LatestFor Road Trippers VIPS, three teams of Dutch celebrities are dropped off in a remote Thai village. They receive a small allowance, just €50, and must travel as far as possible from the starting point within fourteen days. Along the way, they must be resourceful enough to earn money, for example, by washing dishes or working the land. They also have to arrange their own transportation, for example, by scooter, tuk-tuk, or hitchhiking. Luxury hotels are also out of the question, so this journey requires a lot of perseverance. After two weeks, we'll see which team has traveled the furthest from the starting point. That team wins.
Production
Thai countryside looks gorgeous; celebs look increasingly destroyed.
Writing
Voice-over Frank Lammers delivers gloriously petty narration.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The €50 premise is brutal Dutch minimalism—no safety net, no producers saving you from sleeping in a ditch.
Thailand's rural economy becomes the real star; locals often outshine the celebrities in grace and hustle.
