Locked up in Thailand: The Harsh Reality For British Prisoners in Thai Prisons
I interview Matthew from Prisoners Abroad, a charity dedicated to supporting British citizens imprisoned overseas. In this insightful conversation, Matthew discusses the most common crimes that lead to British citizens being incarcerated in Thailand. He also paints a vivid picture of the harsh and often inhumane conditions within Thai prisons, highlighting the physical and psychological challenges faced by inmates. Moreover, Matthew delves into the critical work that Prisoners Abroad does to support these individuals, ensuring basic human rights are upheld to offering emotional support and helping with reintegration after release. This interview offers a rare glimpse into the intersection of crime, punishment, and humanitarian aid, revealing the essential role of organisations like Prisoners Abroad in advocating for vulnerable populations. #lockedupabroad #thaiprison #bangedupabroad

    Many thugs came to Thailand thinking they can act tough here but many were rehabilitated by the Thai gangsters .They got to know what gangsterism actually means here in Thailand. Some of the so call thugs has become a kitten they're so nice and quite cause they know if they miss behave here we the Thai gangsters have the exact remedy for it.อย่าบอกฉันว่าฉันไม่ได้เตือน. 👊

    It's always going to be hard to substantiate a sweeping generalisation like the one used for the title of this video. From watching the interview it appears that she's directing her bitterness about being unsuccessful in obtaining a long term partner at those that can. In a country where there are so many beautiful women, and most importantly, so many women with a completely different perspective to hers about the role of a woman in a relationship with a man, it's amusing how she fails to understand why she hasn't been able to find love in Thailand. "I don't need a man," she says. " _Perhaps_ Thai women are less demanding than Western women," she also says. The ultimate irony here is that she seems completely oblivious to the reasons why she is struggling to find love in Thailand and one of the main reasons why many Western men prefer Asian women to Western women. There are generations of Western women who are going to end up alone and unhappy because of the feminist indoctrination they've had and it looks as if she'll be one of them. If Western men are so bad maybe she ought to start dating Thai men and then she can tell us about her experiences with that.

    She has a solid reason for moving to Thailand, freedom is numero uno, she could have stayed in the West with a greater possibility of meeting a beta man but as the years go by certainly her options will and have significantly reduced. I believe she really doesn't mind staying single

    I've watched this guy's videos and they resonate with me because I live in rural Thailand too and have really struggled with it at times. I understand what he says about life in Thailand but he doesn't present a convincing argument or substantiate what he has to say about life in Thailand very well. If he left the UK at the age of 17 then I can't see how he understands much about that country either and his opinions about it aren't based on his own experiences there as an adult.

    People talking in the comments as if the West doesn't experience financial similar situations. To pull from an experience of mine, one of my Uncle’s had stole cash direct from my Nan’s bank account for years before she died, he also had her sign a new Will before her death writing in him as the direct beneficiary. He had my Mum and other Uncle removed from the Will entirely, entitling him to my Nan’s house and remaining assets. The West is far far worse than other countries but of course it will happen even in the land of smiles, the reasoning for such an occurrence spoken about in this video would have been done moreso as a response to their poverty concern other than direct greed. I've heard there are two expats camps in Thailand, one camp complains about everything imaginable, yet they stay, no doubt they would complain wherever they are, reading some of this videos comments absolutely reconfirms this. The other camp feel blessed to be in Thailand and appreciate all the benefits which far out way the cons. I hope never to meet the majority of people in this comment section once I move, very sad for these individuals to live with such a toxic/horrible perspective, my message to this camp is to please, leave Thailand asap, Thailand doesn’t need or want you!

    Jesus, Almighty God 🙏 loves ❤ you more than you could possibly comprehend! He died for your sins, my sins and the sins of the world. Jesus stands with His arms opened wide, hoping and willing to heal, forgive, cleanse, strengthen and purify us. He is waiting to receive you with all love! He deeply desires a personal relationship with each and every one of us! RELATIONSHIP NOT RELIGION! Draw near to God and He will draw near to you, there is no repentance in the grave: There is no conversion after the last breath is drawn. Now is the time to believe in Christ and to lay hold of eternal life (J C Ryle). God has revealed Himself to us in the glory of creation, in the perfection of the written word and in personal experience of all who seek Him. Prayer 🙏 is giving our attention to God in a two-way Spiritual relationship where we talk to God and also listen to Him, you can pray 🙏 to God, through Jesus in the privacy of your own home (pray from your heart). God speaks to your heart because He loves you and wants to interact with you. So often we don't wait for God to speak after we've finished laying down our requests. Sadly, we don't watch for God to act in our lives. Did you know that God speaks to us through the Bible? The Holy scriptures Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, given by divine inspiration through holy men of God who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The gift of the Holy Spirit is one of God's greatest gifts to us. Through the Holy Spirit we may know that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ! Scripture is always the voice of God in the general sense that God inspired the words of Scripture (2 Tim 3:16). God can also speak specifically to us through the Bible, by drawing a particular passage to our attention because the Word of God is living and active (Heb 4:12). We can say that it is God's primary way of speaking to us. Any other communication must be based and tested by what is taught in Scripture. The Holy Bible is God's guide for us, so we can reach Him, the only true living God and hear back from Him! Jesus is returning in the not so distant future!

She was allegedly going to hide some ganja in my garden, inform the Police and take them to the 'stash'. I have never smoked in my life.. So the good friend advised that I made a Police report as per the story I have just related. Got it done and never heard another thing! Keep one step ahead if you can!

    Anyone that has been living in Thailand for a few years and had experience of running businesses here will know that the biggest stumbling block with that is often the Thai people themselves. The average Thai is clueless when it comes to business. They couldn't run a tap. As an expat in Thailand and therefore a guest I try not to be critical of the Thais because they have so many endearing qualities, but a Thai with good business acumen and a diligent work ethic are a rarity.

    Using the term "loser" does you no favors. Men have many reasons for struggling and come to Thailand to meet women who accept them. Your bias is the elephant in the room. Women in America, are very complicated these days and the bar is super high. So, men aren't losers because they struggle in life and seek happiness in another culture. No therapist would call a struggling man a loser.
