Meet the Peaky Blinders super-fans dressing like Tommy Shelby 8,000 miles from Birmingham in tropical Bangkok

These two Peaky Blinders superfans turn heads with their 1920s outfits - 8,000 miles from Birmingham in tropical Bangkok.

Chitiphat Suwanvicharn, 20, and Intouch Sungkaram, 22, started watching the show a few years ago and became hooked, despite the language and cultural differences to their homes in Thailand.

The pair now dress like Tommy Shelby and sidekick Arthur while they walk around the capital city. They even have the same haircuts as the brothers.

Speaking after a recent get-together for fans - all two of them in the country - they said they dreamed of 'having a gang' and 'riding a horse around the city'.

Chitiphat said: 'I like Peaky Blinders because they had a real gang in the past and the show is really cool. All the members of the gang have a good signature style.

'I like it when we walk down the street and people look at us.'

Chitiphat, who is from Bangkok and Intouch who is from Chumphon in the south of the country, both have TikTok accounts where they post videos of them in costume. They wear the clothes in their day-to-day life attending university.

The wanna-be 'Blinders' hope that with the roaring popularity of the hit BBC show, more locals will join their fan club and go out with them at meetups.

Intouch added: 'The characters are so cool, so handsome. It would be nice if there are more fans of Peaky Blinders who could join us.'

The final series of Peaky Blinders aired earlier this year with a dramatic twist that saw Tommy duped by Oswald Mosley and his doctor with a fake virus he believed would kill him - mirroring the real-life Covid-19 pandemic that was sweeping the country during the filming of the show, in which people placed their trust in science.

Tommy then emerged from his caravan to watch his previous life burn - setting up a potentially explosive spin-off special.
