Westerners in Thai Jails.

[NoshowJones]

Anyone ever been put in a Thai jail, or been up in front of a Thai judge. If so, what was the experience like?

[Costas2008]

For me, being put in front of my wife for the past 7 years, it's much worst than any Thai Jail or Thai judge.

Feel sorry for me, Possum, feel sorry for another human being suffering...............

I think you should tell us more about your wife Costas, if only to warn some TV posters who are thinking of getting married.

[Costas2008]

Possum, I did tell everybody about the wife some time ago.......

Don't really know why people still getting married

Yes, but I did not know it was as bad as that, anyway, I don't believe you about your wife.

[NoshowJones]

This was supposed to be serious, I should have known nobody is going to admit to being in jail, may a Mod will come along and move this topic to the Pub Forum.

[Mario2008]

There whole books written by foreigners who spent years in a Thai jail. Seems they confirm it is in Bangkok, but nothing like the Hilton.

[Morakot]

Try to use the search function. There were lengthy threads in the past that detailed people's experience with the Thai justice system.

Hope you're OK.

Edit: Here is one for starters: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/621982-prison-stories/

Costas.

Naughty boy !!! you have a lovely wife. I know i have met her and you.

You are a lucky man .I hope TV members understand that you are joking when you speak about her.

I have now done that, quite interesting, thanks.

[colinneil]

I will admit to being in a Thai jail.

Yes got you thinking, but it is true. Buriram 4 years ago.

Inside no problem treated with the greatest of respect by jailers and prisoners, lucky i good friend (tv member)bailed me out after only 4 days.

[Sirpia]

What does the OP think the experience would be like?

[NoshowJones]

Costas.

Colin, I would think it would be better to hope that Costas's wife does not have access to his computer and does not read English.

I have been jailed in Lumpini and On Nut police stations on two separate occasions. The former for working without a work permit (not my fault, boss wouldn't give us work permits after many false promises) and the latter for being drunk and disorderly in my soi, definitely my fault!

I also had to go in front of a judge for the work permit offence which wasn't a very pleasant experience....

[NoshowJones]

No idea, just thought it would be an interesting topic.

I met two English teachers when I went to Savanakhet, neither of them had work permits, it must be widespread.

This was, I thought, quite a well written thread from a month or so back. The author seemed very fair minded but descriptive.

But that's two offences and you're still here - so not all bad.

[Nemesis7]

So many previous writeup on the same toipc available both on hard copy or on net.

[ezzra]

I try to avoid jail as much as possible, as it turned out I'm very allergic to guys name Bubba

trying to fondle me at night and calling me his bi^*h.....

[smotherb]

Leally? You mean you can actually go to jail or before a judge? Why didn't you simply buy your way out?

[NoshowJones]

What does the OP think the experience would be like?

I think it would be terrible, suppose you had a row with someone, you wouldn't need to worry about six Thais backing them up, it would be twenty times that. I don't like Thai food so I would starve to death.

Being tall, I would probably have no room to sleep. No, I would never survive a Thai prison.

Costas,,If,,I said IF that is remotely true what you are saying WHY are you still living with your not so beloved wife ?

"...if only to warn some TV posters who are thinking of getting married."

And potential Thai wives who think it's going to be easy sledding.

Cos she got the collar round my neck and can't get away......pulling me around wherever she goes

Hope you are feeling sorry for me also as possum does.

Ahhhhh, forgot to tell you......she's wearing the trousers.......I can only wear the Greek skirts.

[ATF]

Spent a few afternoons in jail for punch ups. The last time they couldn't let me out quick enough because I was explaining to the Burmese in Thai that they could claim political asylum in Thailand.

Won every case before a judge. 100% record.

Life is a choice Costas, it's either you find a way out or work something out with your wife that won't make you feel like you're in a leash;)

[CharlieH]

Not the regular thai jail but the IDC described here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/780211-my-experience-at-idc-for-overstaying/

Don't like Thai food? Good lord, what is wrong with you? What do you eat in Thailand?

Have you tried a good Thai chef..... Crazy........best part of Thailand is the food, surely you didn't come for the traffic jams or filthy waterways.
