonight.

510
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Probably.

511
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Because I'm always on a song.

512
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Really?

513
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
I'm a hard-filled with pain.

514
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Shall I come back again?

515
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:24,000
So with that, are you lonesome tonight?

516
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Here we go.

517
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
In advance of his date, Lake would be getting some tips on courting Etiket

518
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
from the marriage agency owner Lawrence Lynch.

519
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Nice to meet you.

520
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Nice to meet you.

521
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Welcome to Type Professional Interaction Services.

522
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Thank you very much.

523
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Type Professional Interaction Services.

524
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Would you like to take a seat?

525
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
I think we might be best if we go next door.

526
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Okay, yeah, yeah.

527
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Next door, yeah.

528
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000
It's not really appropriate to kiss or hug a lady,

529
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
not unless you've known him for a while.

530
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000
It may be okay, but by consent to hold a hand, that sort of thing.

531
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
But certainly, ties are not into showing extremes of infection,

532
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
not in public.

533
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Because you quite like to touch people, don't you?

534
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Well, I do, really.

535
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
But obviously, Etiket, when in Rome, there's the Rome.

536
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Can you hold back?

537
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Yes, yes, I will hold back.

538
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
I may sort of just go like that.

539
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Well, is that all right?

540
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Yeah, if you say to the lady, do you mind if I hold your hand?

541
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
And she says, no, that's fine.

542
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
As long as you ask first.

543
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
What about, do you mind if I run my fingers through your hair?

544
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
That wouldn't absolutely be very appropriate.

545
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Not on the first date or two.

546
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
No.

547
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Okay, I'm going to be keeping a discrete distance, right?

548
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000
But if I see Lake running his hand over the head of the date or whatever,

549
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
should I just run in and pull him away?

550
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
He might just tap me head over like that.

551
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Yeah, you take big sticks with you, but we'll stick with you.

552
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
I'll go like that.

553
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
No, I'll be there.

554
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000
You can remember that.

555
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
What about English, because in Britain, we don't like to pick our noses in public.

556
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
That is an interesting one, actually.

557
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:10,000
It may seem a little unusual, but in fact, in Thailand, picking one's nose is not a big thing.

558
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Really?

559
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Yeah, you can see people from high-class people and they're sitting there picking their nose.

560
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,000
And that's okay?

561
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
That's okay in some of the other domains.

562
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
That's going to be quite nice.

563
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
It's unusual.

564
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Do you want me to pick my nose then?

565
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000
No, no, no, I'm not suggesting that.

566
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
I'm pretty much used to picking my nose.

567
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Well, who would you say?

568
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,000
I don't pick my nose, either.

569
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
You were saying when in Rome, Lake.

570
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
I don't pick my nose, but when in Rome.

571
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Okay, I'll have a good pick.

572
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
It's not an under-blow in those languages.

573
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,000
I'll have a good pick.

574
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
And that'll be fine, as long as you don't rub your hair through the hair of the person you're with.

575
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
I'm not recommended.

576
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
No, no, no.

577
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,000
You think you can earn that?

578
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Yeah.

579
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Yeah.

580
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Anything.

581
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
No, because Lake occasionally gets slightly agitated.

582
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
But we know that.

583
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Yeah, we all know that.

584
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,000
We all get agitated.

585
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,000
We all get agitated.

586
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
But I'll tell him.

587
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
If I'm agitated, I'll tell him.

588
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
But here, that may be more serious.

589
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,000
No, but I'll know it.

590
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Yeah, you know him, but you don't know the tale.

591
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
What I'm trying to say is that you will, I'm sure, when you meet your date, that you will find that she makes you...

592
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
She's so fair and honest, she's so graceful, so calm.

593
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
She'll be a calming...

594
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
She will calm me right now.

595
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000
This is your date.

596
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000
You'll get with us to grace.

597
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
We don't know.

598
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
All right, because it's going to happen here.

599
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
I suppose so, yeah.

600
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
How do you think it's going to get on with the ones?

