"like a hostage video" brilliant
Yes my favourite quote
Louis' interviewing style is a masterclass, subtle little pisstakes disguised as naivety
Trolling before it was cool, if you will.
He's a ruthless sneak
Not a clueless geek
Louis' technique is absolutely awesome, he narrows the focus into the issue without the 'subject' knowing what's happening.
Theroux is about as subtle as a sledghammer here
The americanslayer technique
"we're not that great, are we?" his delivery on that line is absolutely perfect haha
El Pro he totally nails it every time with simplicity. Cheers
The average Thai woman is beaten by her spouse. Most Westerners don't.
Only the Englishman knows that to be truly true.

How much time have you spent in Thailand?
The Thai brides episode is probably in the top 5 best Weird Weekends ever. You couldn't write what happened in that episode. As for the characters, you had Ronnie who was, for lack of a better term, a creepy Carry On character. You had Lawrence Lynch who looked and acted like a cheesy game show host. And then you had Lake Palmer who was like a tragic Steve Coogan character. The part at the end where he's singing "How deep is your love?" with Louis was actually quite sweet.
Francesca Baines a creepy carry on character, lmao! I hope you didn't mean sid James, he was banging babs for years lol
Great comment mate!
The Lake Palmer story is quite a sad one i must admit, turned out the Thai bride he married already had 2 other western husbands and was stringing them all on for their money. I think it was 8 days after they got married they divorced, an in that time Lake sent her around £3000-3500 he says
He should’ve done one about Russian dating/marriage agencies and the guys that got scammed big time. Bit late now though, I should imagine their business isn’t going too well at the moment.
Another funny one was when he delved into the world of women’s bodybuilding, how they use steroids and make money on the side by wrestling men. He ended up with his head between someone’s legs. He kept calling one of them “supergirl” but the way he kept over-emphasising the “girl” bit made it seem that he had his doubts.
"I am not being mistreated". Ahahaha, Louis is hilarious!
lious got a great sense of dry humour!
poor Ronnie. Louis is trolling him SO hard.
His nose 👃 must be bigger than his.......
Yes Louis trolling LOL
It's sad really, doesn't seem abnormal or strange to want a foreign wife.
@@Crazy_Talk96 of course it's not strange, but sometimes you wonder what they are really after
Louis is great at matching the energy of who he is interviewing
Louis cracks me up "i'm not being mistreated", lol. He makes by far the best documentaries.
i think everyone that watched this got a creepy vibe from ronnie, imagining him alone with one of those girls terrifies me.
i dont think its the girls we should all worry about i dont think that is hes cup of tea...
Not at all, you obviously have a warped mind..
John Smith Hi Ronnie.
kappa Hi sicko..
So you alone with them is ok?
Louie is going down as the best and most fearless troll in history. He's absolutely hilarious on the low
"Hostage Video"!!! 😂😂😂 The guys a legend!
“Me? ? In a an alls girls changing room, ….at 2 am? Surely not!
Anyone who watched the
Fast show will get this…and realise this chap is the embodiment of that character.
The 13th Duke of Wybourne!
I had a guitar teacher in the last two years of primary school (aged 10 and 11) then one day when I was about 14 there he was on some ITV Thai bride documentary lmao 😅
Oh god. Whatever the opposite of patriotism is, I am feeling that now.
@@johnny2f55 Give it a rest he's just an old codger making a living in thailand and taking advantage of their nonexistent laws
@SP Hes trying to provide a better life for his cock you mean!
@@iama2509 lol
But you “Ingrish numba won”. 1:13
Who's the sucker? The girl for marrying a sex creep, or the guy who now has to be an ATM for her huge family? It's a strange mix of funny / sad. Louis is a genius.
Tell me more, sounds like you know a lot about it.
It's a mutual trade agreement between 2 adults I side towards the younger person as being the victim
"Naturally hairless?" "i beg your pardon" louis you jokr
that guy with the cap should be in a carry on film
He was..
