....posing significant risks for unsuspecting travellers.

 

Operating both in Thailand and the UK, these gangs target prospective tourists by promising all-expenses-paid holidays, complete with stays in luxurious resorts, unlimited alcohol, and sometimes drugs, in return for transporting illicit drugs.

Great news as it looks there will be new episodes of Banged up abroad in the near future.  

You'll have to wait a few years as Banged Up episodes always include the part where the protagonist, full of regret at his/ her stupid past actions, has got back to Blighty post release.

Offers can be tempting, with promises of visiting idyllic locations and monetary bonuses of up to £2,000, provided tourists agree to smuggle packages back to the UK or onward to other destinations.

Can't do the time, don't do the crime.

I've noticed a fair few British tiktokers have vanished from Thailand. It was clear what was going on come to think of it.