601
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,000
He's been through a lot in his life.

602
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
He's had this post-traumatic stress syndrome that he's had several problems.

603
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
He has to take a lot of medication, so it does give him mood swings.

604
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
But he's a lovely man.

605
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Times get frustrated with things, but I mean, he's a lovely man.

606
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Will you let the young women know that he has this ambition?

607
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,000
We tell them everything.

608
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Oh, yes, we tell them everything.

609
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
We tell them everything about the man.

610
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000
We'd like to match an alien man who we think are going to be compatible.

611
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
I've got a question.

612
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I've got a question for you.

613
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Hey.

614
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Yeah.

615
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
How are you doing, mate?

616
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,000
You're feeling okay?

617
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Yeah.

618
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:04,000
What is it that you think that Thai women possess, in your view, that makes them so attractive to Western men?

619
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Well, they're springy beautiful.

620
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
They're springy beautiful.

621
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
They're so regal.

622
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000
You've got it.

623
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000
You've got it.

624
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,000
They're so emancipated or emancipated?

625
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
They make it a beauty.

626
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
English women want to be men.

627
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000
A woman is a woman and must be treated as such.

628
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
I have a hunch that Western women will be a bit shocked by what some of the things you're saying about them.

629
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000
That's good.

630
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Let them be shocked.

631
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000
That may be the case.

632
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
They'll probably change their ways a bit.

633
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
I think that maybe they should be shocked.

634
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:44,000
I think the pendulum has maybe swung a little bit too far from the 1950s on the traditional way.

635
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:51,000
So the situation now where perhaps the lady is wearing the trousers a little bit, but still wants to be treated as a lady.

636
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Late.

637
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Have you had bad luck with Western women?

638
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
I've had very bad experiences.

639
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
I find it very hard to trust now.

640
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
I just want to be happy.

641
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,000
I want to love.

642
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
I want to be loved back in.

643
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
I find nobody wants me.

644
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
If I could find happiness in England, would I be sitting here now?

645
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Would I pay the money to come out here?

646
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
It's your first date.

647
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
You've calmed me down a lot.

648
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Have I?

649
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Yeah, me and the world.

650
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000
What kind of wine do you have?

651
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Have you?

652
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
You haven't told me that.

653
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000
No, I haven't.

654
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
There you are.

655
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Lawrence wine, yeah.

656
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Did he?

657
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Yeah.

658
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
How?

659
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Just his attitude sometimes.

660
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Why?

661
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000
What a way he carries on.

662
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
It's just that time, I'm afraid.

663
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
It's the time for you to meet your chosen lady.

664
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Oase asked the questions in Thai.

665
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
I know that thing.

666
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Interbiter tells me, right?

667
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000
And then the interpreter tells the lady the things that I am off.

668
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Well, listen, the interpreter tells the lady the things that I am offering.

669
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Okay.

670
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
All right?

671
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Don't try and stay calm.

672
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I am calm.

673
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
No, it's just the way you said it.

674
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Listen!

675
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
What do you don't listen, does he?

676
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Keep it calm.

677
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Keep it calm.

678
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Keep it calm.

679
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Are you all right there, Lawrence?

680
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:17,000
I can take it.

681
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
This is sign.

682
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Hello.

683
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,000
I want to meet you.

684
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Very pleased to meet you.

685
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000
How are you?

686
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Fine.

687
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Lovely.

688
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Oh, very well.

689
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Thank you.

690
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Do you like to sit down?

691
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Thank you.

692
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,000
The interpreter will be here in about two minutes.

693
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000
That's okay.

694
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Hello.

695
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Hello.

696
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Pleased to meet you.

697
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Pleased to meet you.

698
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Thank you.

699
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Why is she looking for a husband?

700
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
I want to find my husband.

701
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
My husband is happy.

702
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
She has a five-year-old son and she wants a happy family because in the past she hasn't

703
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
been too happy.

704
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Her family has been too happy.

705
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Okay.

706
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Okay.

