1. I would like to thank Mr. Polluck for his review of my film, Amazing Thailand. I appreciate the fact that he gave the film three stars.
   
   He pointed out in his review that I mispronounced several Thai names and misidentified a location in Pattaya. In response, there are many ways to pronounce Thai words and I have never heard a Westerner pronounce ANY Thai word the exact same way the Thai's do. I have learned in my ten visits to Thailand that simply making an effort to correctly pronounce the word will put a smile on the face of any Thai.
   
   As for the Walking Street issue, I acknowledge and apologize for this small error. If you look close enough, you will find mistakes in any film, book or article.
   
   Anyway, thanks for reviewing the film and happy traveling!

2. I am Thai and I believe that this documentary (or travel diary) was made from the heart of someone who took extensive efforts to learn and assimilate another culture. At least it was the feeling that I got. Someone made an issue of Thai words being mis-pronounced. The pronounciation was not perfect, but I knew exactly what he was referring to. Getting the correct tone is difficult. However, I do not see it as bad pronounciation, but rather as a testimony to the extent that someone has taken to even pronounce it as good as it was pronounced given that the narrator was not a native Thai speaker. Good job and I wished that people would see the effort as opposed to trying to find imperfections in something so distant from the intent of the film. All world travelers will enjoy the personal approach. If you expected Hollywood, then this may not be for you. This is a film made from the heart for true-hearted travelers.



3. Summer 2006 planning a trip to Thailand we purchased several guidebooks and DVD's. While this DVD was more expensive than some others we purchased it was by far the best. Very informative with nice video segments. I agree with another reviewer that the thai words and titiles were spoken with a terrible accent however it was still an outstanding video. Well worth the price. Our Thailand vacation was an incredible trip. In addition to purchasing guidebooks I suggest reading Wikitravel Thailand on-line for extra travel information.



4. Amazing Thailand is a pretty good resource. We have planned a trip to Tailand and it was useful in deciding where to spend our time.



5. Why pay first rate for a fourth rate production? The video is largely overexposed, and the Thailand that you get to see is basically one trip taken by one person. So, if HE didn't happen to film it on THIS trip, it won't be there. And, of course, no aerial or underwater shots...they take money and talent. A better title would be "How I Spent Your Money Taking A Trip in Some Small Part of Thailand."

2. THIS DVD IS REALLY HOT THAN I THOUGHT BECAUSE THERE IS REALLY HOT GIRLS SHAKING THEIR THANGS.THIS DVD INCLUDES PREFORMANCE BY LUDACRIS FROM AMSTERDAM,TRIP IN THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT(ALSO KNOWN AS AMSTERDAM) WITH LUDACRIS,UNCUT MUSIC VIDEOS,AND MORE!!!!
   MY ADVICE BUY THIS DVD.



3. Ludacris has released his first full length musical DVD. "The Red Light District" DVD features a full length concert from Luda. It also includes some behind the scenes footage from his trip to Amsterdam. Don't expect to find the BET versions of the videos from "The Red Light District" CD or the regular video for "Pimpin All Over The World." The videos on this set are uncut and feature new versions of the videos with very scantilly clad women. Parents consider yourself warned there is some nudity "crotch shots and all" in this set.



4. Yes yes yall! This was a goodie. Luda out there In the dutch capital. Puff puff passin! Kickin It with the fine working girls of amsterdam. Doing It up big. I can't get Into details. But I'll tell ya this "It's da red light district".



5. ...like I do this is just absolutely great. Down in Amsterdam nothing is forbidden, including convos with a madam and her girls, a couple of 'ladies of the evening'and even smoking a giant spliff while you do a song!!

1 comments about Cruise Grand Mediterranean.

1. I was hopeful this video would help us plan a cruise to the Mediterranean next year but it provided nothing more than I got from books on the subject. No real information on the actual ports, how to get transportation to/from the ship, restaurants or shopping in area. This is just like a little travel log of the interesting tourist spots at each stop. Not bad, but clearly not special in any regard. Too bad.
