Been to Thailand at least ten times. They don't play around. Obey their laws. Respect their customs. Not hard.
Only ten times?
@@fleshtaffy That's a lot to go on holiday to the same country
@@samdobie6748 not a lot to be an expert on their current laws and customs lol. But yea you're right this guy could be 30 for all I know.
@@fleshtaffy It cost alot to go to Thailand, atleast where i'm from
@@CringeModeActivated With your name, I assume that you’re from the US. The only expensive thing is the flight, which isn’t to bad. I’ve bought round trip tickets from Vegas for as little as $750, and once you get to Thailand everything is cheap.
Thank you for story!.
Born and lived in Bangkok for 20 years. Don't get involved in that scene if you don't have the pockets to buy your way out. Rule of law is different there.
Thank you so much ❤
As part Thai and been living here for 26 years, just stay away from the "dark areas", Bangkok Hilton is a place you definitely won't enjoy especially if you don't have the money. So many beautiful places to see and fun activities to do legally! Don't try fighting the locals too and try to resolve conflicts with a cool head. Thais are kind and helpful people generally, just don't make them lose face in their own land or you'll see a side you wish you didn't bring out.
Why you shouldn’t fight with the locals Thais? What will happen?
@@chawnangels564 muay thai strong bro.😂
Absolutely spot on.make problems with the locals and they are around you like.flies,they all have thier own types of mafia
I am a farang living in Chiang Rai. Good advice, bro.
I won't go there ... I've had Thai girlfriends in countries outside Thailand .... no fning way will I go there !!
Never do anything drug related in south east Asia ( the laws are super strict )
Doesn't stop a lot of young men coming here..... I see it all the time. 30 year old bloke with no visible means of support, living in a nice condo, superbike ect.....
Why don’t they have more progressive drug laws? Why should people adhere to ridiculous laws?
@@hmalik5232 Because of the consequences if you‘re not.
@@jonko262 the laws should be changed
@@hmalik5232 Yes of course, but I don't think that not adhering to them will change them
Hopefully you are doing better and making better decisions for your life sir!
Awesome Video poorly its so short would love to hear the full story! Sad it has so little views
There is full one out there somewhere mate. Was on tele in april let me see if i can find the link
@@willkelly7570 That would be awesome!
Search banged up abroad Thai ice storm on TH-cam
I knew a guy from Singapore who got arrested for possession of heroin in Thailand and sent to prison there. He suffered for the first 2 weeks but from the moment his brother visited him and brought money, he lived luxuriously. Better sleeping conditions, no longer ate prison food, booze, drugs and he didn't even get deported upon his release. They simply handed his passport back to him. That was in the late in the late 90s. Not sure if the same arrangements are possible now.
He would of been deported but the rest is true if you have 💰 money being in prison in Thailand is not that bad I know some guys that were there for years they shared a cell with another guy one had their own cell some one cooked his food another washed he's clothes outside in the prison yard they had a little area were they lounged around on deck chairs a little garden never said about booze but plenty of drugs shemales lol they didn't say too much but I knew but they also said if they didn't have money it would of been very uncomfortable
I mean you’re lucky they were bribe-able or else your friend would be 💀
Sounds like a lie although anything is possible when it comes down to money.
if you seek excitement ,you get excitement,
but dont be surprised if adventure starts and you no longer able to stop it
Wow amazing
Nice video.
I’ve been homeless most of my life, so even though I was free didn’t mean I don’t know poverty and abuse in America. I worked hard to say no to people who would get me in trouble and said yes to self improvement and yes to the library. People can’t help you stand on your own feet. You have to demand that for yourself.
then how u have a phone
@@horrorclause4122 same question 🤔
People have helped you stop the lie
People can't help you stand on your feet if they can definitely help you get up on your feet you always need somebody
@@horrorclause4122 obama phone for homeless
so good to be true...
Been to that lovely country a few times and the people are lovely. So don't disrespect the culture or the laws.
Its amazing what humans can go through
Mental strength beats physical strength.
I would rather be locked up in Thailand Prison than American. Safer, you can buy your own cell, and you can buy luxuries even McDonalds every day if u want. Most westerners have a Thai servant, no joke. Drugs, Women, anything is possible. It's a City within a City.
it's amazing how stupid people can be. don't take illegal drugs into countries where you face death or major prison time. Don't do drugs the first time No chance of getting addicted.
@@janetrogers4738 it takes a special kind of human
@@janetrogers4738 Thanks Janet.
Can we get some full episodes plz
How did this guy not beforehand know how stupid it is to break drug laws in Thailand?
The guy wears a nose ring, nuff said
He even says in this video how he had heard about Thai prisons. How bad they are. Beforehand. Yet he did it anyway. Not too smart. And hooked on the drugs.
Drugs are everywhere in Thailand bro he just the real unlucky one to get caught
@@johnbarry8283not really they have a much better criminal catch rate than most country
Good job
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Where can i see the full episode???
Where can we watch these new seasons online because there's only the first 3 seasons on the banged up abroad account?
I am wondering the same
Nice,,
I’m in Thailand right now. It’s quite safe and the people are nice. Im here now for almost 6 weeks and never seen a fight or robbing on the street or what so ever. Remember to ALWAYS respect their king and royal family. You’re a guest in his kingdom. Respect that kingdom and you won’t be in trouble.
I lived there for 5 years. It's easy to have a peaceful life there with no hassle. I'm not into drugs or anything like that, so the Thai underworld was never something I diced with. I go back there in two weeks after 3 years away.
Be happy and make oher happy that's the key to live and keep away from crime
Hey just enjoy working for the railroad
They have a King??? Are you $hitting me? 😆😂🤣
@@dobklyznskovik6705 bruh what
So sad.
good holidays sancho
Nice
i love national geographic
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
You don't have to do a crime to do time.
Being in Thailand is really very simple. Follow the laws and respect the culture and you'll be ok. Thailand is a wonderful country, so there is no need to make trouble for yourself.

