the land of smiles from its grimmer side....

its well known and reported that prison conditions are far from human...

overcrowdet, violent etc etc...

nothing new here and a situation that many farangs wish for their criminals back home...but these kids, mostly students are far from beeing criminal...idealistic, critical like all youth are...now the system puts them together with murderers rapists paedophiles etc...for years, their best years, to come

what a failure...free speech gets punished like a hard core crime...

sounds like a dictatorship like russia to me..here its the critisism about royality.. there its the critisism of the ukraine war which gets people locked up for very long in inhuman condition in the middst of societys worst...

for a change in russia i lost all hope...but thailand has so many great people, i experienced the highest of human behaviour here....so i hope a change to the fairer in this difficukt field can come about
