Bangkok Airport

Today we go behind the scenes at the world’s smiliest airport. We meet Thailand’s happiest Immigration Officer, Capt. Jack, and the laughing Doctor who has his patients in stitches. But not everyone?s smiling... Melody’s lost her passport and Matt?s stranded at Tourist Police HQ. Backpacker John checks in to the airport medical centre after his round-Asia trip hits the skids; and will Scotsman Paul make it to the gate after his big night out in Departures? It’s just another day at the Airport of Smiles. Please note this version may differ slightly from the UKTX version.

It?s the eve of the annual airport awards and the staff are being extra-specially nice. Everyone wants to win the coveted award for customer service, especially Bay in VAT Refunds. But not everyone?s impressed by the customer care they?re getting. Cosmos and Harry can?t get a flight back to London and Aussie teenager Will is left high and dry after a night out in Bangkok. Staff at the medical centre rally round when a British backpacker almost loses his foot, and we meet the airport doctor who?s so popular he?s got his own fan club.