All of these episodes of locked up abroad are awesome! You should watch them all.
Just how long did he get?
I had charity cage fight with this lad. Let's just say it didn't go well. He is one tuff lad. Lovely bloke tho. Still talk to him now
Yes Will! So much respect for you mate, really appreciate the message as well bro, will catch up soon 👊
He betrayed you? No,you betrayed yourself.
100%..... He just needed to be scared straight, in order to LEARN!
I mean he did betray him yea he was stupid for being involved but he got betrayed
Sidempuan petualang listen new friend...thanks sharing Vidio
Are there new episodes?
Anyone knows how to watch full videos and free (last seasons) thanks🙏🙏
Stay away from drugs in Thailand. It is the dumbest thing you can do to get involved in drugs and befriending dealers. Not surprised one bit his "friend" set him up.
The land of smiles 🙏
Where’s the full episode?
What episode and season is this from? Wish they put that in the description for all their video clips
I could answer this but I don't like your profile Pic

@@bodeenlynchfield1200 😂
*betrayal is the biggest poison*
Your enemies can't betray you... YOU are your OWN worst enemy, the worst MONSTERS YOU create are the ones from your BAD CHOICES!
... Whatever Secrets you keep in the DARK will ALWAYS finds it way to SURFACE into the LIGHT....
Don't break laws no betrayal.
where is the full episode?
Atleast give us a full story
Where's part 2?
Welcome to my country THAILAND 🇹🇭
UK prisons need to be more like Thai prisons! No one ever wants to go back to a Thai prison! I have actually visited a friend in Bang Kwang Prison. It is a terrible place!
Than move to a country where there’s no human rights if you love authoritarian third world countries’ so much
Exactly you would see crime cut right down overnight.and a.lot less pressure on the cops,-but while we have left wing do gooders very little chance of that
You guys should contact Brittney Griner when she gets out. I would kill to see an episode where she talks about her life being locked up in Russia.
10 years maybe ahahaha
You would kill to see that ?
hoy
@@noobie1890 Say what again??🤣🤣🤣
@@noobie1890 ohhhhh
That's when (commercial) I realized (commercial) I was probably (commercial) in (commercial) trouble. Next (commercial) I....... You get the point. 😁
❣️
I was born in Thailand and live in Thailand but never knew they were this violent
Any links to the full episode of this one ☝️
Thai is the full episode. This dummy's life would take a book. The Thai prison is a small part of it.
@@joekicker3196 I would say your stupidity actually hurts pal
I’ve been to Thailand a bunch of times
That’s it? I want more!
More? Go to Thailand and try run a mini cartel-- then its all yours.
@@snl1754 no too hot . Australia is hot enough for me . No cartels though
The show I'd called banged up abroad. This is just a small peice of one episode
We are apologize.
Thats why you shouldn't do drugs in ASEAN countries especially in Indonesia.
Just don't do drugs period. Save yourself and your brain and save your money.
nice story
Hello
Did they make him re-enact his on traumatic experience lol
It’s probably an actor the entire time lol
So what happened to him..it must have turned out Rough!
I'm free, I have my own business and u have a son now. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
The USA prison system should take lessons from Thailand.
When I was in Bangkok i was approached by undercover policemen who posed as drug pushers trying to sell drugs to tourists, i knew this game they play so I told them to get lost.
I have come to the kingdom for 30 years started as a backpacker, i have never ever experienced that, i have paid tea money while stopped in traffic, that's it
I know a person that went there after bidding on a job,he claims that at the airport headed back to the states, his personal bank, password, was stolen from his luggage, that drugs was planted and he is in prison, 4000 kept him alive, but now don’t know whether he is dead or alive
Very true About undercover police selling drugs to tourists then they threatan to arrest them.if they don't give em tea money
Just stay clear of them.easy to just ignore
If people from other countries commit crimes in our country, we try them according to our laws and we put them in prison according to our laws, too. Yes, the conditions in some countries's prisons are reprehensible, but it's quite normal that you're going to be brought to justice in the country you're committing the crime in.
Served his sentence and still blames the guy that snitched on him if he wasn't behaving in a way that warranted snitching he wouldn't have gone to prison
Sounds like something a snitch would say

