Considering all he has been through, he is a lot more positive than some of us who have lived free lives.
why shouldn't he be positive? He made a huge mistake and is incredibly lucky to be alive let alone free.
Thanks for sharing Shani and Pete👊I too got arrested in the mid 90s in Thailand with drugs, I was slammed in prison, 40 to one cell, 1 toilet, I had my own Thai trial, paid my way out after 5 months…I saw things which severely altered my life and have never been back to what I refer to as a cesspit of smiling assassins😮corruption personified but wow 18 years…mate big respect ✊
so you got caught with drugs in a country that got the death penalty and you crying about being corrupt well lets twist things if it wasnt corrupt you would have still been in prison or even worst killed. corruptions is world wide not just thailand in america also in europe also if you have money you buy ur way out of prison if not u be there. but still my point is be thankful you were in a corrupt country and you might have found the right people to get you out soon. i know people in thailand getting sentenced 30 to 40 years with 5 grams or less so shush and be thankful
Have you ever thought about writing a book?
So, the place is that corrupt that you can buy yourself out of almost any trouble??
I spent 2 nights in jail in Queens. NY. I never want to see that place again in my whole life
Are you a mobster??
Guess you would squeel like guinea pig on your pals 😂😂😂
I love it. You come out of solitary confinement and you tell the guards that was fantastic and therapeutic
when I arrived in thailand at 18, this guy was flying out after serving 18 years in prizon. crazy to think about that.
Great story. Very nice of him to acknowledge the Thai prison system for contributing to the better person he is now.
If he liked it so much go back
@@nicholaslandolina wow imagine him getting caught again and having to walk back into that prison..
Great interview Pete, I love how you let your guest speak without interruption.
Thanks to Shani as well.
I read the book Damage Done by Warren Fellows after my first trip to Thailand over 20 years ago.
Warren was locked up in Thailand for 12 years. Recommended.
Yep. A good read indeed.
Pete in my opinion that is the best interview you have posted so far. What a story so many lessons all wrapped into one story.
This was a riveting interview. I was glued to this video till the end..
@@Rain-xe5vr ??!
It’s Very Good!!💯
You should do a video 10 000 working class Irish families were on the streets today complaining saying the country is full up it’s so sad what’s happening in your country great video
Fought a ferocious struggle for a sovereign nation for centuries...... To surrender it over to the globalists.
I was under the impression that Sinn Féin/IRA and many other republican "Nationalist" organisations were pretty open about their far left , Marxist , Socialist leanings. How can someone be a nationalist and a Marxist ? 🤔....doesn't make sense. Marxism is a global movement, they don't believe in class, national or racial divisions.
The current Ireland today, the multicultural utopia..... Isn't that what the Irish Republican movement wanted ?
We done tbe same stop crying its a new world order get on woth it
Bore off with the anti immigration bile. You know, people used to consider Irish people the invasive species which was deemed too lowly to even be allowed in our pubs. You really want to play that game again?
@@peterpan2487 "new world order", Ha!! .....plz say that's an anti George H Bush joke...?
But in all seriousness brother, yes, you're absolutely correct. Ireland is my ancestral homeland & I'm SO ASHAMED of my people for having allowed all these ch-ild ray-pists onto the beautiful IRISH island....so fkng sad.....
This interview deserves an award. Excellent.
Thought I'd listen to the conversation in multiple parts but was riveted for the whole 90 minutes!
Love it, thanks buddy
@@ThairishTimes Go ✅egan. Poor innocent animals. You don’t want to be in their shoes👈🤥. PIaque forms eating animaIs. PIant-based/vegans don’t have pIaque. ✅♥️💪😬🐒🐵🦧🦍👨🏼👩🏽👍. TH-cam, delicious, ✅egan food
One of the best, if not the best, videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. Powerful story. Thanks
I really appreciate that buddy thank you
Parents tried sending him on holiday to get clean and he saw it as a busines opportunity.
We used to be a real country
"We never get rich by money - only by experience"
Thx for this great interview !!!
Absolutely!