He makes Sid James look like a feminist!
The way Louis says 'what about 16?' cracks me up
I have no idea what happened in the video, I couldn't take my eyes off that nose. You could shelter a whole family from a thunderstorm under that thing
10 seconds in "Ronnie Conrad" just finished me 😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like he knows some moves ;)
@@rowgli 🤣🤣🤣👏 classic
This episode's one of my faves. Lake Palmer's the icing on the cake 😏😎
May our love never die.
Lake and Palmer are not two people but one person
@@pappy374 8 days later it did.. back to his newly converted box room in Yarmouth
@@pappy374 yes so unexpected, tragic. The candle 🕯️ of love
“I am not being mistreated” 😂😂😂😂
I'm an American guy who just moved to Thailand and I see this stuff all the time... Very disturbing indeed.
When Louis asked about 14 year old girls the guy thought he’d been busted for a second, you could see the panic!
I don't know what you were watching but nothing like that happened. Dick.
Completely wrong. You have a sick mind..
I know it was so awkward I felt it from here
love all the people here who think they're dead clever because they've spotted that love isn't the main motive for these women in wanting to marry English men
Took me 9 years to figure that out
Who else is here 13 years after upload?
"It's a bit like a hostage video tape" LMAO
Yes--the "office" location is in the Bangkok equivalent of, say Oxford Street/Strand in London.
The rent will be astronomical by Thai standards.
Handsome Ronnie Conrad and Mr Lawrence Lynch, both have the wisdom that most of us crave.
2:00 "It's a bit like a hostage video tape." LOL!
I'd marry louis :(
"What about 16"... No I don't think so
"What about 14" 😭🤣😭🤣
The girl Kookai who worked in Ronnie Conrad's agency office (real name Kanyarat Wediphitak) is currently on death row in Thailand, accused of smuggling 500kg of methamphetamine with her Australian partner, Luke Cook.
Wow, very interesting
Update:
After 5 years, Kookai was freed from prison last year in September 2021, both she and her husband Luke Cook have been cleared of all charges.
Cook has been deported back to Australia, Kookai remains in Thailand.
(Whispers) "I am not being mistreated." Ahahaha
ronnie is a straight up cartoon character
I wish Ronnie was my wing man....
'It's a bit like a hostage video tape'
Ahahahaha
Thai wives seem reasonably priced but wait until you see the cost of shipping… 🙄
The cap makes him a sure winner and took the creep out of the gentleman in English.
Ronnie reminds me of a character from Viz
“Ingliss Namba Wan”
Bro I'm fucking dead😂😂😂😂
1:13 We're number 1! :D lol
+a stupid genius i can tell you thought that anyway.
TAIWAN NUMBA 1
Well, YOUR not, im pretty sure...
Stating the obvious.
That part upset me. Such a shame to see someone forsake their own country so eagerly
"It is like a clubhouse here." Vintage comment.
" it's a bit like a hostage video , no it's not quite like that" 🤣
Ronnie with his three reliables for faux English gent abroad
- golf cap
- cravat
- fine cotton tank top
Add a gap toothed grin and hey presto : perfect frontman for organised crime activity
What's the impact of dating apps on this matching-business? At least, this kind of setup is laid out in like in market shelves.
Ronny sounds like Riff Raff from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm waiting for him to bust into " IIII REEEEMMMMEBERRR DOING THE TIIMMMMEEWARPPP...!"
"what about sixteen?" *grin*
hahaha
“English number one” you sure sweetheart?
Now that is how you troll someone in real life
Shortly after this, Louis met his man and now serves noodles when his chains are released. But he's reportedly never been happier.
I did wonder what happened to Louie. He dropped off the radar for a long time. Now I know.