You must be a snitch yourself
@@COOLBREEZESC So you must be an ignorant criminal
I went to Honduras & Belize. The authorities are mean. I was standing up for my rights when robbed. They said you're NOT in America. I 💋 kissed American soil when I got off the plane.
yep . I had similar experience. That is why I don't wellcome people coming across the usa border....... they bring that culture. " corruption es completo "
Then you went to Detroit... 🤣
Where is he now? Still in prison or
Thailand is very safe & beautiful country to be in. All you have to do is respect their culture, their laws and do the right thing. If you act up, they WILL make an example out of you!
I have a co-worker who only travels to Thailand for their cheap hookers. This dude is shameless, lol will always bring back picture of his "girlfriends", completely doesn't get that that they just like his money, not actually him. Its funny listening to him talk cause he's all into threesomes, crazy stuff, but he gets all serious about "Don't insult the King!"
He said at the beginning of movies they will play this short thing about the "King" and you must stand up and show respect, not doing so could get you arrested.
You must be living under a rock/la la land, never heard corrupt cops frame people ???!!!! NO REPLY READ.
Well the police literally put drugs in peoples suitcases. You ain’t got a clue bro
@@GG-nn4op watching too many movies buddy and you liked your own comment
@@nocturnalwolf7559So did you.
This is so terrifying...
I'm never watching this again on your channel it's just part of the show
You are lucky enough that you get caught in Thailand. If you get caught in Singapore you're be dead by now.
So you should respect the law in any country that you're visit.
I knew someone who got driven by an extremely drunk driver on a moped, they crashed Into a woman and child, both of them knocked out, luckily the woman and child weren't badly hurt, woke up and he was in prison getting charged with the drunk driving and hitting someone, he said that he rotted in prison where inmates died of disease, neglect and starvation for 6 months before his appeal to get them to check the cctv to prove that it was not him that was driving, apparently the police who "witnessed" it don't lie so they never thought to listen to his side
Barbarians whose laws and courts are a joke.
Yes, in Thailand, despite facts and evidences, the Thais' testimonies are always deemed as valid by police. Like farangs are all compulsive liars or to get something off them ;)
Perfect prison for Prison Break season 6
Read the book , Damaged done.
About the Aussie prisoner Warren Fellows time in the big Tiger. That will shock you on how your treated in there. Absolutely brutal.
As long as TH-cam is around there’s always gonna be a first.
true.
For real
But there will never be a last.

Not one bit of this was actually filmed in Thailand
Common sense is best or suffer the consequences...glad you survived to telll the tale.
Even common sense can be deadly. An American was walking on a sidewalk in Phuket, Thailand. A tourist bus drove by at speed. The driver forgot to close the luggage compartment door. The tourist was nearly cut in two.
@@brahmburgers well Thailand has deadly traffic, i did not hear of this incident, did he survive
How to which in uk
Human rights is something so hard to get in Thailand saying as a Thai we do want to change that but moving out of country is much more easier
@@hmalik5232 what make you think I don’t want human right?
@@vanillabreado I misread your comment sorry, I thought you said we do not want to change
Why would you get mixed up in drugs in a place like that. Everyone and I mean everyone knows the consequences jail end of. And I mean end of

Title of the video says thailand prison..
...How was this filmed?
Not the actual person. A person that closely resembled him that will speak on his behalf. True story, but different speaker. Just like Netflix’s Narcos (2015). All was true, but that wasn’t the real Pablo Escobar.
lol, most of the Locked Up Abroad episodes are from Thailand...and i live here...from USA
True 😂😂
@National Geographic
One question. Did he drop the soap?
Now, we know what’s on your mind.
I doubt they had soap! They only just about had barely clean water to drink
I live in Thailand.
Ice ice baby 😂😂😂
YOOOOOOOO
What yooo this video ain't cool...
Brits and Aussies perfect vacation plans
Sir 1pis nikon camera give me
the prisoner are speaking (khmer) cambodian
I guess I’m paying for National Geographic membership 😒😒😒😒
They the prison in the Philippines. You're still lucky in Bangkok.
Thailand tony they don't mess about bro
Looks like scofield in prison break
P A U L D E N I N O
Is this real
Don't do drugs then
👍
that WNBA basketball player that got arrested in Russia in marijuana is probably reeling. She shoulda watched this first, drugs abroad is always a no-go. Brittney Griner also had some bad timing due to...well...war.
Where can i watch this in india?
Ps: please dont say on tv/nat geo
