PICK> Farang Pok Pok

Broadcast time: Mon 8:00-8:30pm
TV Guide: Luke Cassady-Dorion, a yoga instructor and Thai-language student at Rakhamhaeng Univeristy (read our interview at http://tiny.cc/jwion) and English teaching TV presenter Adam Bradshaw take you along on their homestay trips to upcountry provinces where they experience local lifestyles and communities.
What we like: Thanks to Luke’s cute accent and hilarious jokes, this is our number one favorite—we can watch it without itching to channel surf.

Hang Over Thailand

Broadcast time: Sun 10-11pm
TV Guide: A roadtrip-style program (sponsored by a car company) which sees film director Songyot Sukmakanant gather his friends, actors Toey Charinporn and Kant Chunhavat and singer Bel Supon and travel to destinations in Thailand.
What we like: Yeah, we’re star groupies and love Toey Charinporn’s cute smile. Given that the director is a cinema pro, you can also expect high-quality video.

Charn Mai Chai Khao

Broadcast time: Sun 9:30-10pm
TV Guide: University teacher Dr. Kitti Attakijmongkol gained popularity on Pantip.com thanks to his blog, rainynights.bloggang.com, featuring gorgeous photos of the hotels and resorts he’s visited. Now he gets his own show where he gives tips on how to get good photos.
What we like: Although not a professional photographer, Dr. Kitti is a real-life example that you can learn from doing. And his tips are not too difficult to follow if you’re prepared to put in the time.

Tuen Toom

Broadcast time: Sat 8:30-9:00pm
TV Guide: You get to watch a group of friends (a few girls and few gay guys) eating all kinds of food, playing jokes, bitching to each other and facing problems during their domestic and international trips. Their latest trip was London.
What we like: If you like honest opinions and bitchy gay guys, you’ll find the program amusing—just don’t expect to learn anything about the history of the city they’ve visited or anything about the places where they’ve eaten.
