DavidMavec Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hello... I am wondering if it is possible to visit Thai prisoners near CM, just to share some company and encouragement. I don't know if this is possible, I heard it could be done in BKK but was wondering about it here. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo the Face Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Not sure about the Thai prisioners, but there are some organizations that do that here for the falang prisioners. Mostly church sponsored. Good luck with your quest and I hope it is possible for you G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Does anyone know if Bob that owned Spanky's is in the local prison? I always meant to visit him, but there was a rumor going around that he had been transfered to America. How about the guy who owned Pickles? Has he gone to court yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from a reliable source that Bob is doing his time here in C.M. I believe he got 8 years. That was a rumor about him going to America. I too, would like to visit him some time. He wasn't a bad guy; only foolish. I don't know the guy from Pickles but I read the charges were dropped against him. Self-defense or something...

Mario2008 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yes, you can visit prisoners. You can contact your embassy for more details about visiting nationals of your own country. There are also some organisations and I have seen some websites with more information about visiting prisoners in Thailand. Do an internet search.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 All nice and good visiting foreigners, but can you visit Thais too? Specifically women inmates? I did that once back when the ladies were still in the old prison, but it was a bit of a zoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's teaching English to the Thai inmates. Doing well I am told. They would not let him return to America. His case was very serious. I am not clear as to the length of his sentence and the guy who visited him isn't either. Thought he may have said 8 years but then he thought that was wrong.

CM4Me Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 A few years back I use to visit a Thai in the male prison. It was not a problem. But I did need the full name of the inmate, and I also had to provide ID (either my Thai drivers licence or my passport). There was always quite some delay, as the inmate had to be notified, and presented. One can also take some food for them which would be subject to search (but best if purchased on site at a shop run by the govenor (or someone else that gets the tea money), or you can make a small cash deposit into the inmates prison account (again run by the establishment) where they can buy goods like food suplements, soap, shampoo, etc.(Oh and to pay off their minders) I am sure the same would apply to the womens prison. To see how they are treated is gut wrenching, but its a great morale boast for them to get a visitor I all can so is GO, and do a good deed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy's rotting away in prison and you don't bother to visit cause you're not sure about a rumor regarding his location?? The guy who owned Pickles was still in jail the last time I dropped in there for a delicious cheese melt. His wife was still running it and closing on Mondays to go visit him. Apparently he had been given some sort of parole or some thing along that line and broke the conditions on it. As I say that was about six months ago and the prison was not easy to get into as it sat on top of a hill and you had to walk up to it. Who knows he may be out now. I would imagine she is still running the place as she was the cook and needs to make money to eat. The food is very good. edit I think his wife said he had a ten year sentence.

Well, to be fair, this is Thailand, not the USA. You can have a little more confidence here that people aren't there just for some money making slave trade kind of spiel, or for officials to appear tough on crime and gain votes that way.

Ulysses G. Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Lots of people who have been in jail for many years have been found to be innocent with the advent of DNA evidence. There are plenty more still inside who can not afford good legal representation to clear their names. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5345.The_Innocent_Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I don't think he is making them there as I said his wife was the cook and was still running pickles. Her's were good if this was a hamburger chain I would rate them in the top two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