It’s Literally A Miracle that he Lived through all of the inhumane conditions!!
In case you’re wondering I’m just giving you some extra comments to help get this story and your channel out there.
Best interview ever on your channel Pete, Sharni is a man who has acknowledged his mistakes and come out smarter and wiser, credit to him. May you Sharni live for many more years and enjoy what years you have left 👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate, I really enjoyed making this one with Shani
Awesome story but nothing beats T9ny H lol about time did a week bar hopping with him and shaggin lol... bring Back Tony H
Poor innocent animals. You don’t want to be in their shoes 👈🤥 . Longest living people on Earth, are vegan.
PIaque forms eating animals. Plant-based/vegans don’t have pIaque. ✅♥️😬🐒🐵🦧🦍👱🏼♂️👩🏽😉. Buddhist monks most of them are vegan ✅♥️💪😬😉….
@VeganV5912 this is a lie. 🙄 Shortest living humans are vegan. Sub-optimal diet, very malnourished and gut biome destroying.
Wow, what a powerful testimony, as a South African, I take my hat off to this guy! Go strong Alex, and thanks Pete for your awesome and entertaining chanel
Absolutely riveting, I could not stop listening to this interview . It is so interesting and insightful. Brilliant job . Thank you 🙏
Just came across this video and thought I would watch for a few minutes but ended up watching the whole thing in one go. Excellent and riveting interview. They should make a movie out of his story.
Brilliant, glad you enjoyed it
This is why I keep watching your channel Pete. This is as good as it gets. And many thanks to Shani. This interview and his book should be compulsory viewing and reading for all youngsters to oldies. Thanks.
Thanks mate 🙏
I watched a few of your videos now. I must say you are very good. You get a really broad range of interesting guests , who you let tell their stories , asking questions at the right time. It's always a good watch/listen.
I have watched almost all Pete’s videos now…He has always had a talent - he’s authentic and humble and genuinely interested in the topics he covers. He became better and better as an interviewer. He’s so talented - he should be on tv or something.
This was one of the best interviews you have done!
This was a great interview. Thank you to both guys.
Truly inspirational and amazing story on a life redeemed through hard time, reflection and art .. Kudos for organizing this interview Pete!!! 👍👍👍
I have finally watched this, definitely the best interview you have done, well done Pete.
18 years in a Thai prison ,very impressive tough strong human .
Not smart human.
Fascinating, thank you for your testimony 🙏🏻
The lesson guy’s, and girls, is never ever break the laws in Thailand,🇹🇭 period.”very scary 😟 stuff,
Never break the laws anywhere 🤷🏼♂️
this is how it should be in The west ... we're falling into the abyss in The West , once a very safe , clean place but not now , our Govs should take the same ideas as Thailand and we wouldn't have any of the drug related high crimes here which is destroying The west and our young people .
@@user-rb2qw5in7y the north west of Thailand is flooded with yabba coming in from surrounding countries and a lot because officials are in on the transport of it. Throwing the bored, poor youngsters into prison for a 5 years in to inhumane degrading conditions isn't a great endorsement of a great caring society.
@@philm7213 Hi , thank you for your reply , who are the yabba ? thanks .
@@user-rb2qw5in7y Yabba is meth in pill form.
The most interesting interview I have seen so far, well done 👍
Thank you for another wonderful interview
Wow, incredible! Thanks for sharing that. All the best to you two.
Great story Shani thank you for sharing, and thanks Pete for bringing this story to us. Wish you all the best!
Great interview and a fascinating story!
I am REALLY looking forward to listening/watching this episode!
Dude looks pretty good for going through all that. Looks healthy.
@@thomasyoung1588 Yes. I thought the same. He must have his head screwed down tight! NO WAY I would have made it....
TREMENDOUS INTERVIEW.
Thanks ☺️
Genuinely spectacular story and interview. Thanks to you both, and God bless you, Shani.
A very moving and powerful story. Congratulations to you both. I have been living in Bangkok for 31 years - a beautiful and dynamic city - it is so difficult to believe such horrors were happening and are still happening. Shani, your life is an inspiration.
