Smoking is such a red flag, just like wearing a dress shirt with Levis. He doesn't look comfortable in a tie either. He's probably on a list somewhere.
Lake reminds me of an Adam Yauch character from the Beastie Boys - he has a Sir Stewart Wallace vibe! There was a point in the episode where Louis asks Lawrence and Lake why they think men are more enticed by Thai women over western girls They ponder and discuss this question, with Lake finally concluding that western women want to be men. Lake then says ‘you know when it started?....’ He never finished that sentence and I was devastated, I desperately want to know what he was going to say. The reason that kick started western men wanting to eastern women, according to Lake. As a western woman I feel there is much to learn from Master Lake. We will never know what those pearls of wisdom were.
The matchmaker seems like a fun guy. I mean, in these awkward interactions you probably need to have a sense of humor! These creepy old men always seem to say they want a real connection but they just want a young trophy wife to do their bidding and not talk back. With a language barrier it makes it easier for them to get away with a shitty attitude.

Hi. Thai-English interpreter here. This happens sometimes lol.
Also, props to the interpreter for doing such long consec without even a notepad.
@@LewisCampbellTech I get your point, but it's kinda ironic given that the point of having an interpreter was to avoid resorting to pidgin 😂
He also speaks to Louis in that same broken English lol it's like he can't stop himself
Pure comedy. I like how he spoke for a solid 60 seconds without letting her interpret lol
I tried that pickup in a club the other day but it didn’t work “I have a terraced house in Yarmouth” not sure why?
People are in clubs to get laid, not to get married. Living conditions aren't that relevant in smashing puss or getting puss smashed.
Its Beverly Hills in Thailand.

You didn’t mention the box room mate that’s what gets the chicks wet!!!
It's rented, but it's permanent 😂
This is the greatest 4 minutes of comedy ever produced by the BBC. Lake Palmer is the lovechild of David Brent and Alan Partridge.
This comment 😂
Now you've said it, I can't unsee it! 😆 Brilliant
"Thats put me off now"
Nailed it!
plus a bit of Brick Top!
He didnt give the interpreter a chance to tell her about the box room that could be converted into an office. That would have sealed the deal

The fact that he’s a real person is amazing
The sad part about this is that he is lonely. It is easy to make fun of him but he is right, most people don't want to die alone without being loved and been able to reciprocate that love.
The tragedy is the global gender inequality and patriarchy which prevents women from realising their independent potential.