Louis Theroux is so cool
1:13 It's the reverse of the China number one meme hahaha
This Louis Theroux episode is a "must watch" for any farang 😋
Eh, marrying to get out of your current situation is never a good answer. Also, if you're looking into getting a 'mail order bride' just be ready for her to leave you when she finds out that although you might live better than most people in her country there are some people that live A LOT better than you. It just isn't a good solution for either side.
ANYTHING FOR A VISA
Great interview. Those dudes who do this are creepy as all hell.
... or a granddaughter?
LOUIS! MAKE MORE DOCUMENTARIES NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
That 19 year old saying English men are more interesting just means they have more money than Thai men.
a canadian friend of mine had a chinese wife, she said she found chinese men "girly" and "weak." she wanted a western man.
@Gulaid M I think you've been watching too much porn.
The guy in the cap reminds of a Harry Enfield character, Only Me!!!!!
Why? He does show things that are totally normal for "those" people but very strange for us. I always find him showing respect to everybody he interviews although he does also take the mickey - as some people are, indeed, very weird!!
''It's a bit like a hostage videoclip.''
LMAO
Lake Palmer, Ronnie Conrad nuff said.
in indonesia middle eastern men enjoy the pleasure of leasing 'brides' on a monthly basis, the thais have a lot of catching up to do
notso spooky yeah those pious muslims.
Ha ha Louie handled his part well!
"English numbah one."
pmsl @ 'it's a bit like a hostage video' 🤣
That Brit producer knows axactly how to play everyone.
The original of this was filmed at night in a Bar in an are infamous for its Naughty nightlife.
We shot it- and somehow they pitched it in the rubish bin after- but the producer was great.
a bit like two ronnies and John Cleese it was
foolish to put that one in the rubish bin mate
were ya trying to ruin my career or what?
He is like a cross between del boy and arthur daley
this whole video reminded me of the phrase "me love you long time"
Sucky sucky 5 dorra
the host is so funny... I'm not being mistreated....LOL.....
I prefer Filipina or Indonesian women. Same skin tone and dark eyes but more womanly figures than a lot of the Thai girls especially the ones in brothels who sadly probably don't eat as much as the ones who I meet here in Canada
Say hello to Ronny.... Spot on!!!
Louis is a legend
@Pendragon1717 He speaks very softly but his accent is fairly ordinary middle-class southern England, you make him sound like he's Brian Sewell. His dress sense is very country club though, that cravat under the shirt and all.
Louis is a genius!
Are you kidding? She was definitely beautiful. There are clearly ulterior motives at play here.
I bet that guy drives a Jaguar, he looks like and comes across like the stereotypical Jag driving cad.
English men are number one? Have they been to england before? What about scottish men or irish men or french men or welsh men or german men or american men? Because England is a soft touch with foreigners thats why.
Ronnie Conrad sounds like Riff Raff from Rocky Horror
Caddish - Terry Thomas “ding dong”
"Or a granddaughter" lol
ahahaha, louis is such a funny dude
Lol I feel more dirty watching this than accidently shitting my pants
Shes way ahead of the game.
"Your business will be broadcast on television..."
- thank you, that's great!
"... by Louis Thoreux."
- oh shit...
If a guy from Germany walked in that exact same girl would have said 'German #1'
This guy has to be the most oblivious investigator I've ever seen. It's either on purpose or he's really just this real life Mr. Magoo.
It’s his style. He agrees with them, and yet the crazy things he gets them to say is incredible. Louis is absolutely brilliant.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder isn't it? Beautiful for your taste maybe, but for some men I know they are considered too physically child-like to be sexually appealing.
You do meet some real characters in Bangkok. English number 1..for paying big money.
English number ONE!
never thought of myself as valuable commodity..
lol..
I love Louis! ❤️
I think you mean Ronnie!
Bangkok CBT introduction presented by BBC
a) you mean they left them?
b) can't argue there...
Mr Dudley dial a bride , is that you Ting Tong ?
top bloke louis
It's a bit like a hostage video tape!..LOL
Ronnie speaks softer than the late Prince Philip
