Bangkok Hard Time

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Bangkok Hard Time

Post by bittermelon »

Just finished this book by Jon Cole. While prison in Bangkok certainly doesn't sound like a picnic it's conserably milder than in a number of other books I have read on the subject. Perhaps its got since the 80's. Of particular note was his claim that U.S prisoners were given 100$ per month by their embassy. Doesn't really fit with what I read on this forum about treatment of expats by their embassy. Perhaps this has changed too.
