Don't let the misleading name fool you -- Bangkok Hooker may evoke images of the Thailand’s famous red light districts like Patpong, but the newest Discovery Channel show really is about hooking fish. Set to premiere on June 27, at 10 p.m. on Discovery Channel Southeast Asia’s Facebook and YouTube pages, Bangkok Hooker, follows avid angler Oz Chanarat as he experience the “weirdest and wildest fishing adventures Thailand has to offer,” according to a press release. River Monsters first premiered on April 2009 on Animal Planet and featured “extreme angler” and biologist Jeremy Wade as he tried to catch the biggest freshwater fish in the world. The show ran for nine seasons before ending on May 2017 because they had already caught most of the fish on his bucket list.
