THIS IS CHRIS: RUNNING FROM THE LAW | Drug Smuggler | Pattaya Bar Owner | English Teacher

[@PerfectSense77]

Well done for putting in the effort to polish your skills so you can tell the story without cuts between every sentence. That trend is ruining a lot of KZbin channels these days.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks a lot, with storytelling you gotta try and do them in one take, or be very good at editing so it sounds like that!

[@bryanflowers3563]

I've got many stories like this. So many short term thinkers arriving daily

[@PauloGaetathe_original]

It was very entertaining and I really like the excellent quality of the editing, mixing scenes from Bangkok, Pattaya and London in the 90's...Looking forward to your next chapter!

[@christophernicol5266]

Dont think he deserved to get a 13 stretch ...hes just like a lot of other young "over inflated ego" blokes but fckd up ! If hed handed himself in when it happened he'd be doing half that time 🤷

You're all class, bud. Nice work. Not sure I've ever mentioned that to another guy before. Much Respect.

Thanks very much mate 😍

[@exploreasanaussiemillenial]

Thanks Pat for sharing a great story, and for creating such an awesome video to tell it!

[@JohnByrne4466]

Very well narrated Pat...enjoyed it very much, better than reading a book..well done.

[@gezeers]

Great vlog, Pat. I'm glad he had his days behind bars for a long time.I love your vlogs when you have the cats in the background or playing with them.

[@BangkokPat]

Thank you! 😊 The cats demand it so l gotta comply ,😻

Great story Pat! Looking forward to the next one!

The lucky thing for chris is that he served time in britain and not in thailand.

Great story Pat, unfortunately young men often make stupid mistakes and the consequences can be life changing. Hopefully someone will see this and stop and think before they to do something stupid and ruin their life.

[@BangkokPat]

Borders are tighter these days and Chris wouldn't get away with all that in 2023.

[@josephsonoftheuniverse5541]

Nice comment reveals a lot about you 🙏

[@IAm-NotHear]

Hot damn! You can tell a story, Pat!

[@rexpipin08]

This was very enjoyable indeed! Having been down the same road when I was in my late 20's into my early 30's (minus the drug smuggling and running from the law), it's all too common to meet other young Thailand based farang that think they can just swoop on in to magically become a bar/nightclub owner with their 'trusted Thai business partner'. Things more often than not don't go to plan! Great video mate.

Messed up way to make moneyv

[@robertgraham1088]

Back in the day early 1990s, I used to drink at a well-known bar on Sukhumvit 11. A regular German boozer ( call him Fritz) there had a rich daddy. Daddy's went bust so Fritz started to smuggle drugs into Thailand with his Thai girl. She got busted on a drug run and in order for her not to get the death penalty he admitted to owning half the haul so that her sentence was reduced to life. He got life too and is probably still in Bang Kwang. I admire him for saving her life. He was a decent bloke who just did not know how to et a proper job. Thanks for telling this story about Chris.

[@robhodder1687]

Great storytelling Pat, another string to your bow. I always enjoy the humorous banter between your two selves👍

[@BangkokPat]

Can't be deadly serious all the way Rob, gotta have a break here and there.

[@robhodder1687]

I notice your subs are gathering momentum 29k and rising. Congrats the quality is gaining rewards👍

Cracking story Pat and very well told 👍🏼

Thanks Buster!

[@michaelmalone3346]

Great presentation of a sordid yet interesting tale. Thank you for sharing it in your inimitable style...Cheers!

[@mmaranta785]

Great story Pat. I like the way you tell it with pictures and videos.

[@shitou75]

You are a very polished and professional storyteller who understands using the latest video bells and whistles. Based on so many other channels I've seen and their sub counts, you deserve at least 10 times as many subs as you have today. Great luck in growing the channel...

[@BangkokPat]

Thank you, l can only do my best but people like the walking faces type videos more than my long boring ones🥳🥳🥳

[@Sweetlyfe]

Lol...a lawyer introduced him into drug smuggling, that's hilarious. Nice one Pat. I enjoyed the vid

[@BangkokPat]

This country can also be as bent as the UK is...

[@donaldgrove2249]

Wow, this story makes me feel like a timid old fuddy duddy! I been back and forth between the US and Thailand quite a bit in the last 25 years, but I can tell that the best arrangement is for me to make my money in USD and then go spend it as THB. I am not an investor, and the last thing I want to do is owe money to a Thai lawyer!

[@mrdm1967ify]

Remember when the BHT was 45 to the USD in 04-05'?. That was my 1st time in Thailand. Best experience I ever had. Looking to get back there soon!.

[@natalierangkla]

@@mrdm1967ify I first came to Thailand in early 2004 and indeed, the exchange was great at that time.

You’re a great storyteller Pat !

[@cloudlesseveryday947]

Ya know what Pat? I am addicted to your videos. Started watching your back catalogue of brilliantly researched and informative episodes since last week and must have watched 50 of them now. Your knowledge of Bangkok and the way you deliver each subject you're discussing is far beyond anything i have witnessed on KZbin so far. If you have any free time in October/November I am visiting the Mrs in Chiang Mai. You are more than welcome to come up and be our guests or you can come next year once we move into our own gaff. I will show you round what i believe to be my city and then you will show me how much you know it much better than me. Keep up the good work man, so glad i stumbled across your documentaries. They are seriously fascinating to listen to. And this story was no exception. You should write a novel mate. 😊

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks for the kind words and glad you're catching up on the videos mate. I don't know Chiang Mai well, only from videos by Chai Travel and Bill's Unseen in Thailand channel! Was there last in 2001!!

[@realdivers]

Great story very well put over and extremely interesting. Well done.

[@jimjanlekha891]

Great story telling talent there, Pat!! You kept me watching for over twenty minutes, which is not an easy task 😅. Look forward to more! I’m curious what’s Chris up to now? Any ideas? Should he be out of jail?

Not sure about Chris, l didn't know him and l certainly won't be asking around!

Fantastic video, Pat - probably my favourite so far. Love these kinds of stories - Banged Up Abroad is one of my favourite TV shows and there is usually at least one episode in each series set in Thailand.

[@BangkokPat]

That was a fantastic series, is it still going? I gotta catch up on some of those old ones.

[@martinthailand]

[@daviddenham1511]

Great vid…..I’ve heard similar stories in my many visits

[@ChristoperGMoore]

Great storytelling is a rare ability. As we all tell stories, it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint why storytelling is a difficult art to master. Pat has told this true crime story well with all of its twist and turns, and edgy, dodgy characters. The key is to involve the viewer/listener/reader in the story. Pat does this exceptionally well. With this video Pat joins the noir crime storytellers in Thailand and elsewhere. I look forward to watching future stories set in Thailand unfold in Pat's capable hands.

Many bad dudes I knew of back home escaped their life and came to South East Asia. Some apparently on fake passports. Never argue with anyone here, farang or local. Responsible and respectful thing to do but also self-preservation. They're are a lot of connected Westerners in Thailand. You never know who the guy seated next to you is. Even in small northern villages staying low.

[@markhopcroft8895]

So true you never know who you are the company of,as they say (i gave him an offer he could not refuse) heavy men get old,but still have the power to pull many strings,beware of the old frail man in the corner of the bar😊