707
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
I have been married twice.

708
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Right?

709
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Broken heart.

710
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
The ladies go off with other men.

711
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
When cats away, the mice are played.

712
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
I don't want it to happen again.

713
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
She's been purred with words for a while.

714
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000
I don't want to hear it.

715
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I don't want to hear it.

716
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
I don't want to hear it.

717
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000
I don't want to hear it.

718
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I don't want to hear it.

719
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Okay.

720
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000
She's been purred with words for a while and she has been, because of the sweet words,

721
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,000
she has been having to work to support women and women.

722
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,000
She was a kid and she said that.

723
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,700
Therefore, she is still hurt from that and she knows how it feels to work.

724
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:25,000
We are both hurt.

725
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000
You are both hurt.

726
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Is she a good cook?

727
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Come on.

728
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Oh, please.

729
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000
I want to be a nice cook.

730
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:36,000
She knows how to cook because she used to open a restaurant.

731
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
I would love, love and cherish.

732
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,000
I would...

733
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Oh, sorry, Lake.

734
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Didn't know you handed it off.

735
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,000
It's good to ask.

736
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
You can't be on the...

737
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Later.

738
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Yeah, okay.

739
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Later.

740
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Right.

741
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I would hope how...

742
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000
I...

743
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
I just put me off now.

744
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Now, I have a pleasant terrorist house in the Armour,

745
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
which is rented, but it's permanent.

746
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,000
I live there till I die.

747
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Okay?

748
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Right, right near the sea.

749
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Okay, near sea.

750
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Okay?

751
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Now, I've just been thinking, right?

752
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Three bedrooms, okay?

753
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000
One for her son, one for the two of us,

754
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000
if she decides to get married and come to UK.

755
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And small bedroom, small bedroom,

756
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
box room, could be made into an office.

757
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,000
All I want is a nice home, a family, nice...

758
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Somebody to take out, a nice wife,

759
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
and somebody to care for me and me to return.

760
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
I feel like a flower without any water.

761
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
It withers and dies.

762
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
I don't want...

763
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000
I don't want to die without love, you know?

764
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
I need love and affection.

765
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
I crave for love and affection.

766
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,000
If she gives it to me, I will give it back tenfold.

767
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
I know it's very quickly to make a decision,

768
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
but after all that she has heard,

769
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
do you think she likes me?

770
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I know it's very quick to make a decision.

771
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000
She says that she finds that you're a really nice person to be with,

772
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
but then she still says it's really hard for her to say at this moment...

773
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Of course, of course, I understand that.

774
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Would you ask if she mind if I hold her hand on the street?

775
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Something...

776
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Say yes or no, don't mind, don't mind.

777
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
She says she minds.

778
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
She minds. I won't do it.

779
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Tell her I won't do it.

780
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Okay.

781
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
So far it seemed to be going quite well.

782
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Although I did worry that Lake was moving a little too fast.

783
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Very nice. Look, flowers like jungle.

784
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Yeah.

785
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Yeah.

786
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Thank you very much. Thank you.

787
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Okay.

788
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,000
So you have come with Sai as a friend to make sure everything is okay?

789
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Yes, right.

790
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,000
I don't think we have any problems. It can't be solved.

791
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
When we work together, we solve all problems.

792
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Yeah. No problem. I look after you.

793
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Thank you.

794
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000
I love you and I look after you and take care of you.

795
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Sai doesn't speak too much English.

796
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
No, just a little bit.

797
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000
If you want to see me then.

798
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
And you'd like to bring some, that is okay.

799
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Understand?

800
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Yeah.

801
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
It's been a pleasure. Thank you.

802
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
You know how to contact me?

803
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Through Hotel or Mr Lawrence or Tappany.

804
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
And I speak to you soon.

805
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Okay. Bye-bye.

806
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
God bless.

807
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Thank you.

808
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Okay.

809
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
You mustn't touch the Thai women though.

810
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
No, you really mustn't.

811
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

812
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
They don't mind.

813
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
They know it's not sexual.

