I've got many stories like this. So many short term thinkers arriving daily
Well done for putting in the effort to polish your skills so you can tell the story without cuts between every sentence. That trend is ruining a lot of TH-cam channels these days.
Thanks a lot, with storytelling you gotta try and do them in one take, or be very good at editing so it sounds like that!
Back in the day early 1990s, I used to drink at a well-known bar on Sukhumvit 11. A regular German boozer ( call him Fritz) there had a rich daddy. Daddy's went bust so Fritz started to smuggle drugs into Thailand with his Thai girl. She got busted on a drug run and in order for her not to get the death penalty he admitted to owning half the haul so that her sentence was reduced to life. He got life too and is probably still in Bang Kwang. I admire him for saving her life. He was a decent bloke who just did not know how to et a proper job. Thanks for telling this story about Chris.
The lucky thing for chris is that he served time in britain and not in thailand.
That's for sure.
So He Went Muslim? hahaha
@@brucegrant9964 Going Muslim is the new thing in British prisons for serial killers like cowardly scumbag Levi Bellfield.
Why did the woman try to smuggle glucose?
@@arielallerhand3389someone is on a diet 😮
It was very entertaining and I really like the excellent quality of the editing, mixing scenes from Bangkok, Pattaya and London in the 90's...Looking forward to your next chapter!
Dont think he deserved to get a 13 stretch ...hes just like a lot of other young "over inflated ego" blokes but fckd up !
If hed handed himself in when it happened he'd be doing half that time 🤷
Bloody good story, enjoyed it. Happy with that ending too. Thanks for sharing the story Pat 👍
Cheers Ricky
Wow, this story makes me feel like a timid old fuddy duddy! I been back and forth between the US and Thailand quite a bit in the last 25 years, but I can tell that the best arrangement is for me to make my money in USD and then go spend it as THB. I am not an investor, and the last thing I want to do is owe money to a Thai lawyer!
Remember when the BHT was 45 to the USD in 04-05'?. That was my 1st time in Thailand. Best experience I ever had. Looking to get back there soon!.
@@mrdm1967ify I first came to Thailand in early 2004 and indeed, the exchange was great at that time.
Lol...a lawyer introduced him into drug smuggling, that's hilarious. Nice one Pat. I enjoyed the vid
This country can also be as bent as the UK is...
Great story Pat, unfortunately young men often make stupid mistakes and the consequences can be life changing. Hopefully someone will see this and stop and think before they to do something stupid and ruin their life.
Borders are tighter these days and Chris wouldn't get away with all that in 2023.
Nice comment reveals a lot about you 🙏
Many bad dudes I knew of back home escaped their life and came to South East Asia. Some apparently on fake passports. Never argue with anyone here, farang or local. Responsible and respectful thing to do but also self-preservation. They're are a lot of connected Westerners in Thailand. You never know who the guy seated next to you is. Even in small northern villages staying low.
So true you never know who you are the company of,as they say (i gave him an offer he could not refuse) heavy men get old,but still have the power to pull many strings,beware of the old frail man in the corner of the bar😊
Encountered more than a few staying low. My hunch is they also have no visa. Too bad bounty hunting is not allowed here. I would be rich!

Very well narrated Pat...enjoyed it very much, better than reading a book..well done.
Thanks Pat for sharing a great story, and for creating such an awesome video to tell it!
This was very enjoyable indeed! Having been down the same road when I was in my late 20's into my early 30's (minus the drug smuggling and running from the law), it's all too common to meet other young Thailand based farang that think they can just swoop on in to magically become a bar/nightclub owner with their 'trusted Thai business partner'. Things more often than not don't go to plan! Great video mate.
Messed up way to make moneyv
Great story Pat! Looking forward to the next one!
Aaa. very well put and done here Pat.Thanks
Messy life
He just spoiled his life. So strange how people live their lives carelessly.
Love Thailand.
Love Thai girls
But anywhere you go there are bad people in the community.
Tkx for sharing the story.
P.S as soon as you put drugs in your system😢😢😢 your not 'YOU' anymore.
Stay away from drugs. Life is good specially in Thailand ❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍺🍺🍺🍺
Great story telling Pat. You're really good at this this. Pls do more.
Great story Pat. I like the way you tell it with pictures and videos.
Interesting story, very well told. Nice one Pat
That was very entertaining. Great story!
Excellent story and well told. Thank you!
You are a very polished and professional storyteller who understands using the latest video bells and whistles. Based on so many other channels I've seen and their sub counts, you deserve at least 10 times as many subs as you have today. Great luck in growing the channel...
Thank you, l can only do my best but people like the walking faces type videos more than my long boring ones🥳🥳🥳
@@BangkokPatI prefer your style of videos, you have great storytelling abilities, I will keep watching.
Great vlog, Pat. I'm glad he had his days behind bars for a long time.I love your vlogs when you have the cats in the background or playing with them.
Thank you! 😊 The cats demand it so l gotta comply ,😻
Enjoyed it, good story and well told.
That was brilliant! Thanks Pat
Thanks Pat, interesting listen indeed. Cheers. 🙏
Good story Pat. Thanks

