Hi Everyone,

I hope to go out to Thailand for initially 30 days and I will hopefully be able to extend my Visa for an additional 30 days.  I hope to fund most of the journey myself. Of course I am not going to lie, I will be going to enjoy the sites, the temples etc.. But I want to visit as many British Nationals in Bang Kwang prison and Klong Prem Central Prison which hold both women and men. I will try and visit as many as I can. I hope to just have a chat and also to send in coffee, teas, ciggerettes, english books and any other creature comforts. Also I will write any letters that I can hand over to any relatives and/or phone their relatives (if they wish) to let them know how they are getting on.  I know most of these people  have been imprisoned  for drugs offences, however I do not judge, I see people who have been given really long sentences and I just think I could just go along and talk to them and give them a few comforts that most people take for granted it will hopefully just give them something to take there mind off their sentences.   Also if you know any british national and you think they would like me to come and visit please let me know my email is franmargio@outlook,com. I plan to go in FEB 2017 but it really depends on how much I can raise. 

The money I ask for is for getting to the prison and for providing anything they need. Also it will be for phone calls to the prisoner mums, dads, and families. I would also use he money if any family of these prisoners want to give me any photos or anything that the prisoner would like before my trip. Also I will try and send letters first to them if I can, so they wont be too shocked if I just turn up at the prison.


Thanks for reading FRAN