814
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
It went pretty well.

815
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
I think she was a tease.

816
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Do you think she might be the one?

817
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Yes, it could be.

818
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
I've got to give you the ladies a chance.

819
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000
I feel awful seeing you the ladies.

820
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
But now they booked. I can't really let them down.

821
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
It's not very fair, is it?

822
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
I mean, she wasn't committing, was she?

823
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
No, no.

824
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
She was not committing.

825
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
I don't quite know how she was feeling.

826
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
She was very happy.

827
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
She was very sort of relaxed.

828
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000
You didn't seem to get too exitated at any point, did you?

829
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
No, no.

830
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
I thought you were touching her a bit.

831
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Probably forgot.

832
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
She said she wouldn't hold my hand.

833
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Yet she held my hand.

834
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
You kind of pressured her into it.

835
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
No, I just asked her. She said, OK.

836
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000
I didn't have one complaint.

837
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
I only took her to get her attention.

838
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
To get her attention.

839
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
But you didn't say, get off.

840
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
But would a Thai woman do that?

841
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,000
No, they did sort of treat her a bit.

842
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
The overwhelming pressure was that she was really nice.

843
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
I was sorry to say a go.

844
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
We waved goodbye and she was in the car.

845
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Bye bye, bye bye.

846
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
She came out as a really nice person.

847
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
I think if she is the one and I go home on the plane,

848
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
I cry all the way out.

849
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Must be so to go.

850
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Thoughts?

851
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Thoughts. I thought Lady was a lovely lady.

852
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
God had goings.

853
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
He moves very quickly.

854
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,000
He was sort of like getting close to proposing love, I thought.

855
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Quite early on.

856
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
He wears his heart on his sleeve.

857
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000
He's a lovely man.

858
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
He's very easily hurt.

859
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,000
If Sai is not interested in seeing Lake again,

860
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
how will you deal with that?

861
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
We'll tell you the truth.

862
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
It works both ways.

863
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Telling the truth.

864
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
How do you think you're feeling about that?

865
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
The pill will be sugared by meeting other ladies in between.

866
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
It's been quite hard on you.

867
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
I'm sorry, I didn't take it.

868
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
It's part of the job.

869
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
At the end of the day they shake my hands and say thank you very much.

870
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
That's where it's all about, making people happy.

871
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Giving them their dreams.

872
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Dreamweaver.

873
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Lawrence Lynch, Dreamweaver.

874
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
We tie our humble best.

875
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
There you go.

876
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Good one. Thank you. All right, it's good.

877
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
It's a bit of pleasure.

878
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Nice to meet you, Louis. You too.

879
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
It's a bit of pleasure.

880
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Let me know how it goes. Will you give me updates?

881
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
I will. OK, bye now.

882
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000
The next day I had a call from Ronnie to say several Thai women

883
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
had expressed an interest in my particulars.

884
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000
I'd found yesterday's dating experience a little unnerving.

885
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
I decided I wouldn't be using any of Lake's techniques.

886
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
All right.

887
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Well, you gave me a selection of ladies that you would like to meet.

888
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
And what do they know about me?

889
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,000
At this stage, I think they know your age and your height

890
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
and your profession, and we think you're a nice guy.

891
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000
So you have to lie a little bit.

892
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
You call that lying?

893
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Is it too late to back out?

894
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Not very polite.

895
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
The ladies are actually here.

896
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Is that a problem?

897
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
How do you do?

898
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Bye, thank you. And what's your name?

899
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Max. Max.

900
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Please sit down.

901
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
I'm just going to get a chair for myself so I can sit down.

902
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Excuse me.

903
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Just relax. Yes, I am relaxed.

904
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
May I ask how old you are?

905
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Thirty.

906
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Thirty? Wow, you look much younger.

907
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
I also like your hair very much.

908
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Very fashionable.

909
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
You can do like this.

910
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
You can match your hair color.

911
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
You can make a highlight like this, or many colors.

912
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
What do you want in your ideal husband?

