Visit A Thai Jail

[Foexie]

Hi everybody,

i have a big problem. My thai girlfriend who i know for over 1.5y is been put in jail in Bangkok.

Her family tells me only family can visit her. And they are not very helpfull because they are angry at me i didn't pay the fine for the court.

But she asked me, and i promised her, not to leave her alone.

Can anybody inhere tell me how and what i need to do to go visit her in jail.

Best regards, Foexie

[Scully]

I visited a jail in Udon Thani and wasn't a family member, just turned up filled in a form and went in to visit.

I was with the prisoners family though.

[AyG]

I can't answer your question, but you mind find some useful information at http://www.thaiprisonlife.com/gor/visiting-gor-in-klong-dan-prison/

It also might help if you name the prison concerned since standards differ between institutions.

[Foexie]

Scully and AyG,

thx for your answer.

Ayg, i did see that website but i had the impression it was for foreigners who visited other foreigners in jail. That's why i didn't pay so much attention at it.

I wish right now i already could give you the name of the prisson. But as i say her family isn't helpfull and angry at me so i still need to find it out.

If this will take to long i think i will try to contact somebody from the police or even an PI to find out.

Anyway thx already for your kind help.

Best regards, Foexie

Girlfriend for year and a half,you didn't help with the fine after court.

No wonder the family is pissed with you.

Don't think much chance of a visit,unless family or lawyer assists you

A bit unfair dont you think? since you do not know circumstance of her arrest and do not know finacial status of OP

Hedghog,

You don't know me so you have no right to speak about the money i not send at her now.

But i'm quite sure i already gave her and her family more money then you would ever have done.

You should be able to find out the prison, maybe one of her friends might know. You can also visit her, even if you have to slip someone a few crisp notes to get in.

Good luck in your search

[Dancealot]

Dont leave her alone then as you promised.

Go to the jail. Dont bring any mobile(including your own). Bring the money. Bring a thai translator. Talk to the guards . Try to meet her.

Personally I'd be more concerned about my girlfriend being in this pickle in the first instance,it's hardly something I look for in a G/F,previous or underlying convictions.

Not for me thanks.

[Hedghog]

Can't fault the bragging rights.

She's not an ex bar girl.

She's an ex convict

[Hedghog]

Foexie.

You're definitely right about giving money to the family.

Haven't given diddly squat and proud of it.

[Foexie]

Beano,

thx for your reply. I don't know much of her friends.I know she have one best friend and she moved and works in Japan now. But i already sended her an email to talk with her family and tell me more. I still wait for her reply.

Last week my gf told me she asked her brother to keep in contact with me. His english is bad. I can only send him easy texts what takes long time for him to understand. I try to talk with him on the phone before but it's useless and he always gave the phone back to my gf because we don't understand eachother.

Beano and Dancealot,

Thx for your support. I do my best to find out where she is and i will definatly try to visit her when i found her. I will take a lawyer for sure and the crispy things.

I also just got an reply on my text. Seems that my gf already told him to tell me that she don't want me to send money. Accually this already started the first weeks i know her. Her warning me for her greedy family and never give them money. Because they would ask for more and more. I guess that's the reason why they are angry at me now because i didn't send them more money.

Hedghog,

fyi i don't know if she is in jail or not. But until now i never caught her on a lie. That's why i try to find it out. But beeing away 11000 kms from Thailand doesn't make it easy. And if you speak a tiny Thai and the rest doesn't speak english it will get almost impossible.

i already looked here on the website what kind of replies you give at peoples. Most of them are always in the same style as these you give at me. And for some reason i think i already did see you on other websites using different names giving same kinda answers as what you give inhere.

So if you can't be any helpfull please don't bother anymore to reply on any message inhere and use the time just to get a drink somewhere.

Best regards to all.

She will most likely be in Klong Prem, Lard Yao. It's easy. You don't need a lawyer and anyone can visit. When you enter the prison grounds follow the road round to the left, that will take you to the women's prison. You'll see a waiting area on your right. You then have to go to one of the windows and give the name (full name) of the person you wish to visit. Then you will have to listen out for her name to be called. When you hear her name follow the rest of the people to the visiting area. You can take a phone but you have to put it in a locker before your visit. Also make sure and get her room number that way you can buy food and deposit money into her prison account.

Visits last 20 minutes. You can visit every week day except holidays.

Foexie, if you still love her, you have to keep sending the family money. You wrote she warned you not to send money and you stopped. Are you sure you understood her?

No, she'll be fine. The girl I was visiting never had any problems.

