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

    I visited GGJ in Bank Kwang about 15 years back and met up with him in London in December 17.
    He was not to well but had his sense of humour and incredible memory. No bitterness, had plans for the future and great company over a beer. I'd like to think he enjoyed his little bit of freedom.

    Garry, Garry. It's a shock that I read now ( March 25, 2020 ) that you have passed away in 2018  ) The years we had in Bangkok Hilton and the discussions we had about the UK government. They did really nothing for real people, the same as the Dutch.

    The last time I had a conversation by phone with Garry, July  23, 2017.
    and never he sees his family in Thailand after   2017.
    Rien from the Netherlands

    I knew Gary from an establishment that he visited on his return to the UK. He was an extremely interesting man with an amazing and dreadful story to tell. He planned on publishing his memoirs upon release, I don't know if he did. I was privileged to see some of his original photos and documentation of the horrors he had survived. RIP.

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