913
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Kindness, man.

914
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Gentle, good looking, good money, good job.

915
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Do you have any questions for me?

916
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Do you have a girlfriend?

917
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
That's a tough one.

918
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
I do actually. I do have a girlfriend, and she's in London.

919
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
I think it's because you look good looking tonight.

920
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Excellent.

921
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
It's going quite well, isn't it?

922
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Absolutely.

923
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Thank you very much.

924
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Thank you.

925
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Nice to see you.

926
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Good luck.

927
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
She's a strong woman, which I think is excellent,

928
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
but that's not what you've been putting out, is it?

929
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
She's exposed to the western world much more than others.

930
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
As you know, she's a tourist, can't wait.

931
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
I almost feel as though you're everything.

932
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,000
I almost feel as though you're ever so slightly distancing yourself

933
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,000
from what she represents, I suppose.

934
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
She's not typical.

935
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
No.

936
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
For your husband, do you have an age in mind?

937
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Would you like him to be a certain age?

938
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
40 years up.

939
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
What if he's less than 40, like 30?

940
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Oh, no. I think he's sturdy young.

941
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Too young?

942
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Yeah.

943
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Okay, Ronnie, that's me out of the picture.

944
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
I'm only 30.

945
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Why would you like to marry a western man?

946
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Because I think they're kind, and I hope they're romantic.

947
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Where in your dreams would you live?

948
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
I'd like to go to live in England.

949
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Really?

950
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Why to England?

951
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Somebody told me beautiful country.

952
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
I travel a lot because I make television programs.

953
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000
So I might be away, you know, for two weeks.

954
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,000
They come back for a week, then go away for two weeks.

955
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Is that a problem?

956
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
It's not a problem.

957
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
I'd like to travel.

958
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
I couldn't always take you with me.

959
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Yeah, I know.

960
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Do you want children?

961
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Yeah.

962
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
So maybe one, two.

963
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Yeah.

964
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Do you marry a lady?

965
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
I've never known.

966
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
I've never married no children.

967
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
No children.

968
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000
You're a very beautiful young woman.

969
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Anyway, before you go out,

970
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,000
do people actually, and people sometimes,

971
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
and then presumably sometimes the entire women say,

972
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000
thank you?

973
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
It says in your brochure that you should get used to the idea of rejection.

974
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,000
It could happen, and if that does happen,

975
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
don't take offence.

976
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,000
It does happen.

977
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Oh yeah.

978
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000
You could be interested to go out with him if he asks you.

979
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
He doesn't need.

980
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
No, it's...

981
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
He actually said you're all very nice.

982
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000
I know your answer.

983
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
I think you quite like him, yes?

984
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Yeah.

985
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Yeah, I thought so.

986
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Would you go out with him or not?

987
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
He's definitely too young for you.

988
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Louis, do you have girlfriend?

989
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
I know.

990
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Let's suppose he didn't have a girlfriend.

991
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,000
If he didn't have a lady friend.

992
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,000
I'd go with you.

993
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,000
You would?

994
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Yeah.

995
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Okay.

996
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Okay, thank you.

997
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,000
All right.

998
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Okay, I'll be in your bathroom.

999
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Yeah, okay.

1000
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
All right, thank you.

1001
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,000
All right, bye-bye.

1002
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
As far as I'm concerned,

1003
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
they all would like to go out with you if you were a genuine client.

1004
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Wow.

1005
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,000
So the choice would then be down to you, really.

1006
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
No, I could just have my pig.

1007
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
I could just do whatever I want.

1008
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I mean, no, you can't do whatever you want.

1009
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,000
But seven out of ten would be happy with you if you were free.

1010
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
I'm not going to take this any further

1011
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
as far as going to any restaurants or anything.

1012
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Is that all right?

1013
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,000
No problem, yeah.

1014
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,000
So problem.

1015
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,000
No.

1016
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Amazing.

