Several years later in 1994, it was a beginning of 'journey thru hell' for him. He secured a business deal in Bangkok with a large foreign corporate, not known to him, turned out to be a large fraud. So dedicated in his work, he didn't realized he was being cheated and being ripped off left to right. When the beans were spilled, it was already too late as the culprits were on their way sipping fine cocktails, spending the money. Penniless, mad, super frustrated, he decided to stay in Bangkok, ended up spending several years in Bangkok trying to find the culprits, leaving his wife and children in UK.

After 2 years, he managed to find the culprits and thought everything will be back to normal again. But he was absolutely wrong and that was the beginning of the real nightmare for him...

What happened to Colin? can be found in this book 'Welcome to Hell', a story told so intense by Colin about his life jailed in Bangkok Hilton - the most notorious prison in the entire Thailand. It is where money rules, the guards has ultimate power over the prisoners, filthy jails (feaces everywhere), men turned to men for sex, prisoners were asked to masturbate to fill the guards leisure time, super corrupt guards and policemen whom strip the prisoners' money (given by family and friends) to buy their daughter's birthday gifts, gangsterism, violence with no cause, 'cartoon' court trials and many more. How did Colin survived? Do grab the book. I found mine in 1B.

If you like true story, this is a must read, easy to understand, the type you can't put down for a break. It is an eye opening. One message Colin wants to deliver here is - Thailand is dangerous. Happy reading! *But at the same time, Thailand has its beauty side as well*