Great storytelling is a rare ability. As we all tell stories, it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint why storytelling is a difficult art to master. Pat has told this true crime story well with all of its twist and turns, and edgy, dodgy characters. The key is to involve the viewer/listener/reader in the story. Pat does this exceptionally well.
With this video Pat joins the noir crime storytellers in Thailand and elsewhere. I look forward to watching future stories set in Thailand unfold in Pat's capable hands.
More to come Chris!😎
Thanks for the story.
Great story, thanks Pat.
Enjoyed it Pat - well put together.
Cheers Rob 😎

Brilliant story and well told. Thx.
Great Vid Pat, Cheers
Thanks very much mate 😍
Well, it appears that the character Chris has finally achieved a profound sense of solace and harmony, which is undoubtedly something that every individual yearns for. One intriguing observation I have made about people is that those who have ventured outside their comfort zones and immersed themselves in foreign lands have truly delved into the very core of existence. The transformation from the bustling streets of Croydon to the vibrant tapestry of Bangkok must have undoubtedly been an extraordinary odyssey. So, I encourage Chris to embrace life with both longevity and exhilaration, making the most of every fleeting moment. Btw, in Thailand now there are intensive consultations with their authorities and the British Foreign Office regarding individuals fleeing justice in Europe. The days of the past are a thing of the past. I must say though that the advent of more British tourists visiting has resulted in heavier workloads and headaches for the consular section lads from King Charlie Street. or as a Croydon lad might say..." The old Kent road ain't wot it used ta be"😉
Good story and well said!!
Great story Pat.
Mental story Pat had me gripped.
Great vid…..I’ve heard similar stories in my many visits
Fact is when u run ur life in wrong lane, u will 100% meet an accident. Thailand is heaven for so many people, who is living good life n even lavish life with proper business.
Great story ,there must be hundreds of these and it reminded me of billy Moore story
Top man Pat. Keep up the good work
Thanks David.
Interesting story and I definitely agree about the books, very underrated writer that most, unfortunately, have never heard of. Cheers Pat :)
A classic tale well told.
Cheers John 🐱
Enjoyed listening to the story Pat, somewhat a change in pace from your usual videos, kept me interested to the very end.
Glad to hear that Brian.
Excellent 🙏🏼
Yeah i enjoyed that story. Thanks
Thanks John 🐱
Fantastic video, Pat - probably my favourite so far. Love these kinds of stories - Banged Up Abroad is one of my favourite TV shows and there is usually at least one episode in each series set in Thailand.
That was a fantastic series, is it still going? I gotta catch up on some of those old ones.
@@BangkokPat There are a few series on Disney+
thanks. like this one.
Great story.
Always done with so much effort than others do.
Cheers Joey
Fantastic story
Really enjoyed the story,Please do some more 👌
Great story BP. I was glued to the tv. Epic. I love stories like this.
Thanks Dolph, glad you enjoyed it mate.
Never seen your content before. This is excellent. Looking forward to your next video.
Cheers and thank you😍
Quite the story there Pat. You had me feeling a little anxious a couple of times 😅. Several parts of that story have happened to countless Farangs over the years.
It's more common than people think. Not every story makes google!
Pat - nice video, very interesting & wild story. I am glad he got caught. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent, time for story time , love sweaty, dodgie tales!😀
"So much for the golden future, he can't even start. He had every promise broken, there's anger in his heart. You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue. If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing. Breaking the law, breaking the law, breaking the law, breaking the law"
Good track, lyrics don't quite fit but Judas Priest would be delighted anyway!
Brilliant video thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊 Cheers James.
Good video really good story 👍😎
that was great pat
Ya know what Pat? I am addicted to your videos. Started watching your back catalogue of brilliantly researched and informative episodes since last week and must have watched 50 of them now. Your knowledge of Bangkok and the way you deliver each subject you're discussing is far beyond anything i have witnessed on TH-cam so far. If you have any free time in October/November I am visiting the Mrs in Chiang Mai. You are more than welcome to come up and be our guests or you can come next year once we move into our own gaff. I will show you round what i believe to be my city and then you will show me how much you know it much better than me. Keep up the good work man, so glad i stumbled across your documentaries. They are seriously fascinating to listen to. And this story was no exception. You should write a novel mate. 😊
Thanks for the kind words and glad you're catching up on the videos mate. I don't know Chiang Mai well, only from videos by Chai Travel and Bill's Unseen in Thailand channel! Was there last in 2001!!
Pat, you create a nice video about this story. Excellent story telling. 🙏
Thanks Gert, glad you liked it. I must do more stories.
Enjoyed thoroughly

Cheers Jimmy!
