Synopsis
Prison is a harsh enough place, but being a foreigner in a strange land, and this ordeal becomes a lot more horrifying. This book chronicles T M Hoy's descent into the madness, horror, and insanity provoked by South-East Asian prison life. It shows you through his eyes the bizarre events of daily life in Thai maximum security prisons., Prison is harsh enough, but as a foreigner ("farang") in a strange land, jail time is an even more horrifying reality. Rotting in the Bangkok Hilton is a collection of short stories chronicling T. M. Hoy's descent into the harrowing world of Southeast Asian prison life. Through his eyes, readers will experience the bizarre events of daily life in a Thai maximum security prison: feel the weight of the chains he wears, the stomachaches from lack of food, witness the murders, drug overdoses, torture, and unbridled cruelty that ensues. Sentenced to life in prison, Hoy does his best to accept the fate he's been given. While attempting to "adjust" to this third-world hellhole, he contracts tuberculosis and nearly loses his life. Hoy's stories are brutal and his words are heart-wrenching. Go places you've only seen in your nightmares, to a world in which few survive, and none emerge unscathed . . . and if you're lucky, you'll die before you really begin to suffer.

    The game arrived in flawless condition, exactly as described, and at a great price! The seller was highly professional and carefully followed my request for secure international packaging, keeping collectors in mind. It was shipped in a sturdy box with multiple layers of bubble wrap, ensuring complete protection. The game installed and played perfectly. One of the best deals I’ve found on eBay! Highly recommended, I would gladly purchase from this seller again! A+++

    This book arrived quickly and packed better than I have seen other used books from other vendors here… So thrilled about that… usually I order a new or VG book and the sloppy packaging ( no or little protection in shipping…and because of that… I receive a banged up….ripped… or dented book… Now this book was described as VG… but I thought it was excellent! Definitely Saving this seller! So very happy with everything!!!
