why build a prison on what some would consider prime real estate? 

Turn the old one into a tourist attraction 

A place to put all those evil 2 day farang overstayers - No Thai will ever go there though - they just pay a wai and a 100 baht fine!!

Who's getting the tea money??? We're repeating the same mistakes as America! Lock 'em all up, create a criminal underclass which will affect the next generations to follow. 

Should have been larger. They can't fit all the corrupt police in there!