1017
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,000
So, I mean, I know you're not going to agree with this, Ronnie,

1018
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
but I do think there's a perception

1019
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
that Western people can offer more security in their relationships.

1020
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Nothing wrong with that, though.

1021
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
The security that they're actually looking for

1022
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
in the relationship over and above the financial side

1023
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,000
is the emotional security.

1024
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,000
But if you look at the statistics in between us,

1025
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,000
I mean, I've only been going out for the same, for a long time.

1026
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Right.

1027
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
But you've had four marriages.

1028
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Nothing wrong with that.

1029
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Nothing wrong with that.

1030
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Nothing wrong with that.

1031
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
But the average between us is two divorces.

1032
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
And they're all yours.

1033
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Can I just say, I thought I was...

1034
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Those women were very, very nice.

1035
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Thank you.

1036
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Really nice.

1037
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
And so thank you very much for taking this.

1038
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
You're all very welcome.

1039
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Really.

1040
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Well, I should probably be moving along.

1041
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,000
OK.

1042
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
And maybe we can hook up sometime in...

1043
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Absolutely.

1044
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
See you later.

1045
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,000
See you here.

1046
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Thank you.

1047
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000
I quite liked Ronnie.

1048
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
I only hoped his latest marriage would fare better

1049
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000
than the previous three.

1050
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Cheers.

1051
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Now that I'd had my dates,

1052
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
it was clear just how easy it was to get involved.

1053
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
And I worried that agency clients

1054
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,000
entered into their relationships without thinking them through.

1055
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
As if on cue, the next day,

1056
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
I received a hurried phone call from Lawrence Lynch

1057
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000
on the latest developments in Lake's love life.

1058
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
I hoped he hadn't done anything too drastic.

1059
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Hi, Louis.

1060
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Lawrence.

1061
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Nice to see you.

1062
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
You too.

1063
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Please take a seat.

1064
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,000
How are you?

1065
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,000
I'm doing very well.

1066
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Looking well.

1067
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Yes, thank you.

1068
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And I hear there's...

1069
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Love is in the air indeed.

1070
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Love is in the air.

1071
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
So when last we met,

1072
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Lake had been on a date with Si.

1073
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000
And what's happened since then?

1074
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Well, we got feedback on the date the next morning.

1075
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
And Lake was sort of look warm on it.

1076
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,000
No, he wasn't.

1077
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
All right.

1078
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
A little bit more than look warm.

1079
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Yes.

1080
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
But the lady was look warm at the end of the day.

1081
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Really?

1082
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
So that one fell on Stony ground.

1083
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
And he went on two more dates.

1084
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:30,000
And, lo and behold, this particular lady caught Lake's eye.

1085
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,000
They had a half hour together sort of expressing what they were looking for in partners,

1086
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,000
as we always do.

1087
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
And agreed to go out on their first date at 7 o'clock that evening.

1088
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,000
So...

1089
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
So this is two days ago this has happened?

1090
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Indeed.

1091
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Since then they've got married.

1092
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
They're married.

1093
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,000
They're married this morning.

1094
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
We've just come back from their wedding about three hours ago.

1095
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
They're very happy.

1096
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
That's unbelievable.

1097
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Married already?

1098
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Indeed.

1099
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Now, two days?

1100
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Indeed, yes.

1101
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,000
He proposed to the lady on the first date.

1102
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Is that... why?

1103
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
That seems too quick.

1104
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,000
That seems a rush.

1105
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:08,000
And just the day before it seemed like he wanted to bring Psy home back to Great Yarmouth.

1106
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,000
And now he wants to... he's talking about marrying... he's married to this other woman.

1107
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,000
I think what you've got to believe is it's...

1108
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
That seems really... that seems much too quick.

1109
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Well...

1110
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
And she knows about, you know, that he's on heavy medication.

1111
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Yes, yes.

1112
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
And post-traumatic syndrome.

1113
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
It gets very agitated and angry in a sense.

1114
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Yes, yes.

1115
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
They spent... they spent...

1116
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Yes.

1117
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
They said, yes, indeed, she does.

