Surprisingly, Conor had access to a cellphone, allowing him to record some proof of his extraordinary tale.
The scouser hasn’t been able to provide further details about his traumatic experience, bounded by other paid media commitments.

Okay, so why is this a "story"? I mean, who is this guy? What, exactly, were his charges beyond some vague "overstaying his welcome"? I think the problem here was my expectation. 😂
Overstaying welcome usually means an expired visa and activities frowned upon locally. "The scouser [Liverpool native - GA] hasn’t been able to provide further details about his traumatic experience, **bounded by other paid media commitments**. The guy has an Instagram account, which is enough influencer fame for this hard-hitting BP tabloid/yellow "journalist" to earn a few cents. There is nothing new in this article about prisons all over the world in the article, so it must be the Instagram "fame".
Load More Replies... I'm amazed that the writer of this story hasn't carried out any research. He was not imprisoned for visa overstay, he was imprisoned for theft and fraud here on Samui. For visa overstay you are held in Immigration detention centre in Bangkok. Everyone knows that. He ran off to the neighbouring island of Ko Phangan which is where he was arrested, and then brought back to Samui. His visa overstay was insignificant compared to his theft/fraud charges. He's telling everyone a completely different story and now wanting fame off the back of it. He's also telling everyone it was 6 weeks, but in actual fact he was arrested after 15th May (look at his Instagram) and released a few days ago. More like 4 weeks.

Dear Roger, thank you for the tip. We are currently investigating this lead.
Load More Replies... I don't know, but someone who is dedicated to the breeding of that breed of dog doesn't give me a good feeling. In any case it reminds me of midnight express movie and novel. I could not reach empathy with a person who, apart from the treatment in Turkish prisons, according to him, was still a d**g trafficker.
