Bangkok's Dark Side: Justin Dunne on His Creepy "Bangkok Haunt" Tours [S6.E24]

Greg interviews Justin Dunne of 'Bangkok
Haunt,' a tour company in Bangkok that focuses on
Thai ghost stories and their relevant locations. Justin is an old
friend of Greg's and after trading a few stories of the old days,
the guys get into their mutual love of the city of Bangkok but
also their mutual fascination with Thai spirit houses. Justin
explains that his interest in Thai people's supernatural beliefs
led to a study of Thai ghost stories especially as they relate to
the city of Bangkok. Fans of the podcast will already know that
ghost stories are a pillar of Thai culture and history, and all
Thais are familiar with a pantheon of ghosts and their
stories. 


This led Justin to develop a tour of Bangkok that focuses
on these ghost stories. Greg is a bit shocked to learn that the
tour is 9 hours long, but Justin notes that it's both physically
and emotionally taxing, given the 'dark' nature of some of the
stories. In other words, this is NOT a superficial exposure to
Thai ghost culture; go big or go home appears to be the Bangkok
Haunt motto. 


The guys go into details on the breadth of the tour, which
includes ghosts, spirits, and 'dark history,' or locations in
Bangkok where tragedies have occurred. Although not for the faint
of heart, anyone interested in a REAL introduction to a key part
of Thai history and culture should check out Bangkok
Haunt.