Oh lord, I couldn't imagine living in Thailand

Amazing guy, This is one of the best stories you've had on your channel 👍👍👍
Brilliant interview - well done
Having been a Corrections Officer for 25 years and now living in Thailand. I have found this very interesting.
@@Rain-xe5vrif you did 18 years in a Thai prison you’d be a little off too
👍😂
Being a ex prison officer would you turn your back on him ?
No.
@Rain-xe5vr I thought it was a grat listen with a great message. I don't know why anyone else would think otherwise
Excellent interview and interviewer (you asked all the questions I had. Too surreal how that happened). Liked, subscribed, and rang that bell.
Enjoyed it!
Great interesting interview 👏
awesome interview, wow. watched it all in one go.
Awesome, thank you!
First class interview, what a story! Amazing ...
Great interview👍
Great story, I would love to hear more with the details. I'm definitely interested in reading the book
When he was in the airport and praying to god that if he got through this he would stop.. looks like god answered his prayers
unbelieveable, cheers to freedom Shani.
Wow ...What an amazing story and great storyteller. All this life hardship and suffering turned him into knowledgable & wise man. I wish him all the best and joy in life after all what he has been through. Thank you Thairish times for the great interview.
His hardship and suffering was his own fault!
@@chicagogyrl4846 Yes and he endured the consequences, learned from it and came on the other side stronger and wiser.
Great video and amazing story sir!
Wow...very nice interview
Both of you are going through a transition and doing it with grace. Life is a beautiful challenge and wish the both of you success.
Beautiful. Thank you 👍
Incredible interview
Fascinating... Will definitely read the book..
What a top man 😊
this was AWESOME mate..........
Fantastic interview so honest, i read Shani's book i couldn't put it down highly recommended it
Welcome Back Shani.
It takes a certain mental toughness to survive any prison for that long let alone the Bangkok Hilton.
Mich respect to Shani coming out the other side a stronger man with so much to give back to society 🙌🏼
Great interview.He seems so calm.
incredible interview and story, i am amazed he survived all that, he is a real fighter.....
Pete awesome interview.let your guests talk & we all listen.keep it rollin ❤

Shani (Shaun) is a story of redemption - a true inspiration
Very interesting story, don't normally listen from start to finish but this one I did ! :)
Thanks for sharing your personal legend,
I like how you have interpreted and value added to your life through your Journey.
Regards,
Greg
What a wild story…
Thanks guys
Amazing story.
What a compelling, fascinating story!
Bought the book! What an amazing story!
Riveting interview! Great job Pete!
Thanks buddy 🙏
Thanks for sharing his story. He is a good storyteller and hopefully his story will stop someone making a silly mistake.
Thanks guys .
I'm not sure how this got in my feed but thank you both
glad you enjoyed it
Fascinating interview…I am glued to my phone and not even finished yet.
Wow that the best interview about inside Thai prison Pete .. shani is a stong minded man and great storyteller will definitely buy his book 👍🇹🇭🇹🇭🇮🇪
It’s a great read buddy
Great interview! Pete you should do a follow up story on that Blue Diamond Affair.
I second that
that is something that is often suppressed, because it paints Thailand and Thai people in a negative light. I even fee like that if you put up a video on it, they might delete it or call it slander. Very weak, cannot handle any criticism or anything that is anything less than positive.
In the women’s prison in Thailand there is also no toilet paper, set up is the same, and they don’t flush! It was really disgusting and awful.

Very good story from this man, it was crazy to me just thinking about how that would have been being a prisoner in Thailand. Thank you to you both for the interview.
Good video.
So engaging I forgot to smoke watching from beginning till the end. I vaguely remember reading about Krebs in the South African papers. Good advice from Shani.
Really lnspiring what a journey and what an ascent ❤
Fascinating ~ I'm a retired CO uSa....After my trail run, I look to watch the last hour. He shows perseverance and grit! Busy man inside...I would be curious about when his Thai gf came into the picture....that is private but it's interesting also. I wish him continued success.