1118
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,000
He told me himself, he finds her a calming influence.

1119
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,000
And he's a new man.

1120
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000
He really is.

1121
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,000
You will see it when you meet him.

1122
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
You understand why I'm pushing you a bit harder, you know, because I do think this is...

1123
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Yeah, I mean, people don't ever say this is very contrived.

1124
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,000
He's...

1125
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:51,000
I never, never suggest that anybody rushes into a hasty marriage unless they feel 100% certain.

1126
00:42:51,000 --> 00:43:02,000
At the same time, if both sides have had everything made clear to them, explained to them, and they're still prepared to proceed, we can't stop them.

1127
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Well, I think I might go over and meet the happy couple.

1128
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Excellent.

1129
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Hello!

1130
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,000
How are you doing?

1131
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Come on in.

1132
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Look at you.

1133
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000
All right.

1134
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Let's get down to it, baby.

1135
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Yes.

1136
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,000
How's it all been going?

1137
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
It has been like a fairy tale.

1138
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
We have very active two days.

1139
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Yes.

1140
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Very active, you know?

1141
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
I speak English.

1142
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Oh, sorry.

1143
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Very beautiful, lady.

1144
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Very beautiful.

1145
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,000
So what happened?

1146
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000
We talked three hours later.

1147
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
You want me?

1148
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Yes, I like you.

1149
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,000
You make me happy?

1150
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Yes, I make you happy.

1151
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Could you love me?

1152
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Yes, I could love you, yes.

1153
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000
You went through your list of questions, soulmate, cherished?

1154
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Yes, yes, yes.

1155
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Then Mr Lawrence Lynch comes in with his wife.

1156
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,000
We say, guess what?

1157
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,000
We have some news to tell you.

1158
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
He could not believe it, yes?

1159
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,000
I say we're going to get married.

1160
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
He went, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

1161
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:11,000
There must be the shortest period of time in his entire history.

1162
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Very quick.

1163
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Too quick?

1164
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,000
When you see a bargain, do you let it get away?

1165
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:27,640
somebody else by chemistry, meeting of minds.

1166
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,600
What was it that you liked about Lake when you saw him?

1167
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:39,440
What you have a friend, good friend, and someone to take care of each other because he

1168
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:50,560
told me everything. He said he's not a rich man. I said I don't want the money because

1169
00:44:50,560 --> 00:45:00,440
I have a car, I have a house, I have my own house. I think it's like honest.

1170
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,440
Very honest. And he takes medicine.

1171
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:09,440
Many, many, many too much medicine. He showed me.

1172
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:22,440
I give, I give to you. May the flame of our love never die. I love you. I need you. I want you. Okay.

1173
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,440
You made me happy.

1174
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,440
Yeah, make you happy.

1175
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:28,440
Okay.

1176
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,440
Thank you.

1177
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,440
You sure? You made me happy?

1178
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:42,440
Always make you happy. If you're not happy, you tell me. We are now one, 50-50 together.

1179
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:49,440
One. Okay? Not two people. One person. I love you.

1180
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,440
I love you too.

1181
00:45:53,440 --> 00:46:02,440
I wasn't quite sure what I'd just seen, but I knew it was time for me to leave.

1182
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,440
You have to go now.

1183
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:05,440
I think I make a move.

1184
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,440
Okay.

1185
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,440
Thank you so much.

1186
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,440
Lovely to see you.

1187
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:09,440
Thank you very much indeed.

1188
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:10,440
I'll be checking up on you.

1189
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:11,440
Yes.

1190
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,440
I'll be checking up on you.

1191
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:13,440
No more divorces.

1192
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:14,440
Konkukram.

1193
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,440
Sawadeeka.

1194
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:16,440
Sawadeeka.

1195
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,440
I left Thailand feeling confused.

1196
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:19,440
Bye-bye.

1197
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:27,440
Guys like Lake were definitely finding happiness, but for how long and at what price it was too early to say.

1198
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:56,440
How deep?
