What you need to know before your trail

This is the true story of drug smuggler David McMillan’s perilous break-out from Asia’s most notorious prison. After being arrested at Don Muang airport, McMillan spent over a year in Klong Plem awaiting trial. He watched as the other foreign prisoners fell prey to disease, violence and despair. Death appeared to be their only way out, but he resolved that this would not be the end for him.

Two weeks before a near-certain death sentence, McMillan escaped, never to be seen in Thailand again.
