Somebody to write to?
On a serious note though! I left behind so many friends within Bangkwang Prison walls.
Many men in much worse situations than I was, men without financial support of their families or friends, men forgotten, who are left to survive by their own means, no easy task in a Thai prison.
A monthly wage might amount to £15.00 fifteen yes! Yet to live on a basic very stringent budget a £100.00 would barely see you through.
Many of you have written and asked me for a name of a friend still in the Bangkok Hilton prison you could write to or support in some small way.
One very worthy friend still there is “Soe Paing Tinsoe” Bangkwang Prison, Building 6,
The only fault with this friend is he’s a little too proud to ask or accept help when offered, so I will do it for him!!
Readers you can write letters of support to Soe Paing Tinsoe, but bare in mind the price of a stamp in prison is equivalent to one meal for this man to reply to you.
By far the best way to help is to send a “Registered Post Letter” to him with a few pounds worth of Thai Currency Notes inside, these you can easily obtain at a Bank or Travel agent within
Food and care parcels are good, but very expensive, the above Thai currency by “Registered Post Only” is far the best help and value for money i.e. maximum help for money spent.
Soe Paing is a Burmese National, fluent in English and believe me readers, a man very worthy of your help.
The above method is tried and tested, “Safe”, money sent will be credited to his prison account for him to spend daily, any written letter also enclosed will be handed to him. No fear of the Guards stealing it.
Registered Post is opened in front of you. Soe Paing Tinsoe will most definitely reply to all letters sent him.
Thai Currency Notes come in dominations of 100, 500 and 1.000 (Baht notes), roughly the equivalent to £1.50, £7.50 and £15.00.
Give Soe Paing my best regards and tell him he’s certainly not forgotten and once I am free from Prison I will return one day to
My best mate Scott Hurford also still in the Bangkok Hilton, you can also write to the above Bangkwang, Building 6 address.
Also check out Scott’s website www.scottsbangkwangtime.net
Scott still has over a year to transfer back to an English prison.
So again give my mate all the support you can, he also has an online Petition to support his Kings Pardon
