Summary
This Globe Trekker video follows Justine Shapiro through Malaysia and Thailand. She starts in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, central to the government's mission to make Malaysia a fully developed nation by 2020. She joins the Orang Astli people on a hunting party, which they prepare for by making poison darts. In Thailand, Justine experiences the chaotic Hindu festival of Thaipusam, visits the tourist destination of in Phuket, enjoys a Thai massage, and motorbikes over to the legendary night-life in Patong where patrons participate unabashedly in the blatant sex trade of the area. Outside Patong is a sanctuary for gibbons, a breed of monkey which are drugged and abused as a form of cheap entertainment. Justine's final adventure is a sea canoe trek back across the bay to Phuket. The Sea Canoe Company is run by eco-warrior John Grey, who fights against the mass tourism destroying the lagoons.