[Foexie]

Dancealot,

i'm very sure i did understand her very well. She told me this more then once. But i didn't stop sending her money. I only not want to send money to her family directly. Last week i did send her 30000 bht for her to get a lawyer. But she refused my offer and told me better to safe the money because it wasn't enough for paying the court.

I accualy did send her and then she told me she will use it for paying bills for family while she is in jail.

As far i know she have never give any of my money at her family. She only used it for pay bills, insurance or buy food. If she needed something for her self she always asked me if she could use some money.

Last year when i did meet my gf i visited her house in Patum Thani. She lived there with her brother and they had a small business and she also had a job.

As you know last year in october there was a big fload and she lost everything in the water. i know this was true because i have seen movies on the internet from her area and my friends Thai wife also lived there and confirmed it. Only thing she could save was some clothes and a damaged car. She also had a job in one of the companies in the area so she lost her job too. The company she did work for didn't open anymore and moved to Cambodja or Vietnam.

So without work i knew i need to help her to help her family. So i did. And when they impounded one of her cars because she couldn't pay her loans anymore i payed that bill too. For proof she did make somebody scan and send me the papers from the bank what i did gave to my friends wife to read because they were in Thai.

So normaly this year i would go back to see her but unfortunatly my mom get terminal sick and i needed to take of her for 3 months. So i needed my money now for myself and my mom. Honnestly now there wasn't enough money anymore to pay for this extra bill so i couldn't help her. Even sell my house was not an option because it takes up to 3 months before the buyer have to pay the bank and i will get my money.

So what options do i have then try to get her out of jail asap and find a way to pay for everything per month. That's why i am doing all this. And also because i know life in prison isn't as good as beeing in prison as f.e. here in Belgium.

[harrry]

You may want to consider if you were close to her that she does need money for food and medicine. No one can survive on what they get in jail. My family has a relative in jail here and his father sends him 2000 baht a month and his mother's family send the same. On that he can live but less would be a struggle. THere are ways of sending money to her prison account through the post office. Although I have little sympathy for him going to jail as he deserved to he should still get enough for basic survival.

No disrespect but this relationship sounds very ominous given what you describe,it all seems so cloak and dagger,can I ask did you conduct your relationships like this in the west ?

Do you actually spend anytime here in Thailand,Internet videos and scanned receipts IMHO are not what I call grounds for a serious relationship,sorry if I am doubting you and your G/F but I've heard many tales of woe in my time.

Hi Toley,

i don't know how it is called but what happened was this:

My gf did work for a compagny for about 3 months. During this time she already had a few fights with an senior employer ( her boss). For doing her job better she installed a program, what she did use in school and work before,on the companies computer but without license. The bosses knew that but never did anything about it.

When she did wanna quite her job problems started. The senior boss started to give her a more bad time and at the last they everything escalated . They called the police and told them about what she did. The police took this very serious and charged her from, i think, using of illegal software. After she got a claim of the company of 240000bht what she needed to pay to invoid a visit at the court. Because we couldn't pay that amount she had no choice to go to the court . That is all i know. My gf expectec to be inside jail for about 800 days. She told me she thinks that 1 day in jail is worth 300bht.

But i can't speak with her family so i still don't know what the court said.

[Foexie]

Hi Stoneboy,

i think you did read to fast.

I told you i did go visit her house in Patum Thani and see her business. And i also told you that the house of my friends wife, what was a few kms away from her house also have been in the water. My gfs house was in the area of dreamworld what has been floaded complatly. And she also did send me pics of her damaged car.

In the past she did send me more scans of papers she did want to show me . And my friends why always told me those scans are proving what she tells me.

So honestly i still have no doubts about her honesty. And if my mom didn not get sick i would have go back to meet her and we already arranged to meet her family and parents.

greetings

[barefoot1988]

im not sure about the female prison but from my experience on male prison, just fill up a form, visit her.

also, deposit some money to her jail account, so she could just money to buy food, some daily stuff etc will make her life alot easier.

Good luck with your quest, Foexie. It's tough wanting to help but being so far away and out of the picture. And, you don't know the details of what your GF did to get herself in jail.

Girlfriend for year and a half,you didn't help with the fine after court.

No wonder the family is pissed with you.

Why would a BF of only 1.5 years have to help, as opposed to her blood family?

Don't think much chance of a visit,unless family or lawyer assists you

Nonsense.

It is extremely easy to visit prisoners here, anybody can do it. Once he knows what prison it is.

It is really just a matter of him driving to a female's prison with her ID information, trying to book a visit, if she is not there then play dumb and ask what prison she is being held at, they will most likely tell you.
