We had a film crew from Channel 5 ask if they can come and do a TV slot about our little coffee shop in Suphanburi (map here). This happens occasionally, as Mare has done a great job of creating a very handsome and picturesque little coffee shop, and so those that stop by are impressed with its appearance (and the great food and coffee, of course).
Making the most of the opportunity, Por jazzed himself up and was given the honour of having to appear on camera, being interviewed by the two main guys. The programmes format is simple enough; two different Thai celebs basically visit a nice place to eat, whilst asking the owner a few questions about the food on offer. Once its all mixed up and edited down you have around 5 minutes or so of film.
Even Sutiya and I got a chance to be in the programme; we starred as two 'customers' (me with my TEE Coffee T-shirt on..... Sssssssssh). Yes, the whole scene was slightly farcical being that 1. We both work there and 2. Por has never taken an order for coffee in his life. So the three of us generally made a huge pigs ear of it. I really hope it makes it into the final cut, just so I can kill myself laughing as Por pretends to write our order on his hand, and with an invisible pen.
These film crew types work hard. They pretty much spent the entire day at the shop, and were a very professional bunch. We put on a bit of a spread for them to say thank you, so I guess travelling to and from nice places to eat does have its perks (you never go hungry). The picture above is a scene where one of the celebs tries out one of our iced coffees. Mmmmmm pure heaven!
And so another fun action packed day down at the TEE Coffee Shop, where I get to hang out with a whole manner of great Thai celebs, whom I don't know.
The irony. The programme will be shown in September, will post details ASAP. PS Prize to anyone who can tell me either of the Thai celebs names...
