tracker1 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Are these the same authorities that could't find any prostitutes as well in club raids in town ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Interesting comments above- not one that I recognise as being from a Phuket poster. If one lived here and was actually au fait with the prison one would be aware that the Prison Gov has a good reputation for running the place and can rightly be proud of his 'white' status. He is seen as progressive and manages to keep the lid on what is a vastly overcrowded facility- he well deserves any praise that is forthcoming. Far easier to knock the report though I guess. OK other authorities used it as a PR opportunity but that happens everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny2017 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 No drugs were found in the search at Phuket Prison yesterday evening because they were informed of the raid to gain such a great reputation. Many Thai citizens and foreigners are on the white waiting list. (Mar 29). Photo: PR Dept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being suspicious of claims made by Thai officials is understandable given their history of ludicrous comments generally made to protect their unusual wealth or the wealth of those above them. I lived in Phuket for 1 1/2 years and thankfully did not experience the prison system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
