Ep 6. Bangkok Betrayal

After a long day of sightseeing and partying, two friends from the UK decide to take a job transporting a package from Bangkok to Australia. Little did they know, the package contained drugs, and they were about to become unwitting smugglers. When they arrive at the airport, they are immediately arrested by the Thai police and thrown into a notorious prison.

As they struggle to survive in the overcrowded and dangerous prison, they realize they have been betrayed by the man who offered them the job. With no hope of release in sight, they must navigate the corrupt and violent world of the Bangkok prison while also working to clear their names.

Through interviews with the real-life subjects of the story, as well as dramatizations of their experiences, Locked Up Abroad takes viewers on a harrowing journey that exposes the dangers and complexities of international drug smuggling. From tense confrontations with prison gangs to desperate attempts at escape, Bangkok Betrayal offers a chilling look at the consequences of getting caught up in the criminal underworld.

With expert commentary from law enforcement officials, drug policy experts, and former prisoners, the episode also delves into the larger issues at play in the war on drugs, including the devastating impact of harsh drug laws on individuals and communities around the world.

Ultimately, Bangkok Betrayal is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of the global drug trade, and a cautionary tale for anyone considering taking part in it.
