Bankok Hilton: The Terrible Bangkok Hilton
26,361
Published 2023-11-10
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”.

The thought of being in this prison and basically a lot of foreign prisons is truly terrifying, I know the central American ones are really awful 😱
-
Gah dam these KEEPS sponsorships must be paying off! I swear in the last video his head was clean as a Whistle (BA DA BUM BUM TSS!)

Loving those videos, Karl. :D Your tangents and side comments remain highly enjoyable!
-
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.

The description of the prison has given me a stomach ache 🤢🤢🤢🤢

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!

With countries like this you need to be really careful that your personal medication doesn't run afoul of the law.
-
Is it just me, or does "have the day you deserve" sound like a threat?
-
Great video, Karl!

Thank you.

I’ve seen enough Banged Up Abroad episodes to know Thai prisons aren’t much fun.
-

Rumour has it Bruce Mercer is now living in a multi floor mansion in Phuket with a 6 figure pension 🤔

This video along with 2 books has made me add Thailand to my list of places never to visit. It's just not worth the risk.
