Do you happen to know if the boy you describe is the Jo (or johan) who went in the army a few years ago - and then returned to NB for a while? Or is the boy you describe someone else.

Whoever provided you with the information about Jo's incarceration should be aware of which prison he was sent to. There's only two that service inmates from Pattaya; 1) Chonburi Prison, and 2) Nong Palai Remand Prison in Banglamung.

Once you know which prison he's in you would have to obtain his Thai name with proper spelling. Step two would be to go to the prison during visiting hours (typically start at 8:00 AM) and request a visitation form from the office in the visitors area. Once they have the form the prisoners name will be announced on a loud-speaker when it's you time to visit him. Visitation only lasts 20 minutes looking through glass on a telephone.

Good luck!

Thank you for the information. Yes, it is the same Jo/Yohan. When he was hanging around the Jomtien Complex before he moved on we called him Chelsea Boy because of his love for the Chelsea football team and he nearly always wore Chelsea team shirts. And to answer latintopxxx, Jo was definitely sent to prison after an arrest warrant was issued in August 2022. Not only Jo, but a whole gang was arrested.

There was an article in the crime news section of the local Pattaya newspaper later in 2022. That is how I found out about his arrest and there was also a photo in the article. I do have a copy of Jo's I.D card, so with your information Dodger I am sure my Australian friend will try to visit Jo when he returns to Thailand.

[aussie]

what was the gang up to? what crime?

ATM card fraud - Charged with “jointly defrauding people, forging documents and using forged documents and fraud by importing false information into a computer system". Jo's friend told me that after being taken in by the older gang members there was no way out.
