Bankok Hilton: The Terrible Bangkok Hilton

  • Drug trafficking and drug smuggling are always a bad idea.
    But getting involved in the drug trade in Thailand is the worst possible idea you could ever have. Even the tiniest amount of illegal substances found on your person or luggage may get you in deep trouble with law enforcement. And if you are found guilty of drug-related charges, you will be sentenced to years, if not decades, of harsh prison.
    Your likely destination: Bang Kwang Central Prison, better known as “The Bangkok Hilton”.

      @resileaf9501 7 місяців тому +7

      At this point I'd even say, just... Don't go in any other country if you're on medication at all. It just takes one mistake, or one person who doesn't like you, and you're stuck in prison for who knows how long.

    As a long time subscriber, I really enjoyed this video! Great pacing and the right amount of humor at the right times. Well done!
    I first learned of this prison from American Dad... Didn't know it was a real place. They depicted it much nicer than what reality shows, however.

    I always thought that people caught with drugs were idiots. Until I visited Mexico and was hanging out on a quiet beach in the evening. Some police with guns approached and demanded money. We asked why, they said because we had drugs. We said no we didn’t and they pointed their guns at us and told us that we would have drugs on us if we didn’t give them money. Bit of an eye opener!
