Books For Bangkok Hilton Prisoners

[zen4dummies]

Does anyone have an English speaking contact that we could send used books to? We have quite a few of books (donations from bars and individuals) and would like to send the books to a contact so that we know they are getting to where we want them to go and not winding up in a used bookstore or the trash. Our previous contact was paroled back to the UK and the contacts that he gave us have not responded to our letters.

Any names or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, zen

Do you really think that anyone teaches Thai children English with the help of a book written for an adult reader? Maybe you can come up with a few of those charities but I doubt it. And my term 'adult reader' does not mean porn or X rated.

My post clearly stated that we are looking for an English speaking prisoner to send the books to and did not state that we are specifically looking for pedophiles, drug smugglers and murderers. So maybe a book would fall into the hands of one of those (so what) so the hel_l with everyone else.

Watch out 'ilyelol' may think that you are one of the above and want the books to be sent to you 'here here'. He seems to have a way of interpreting things incorrectly.

I think what you probably meant 'hear, hear' which means that you concur with another persons statement.

Fraudsters?

Scam artists?

Arms dealer?

White slave trader?

Thiefs?

What are adult books anyways? from what i recall from school.. when you turn about 9 you start reading "adult" books.. Im guessing children learning english are about that age.

Yah, yah, yah.

You can have the last word 'ilyelol'. This thread has deteriorated too much.

[ilyelol]

the point of this is to get you to get out and never ask working legit people to send books to people who've ruined lives.

your begging in here is the most arrogant thing i have ever read.

Find a better space for this crap. like a rapist convention or a pedophile chatroom... This isnt a site for crooks or crook lovers.

I wouldn`t except and store parcels or packages from anyone I don`t know, especially in Thailand.

Those that do, do so at their own risk.

That's not the point, because the guy is not asking "working legit people" to send anything! He's not asking YOU to do anything. He's looking to get in touch with a prisoner, and he's asking if anyone knows one.

From what I have been reading recently, Drug Smuggling For Dummies (Arabic version) may prove to be a hit with the latest bunch of Iranian inmates.

Sorry cant lay my hands on my spare version right now, but know where to send it when its found.

Drink drivers

Overstayers

Tax Evaders

Alcoholics

Drug Adicts

Mentally ill

There are millions of people we could show contempt to and treat as harshly as we wish - it won't improve them one little bit, and I'm not sure how much good it does us, either.

From what i see here is that the king''s or the dalai lama's concept of compassion does not really have any fans on this board here.

i am aware that american christians generally favour to punish the goodjeesus out of the evildoer but was hoping that at least some of the Europeans had a concept of reintegration.

but even if you do not feel for others ,do you really have to take it out on somebody trying to help?

[JUDAS]

OP asks a question and as usual the holier than thou crowd offers nothing but blah blah. They're are his books and he's free to do whatever he pleases with them. I believe there are a few members who do prison visit, perhaps a forum search may through up a contact?

I've got a soapbox for sale if you like.

[mmh8]

I suggest the works of confucious, Lao Tsu, The golden book by markus aurelius (not sure of spelling), the histories heroditus

Lamai is an absolute. He shows and talks about the best of the best to get you to compromise a little..

There's a difference. People in the bangkok hilton arent small offenders, they're almost all international criminals.

[smokie36]

So much nonsense here. OP maybe you could try contacting the embassies and see if they can help you with a contact so you can send your books.

Zen have you tried this website http://www.phaseloop.com/foreignprisoners/pris-bangkwang.html

It may be out of date, not sure.

W.T.F. is a "White" slave trader? And is that supposed to be any different than any other kind of slave trader?

Iranians don't speak Arabic, they speak Farsi.

Though I guess nobody ever said bigots had to be literate.

Wow.

Sending a few books to a few people in prison is hardly deserving of this vitriol.

Have a beer and calm down.

OP please PM, I have some books for you.

[timpane]

My mail apparently asserted that we are looking for an English talking detainee to drive the publications to and did not state that we are expressly looking for pedophiles, pharmaceutical smugglers and murderers. So perhaps a publication would drop into the hands of one of those (so what) so the hel_l with every individual else.
