Guys,
'Marching Powder' by Rusty Young is actually available at Suvarnabhumi airport. I spotted it last week whilst departing L.O.S.
Those looking for some reading material for their flight home might fancy picking up this one. I didn't check the price sorry.

I will not entertain these criminals by buying their books....
















... Just kidding :D . I agree Kendo... Warren Fellows' 'The Damage Done' is a real page turner. Also read 'Welcome to Hell', forget who wrote that one but another good read.

For anyone who hasn't seen an episode, 'Locked up Abroad' is brilliant. Most of them are on youtube... all the first two seasons for sure but the rest are hit and miss.

A couple of random ones here..Not sure if they are good 'uns or not.
