Channel 5 has ordered a new, three-part travel doc that sees Sue Perkins explore three regions of Thailand.

Sue Perkins: Lost in Thailand is from production company Coming Up Roses and follows the presenter as she travels from Chiang Mai to the island of Phuket and then onto the capital, Bangkok.

The 3 x 60’ was commissioned by Adrian Padmore (commissioning editor, non-scripted UK Originals, Channel 5 & Paramount+); the producer is Jess Ives and the series producer Grace Kitto, both for Coming Up Roses.

Jason Holmes directs; Oliver Wright exec produces.

Wright, creative director, Coming Up Roses, said: “We are very proud of this series. Sue is quite wonderful in it, engaging passionately with every step of her Thai journey.  She makes us laugh one minute, then cry the next as she explores every element of Thai life, getting to the heart of its incredible landscapes, wildlife and people.”

Perkins added: “I’m thrilled to get another opportunity to explore the world with Channel 5, and Thailand did not disappoint! I took on new challenges, immersed myself in the culture and wandered the wilds of the jungle. But what I love most about travelling is the people you meet along the way, and we met some wonderful people on this adventure. I can’t wait for you to see it!”
