sambum Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 How many people would want to see the inside of a Thai prison? I think most people would spend their lives trying to avoid the places having heard of the conditions that the inmates are kept in! Honestly, this smacks of desperation, and the only exception I can think of is if "Boss" had been tried and incarcerated, he could well have become a tourist attraction in his own right - they could even build some stocks and charge the tourists 100 baht a throw!

He has just been released for killing a policeman.......... Shall we go to the the prison restaurant now and have some food, before we go to to the execution chamber?

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I nominate the Immigration Detention Center (IDC) in BKK... Can't think of a better place for Thailand to show off its renowned detention facilities to the rest of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiJoDavO Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 TV is gonna TV again. A year or 2 ago I've visited a place where mostly people work who were about to get out of jail. They learned new skills etc. Which is actually a beautiful and good idea. If you are mocking this idea and in the same time mention that jails here are terrible.... What do you want then? Because nothing is good and everything needs to be complained about. People mocking the tourist idea.... Then you just don't go. And it's not like this is being advertised or something. Who goes specially to Thailand to see this? This is actually a good idea to help prisoners who want to get a fresh start, to get in touch with the world again. I really don't see the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the green light Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 do those people in government think that thailand is so wonderful .No matter how much they want to squeeze from the tourists, they will come begging to enter thailand. I do not believe that the chinese tours would attract any chinese tourist to want to visit the prison unless they offer free food or free lodging in one of the cells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the green light Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 From top to bottom, these people in government are totally incapable to run a country . they hate the farangs but they want to squeeze them and any Thai who disagreewith them. From people demonstrating, bad immigration policies and justices ruling, jobs and not forgeting currencies manipulation. and they are still there in power. they seems to manipulate all situationsto make it rosy and justify being in power. Sooner or later the sleepy giant will wake up. IF the common people are not getting what they need to survive, they will revolt..It has happenned through history and even today in America. that is human nature with no exception on the class structure established. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crutchy26 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Possibly, very possibly, I could have had a free, long-time visit. I had a few drinks at Chaweng Market (Mr Tipsy, iirc). Paid my bill. Got up to leave. A Thai, stops & and asks me: " is this yours, you may have dropped it?" A little deal-bag of green! Waved him off............ methinks a set-up> Cynical?

Gandtee Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Shades of England's Newgate prison back in Dickensian days. Spectators could even throw things to or at the prisoners. Perhaps pineapples, coconuts and durian could be on sale for just that purpose. Oh what sport! Tourists will visit in droves.???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
