Series 1, Episode 6 - Thailand

Giles' audio diary from Thailand, where he hopes to emerge spiritually. He does at least emerge physically, thanks to a sarong.

Further details

Giles has decided to find himself by going off to Thailand. Within hours of landing, he finds himself, but loses his rucksack. Where is the mysterious beach that all travellers talk about?

We follow Giles as he crosses oceans, treks across the mountains, dives through a waterfall and gets shot at in a hemp field.
