Greg vs Ed vs You: The Great Bangkok Podcast Trivia Episode [S6.E56]

This week Greg and Ed take a page from a regular segment on the
bonus show and challenge each other with some trivia questions,
spanning Thai history, geography, religion, pop culture, and
language. 


The guys begin by trading questions about Thailand's provinces,
Ed with a question about provinces bordering Cambodia, and Greg
with a question about provinces bordering Bangkok. Next is
language, with Ed bringing up the source of Thai script and Greg
coincidentally asking about the discovery of the stone upon which
the script was found.


When it comes to history, Ed turns to the famous Victory
Monument, and Greg nails that it commemorates Thailand's victory
over the French in a brief war in Laos. Greg instead stumps Ed
with a question he should have known about the history of
Thonburi. In response, Ed asks Greg about the most important
Buddhist holiday, Visakha Bucha Day, and Greg retaliates with a
question about the temptations the Buddha faced under the Bodhi
tree. Last but not least, Ed asks a pop culture question about
the movie 'Suriyothai,' and Greg turns to the popular Miss
Universe pageant to close out the show.
