Review

Jane Rackham

Sue Perkins doesn’t want to pursue typically tourist activities in Thailand. “Sometimes you have to do things that terrify you,” she says, before abseiling into a sinkhole. She’s in Chiang Mai where, surprisingly she doesn’t bump into the Race across the World contestants. Instead, she gets a massage from an inmate in the women’s correctional institution (“She’s doing GBH on my feet,” she squeals), makes paper from elephant poo, learns about the importance of bamboo and participates in a ceremonial long boat race.

It’s an entertaining mix of fun experiences, charming moments and serious stuff, but the funniest bit is when she gets breakfast in bed.
