Reports of Riots in Bombat and Lat Yao part 2

Following on from my posting earlier questions have been asked of Prisoners Abroad and the British Embassy here in Thailand.

They confirmed in writing that the riots had occurred and that the only British Passport holder involved had been found and visited and deemed safe. He is currently here in Bang Kwang in building D5.

One sad fact to report is that an Italian national died in Bombat. The gentlemans name was Gianni and he died of a heart attack after a round of "Intensive Interrogation" Our thoughts go out to his family. We hope the Italian Government has been made aware.

News has now reached us all about further riots in Lat Yao again this time in May. We have no news on who, what, why nor how but I will update as soon as I get any news.

Be Well All

The Thai King and Lese Majeste

The literary magazine ‘Granta’ published a series of essays, probably in 1998, by noted media commentators expressing their immediate reactions upon hearing the news of Princess Diana’s death in a car crash. As I recall, many of the articles were suspicious of the British Queen’s possible involvement in the accident. The writers expressed that their initial reactions ranged from “a fortuitous event for the monarch” to; to my own personal favourite; “did the Queen fix her brakes?” In the UK and many other countries, we have the freedom to criticise our leaders. For the most part, those occupying privileged positions are not protected from public censure, freedom of thought and the ability to voice those thoughts is considered to be an essential human right. Not so in Thailand. Sixty three years after the murder of his brother, Rama VIII behind closed doors in the palace where the only other occupant of the room was the present incumbent, any free discussion, albeit in private, as to the

One of the 'Cleanest' Kodaks of the "Big Tiger" I have ever come across. Looks almost totally benign, don't it? Weel the following lads, most of whom I associated with between 2002 to 2011. DO NOT think so!    A parade of prisoners arriving at court. Note that they're Bare Footed. Hi everyone, I've been concerned that many of the Kodaks that have either been sent to me, or, since my being Kicked out of the HMP Prison System, I've managed to find for myself, have either been confiscated by areseholes from the HMP System - principally Shirley Butcher  of OMU HMP Dartmoor, or other sundry screws who refuse to accept the truth about; themselves, their Government and the possibility of what I've been saying about life in the Hilton can be documented. This is an ongoing Blog entry which acts as a repository for imagery I can source. Periodically I'll be adding new images, and including commentary to those Kodaks . You can

In Memoriam

It is with great regret and sadness that we have to announce that Gary died on October 3rd 2018. He finally left prison in July of 2017 and started a new life in London. It was always his intention to return to his family in Thailand but it was not to be as cancer caught up with him in the end We will miss him and his humour and thoughtfulness. Vita, non memoria abitus Jake and Wanda
