Over a million Australians travel overseas every year. The Embassy takes us to the front line as our diplomats serve to keep us safe and out of trouble in stunning holiday locations across Asia. Join our diplomats in Thailand, Vietnam and Laos as they respond to major catastrophes, hilarious escapades, devastating accidents, love gone wrong and everything in between.

Luis Salinas, the new ambassador to Thailand, who knows he’s going to get his hands dirty in the next four years – if he makes it that long. He’s accompanied by his wife, Claudia, and their daughter Ester. Aware that the familiar constellation of life in the embassy is about to change radically, the staff gear up in nervous anticipation. Life does change, but in a way that Luis would never have imagined it. He must not only cope with the chaos and corruption he was expecting, but also with the implosion of his family life, as Claudia and Ester become involved in affairs that might seriously damage relations between Spain and Thailand. Will the glamorous, globe-trotting diplomatic life swallow up Luis or will he continue to fight for integrity and morals?
