With its narrow rooms, metal bars and bunk beds, Bangkok’s first prison-themed hostel promises the look and feel of a real jail in the bustling Thai capital.
The Sook Station hostel in Bangkok’s Udom Suk neighborhood offers guests pin-striped pyjamas for 700 baht (USD$21) and a wall with a height chart where they can have their mugshots taken.
The nine-room hostel is the first foray into the hospitality industry for Sittichai Chaivoraprug, 55, and his wife, 49-year-old Piyanat Teekavanich, after careers in the technology sector.
They were inspired by a shared love of travel and the 1994 prison escape film “The Shawshank Redemption”, starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins.
The hostel’s design includes black-out doors and windows in two rooms to create the feeling of being in solitary confinement. Showers are located on a caged-in rooftop.
For guests who may feel a sense of claustrophobia, seven rooms have a small balcony.
Thailand expects to welcome almost 35 million foreign tourists – nearly half the country’s population – in 2017. Many of them visit or transit through Bangkok, a regional travel hub.
Sook Station charges between 790 to 1,630 baht (USD$24-$50) a night for the prison-themed experience.

What a shame! This is all the bad things Malaysia has done for SEA Games 2017 in their country – The worst SEA Games ever!
1. No driver for Myanmar women team to return to hotel after beating Malaysia women team 5-0, and departure to hotel is delayed till 23:40 PM.
2. No bus for Thai futsal, U22 Vietnam to go to training venue. They also use wrong venue for Thai futsal team. Open the stadium too late for U22 Vietnam, U22 Indonesia… make them don’t have more time to train or they must wait before the match. Thai futsal team must use their money and taxi.
3. Ultras Malaysia insult Singapore at Shah Alam stadium, they chants ‘Singapore is d.og’
4. Malaysian police suggested to led Vietnamese women’s goalkeeper to the stadium. Finally, he led her around her…hotel. It takes 15 minutes before the match between VIE & PHI
5. No tickets for Myanmar fans, they said the tickets were sold out, finally, the stadium was empty and Myanmar fans had to watch their team from outside the stadium.
6. Media: Update the result too late, sometimes, they just update when their team win gold medal
7. Only 28/38 sports will be live on youtube. Important sports such as volleyball, futsal, women’s football will not be broadcast. This also is the first time since 2000 that a football match can’t be broadcast (Myanmar vs Laos, Brunei vs Myanmar).
Media groups from countries such as Myanmar, Thailand and Indonesia… must come to stadium and filming
Updating… LOL, only 2 days. What the hell are you doing, Malaysia?
Good news!
“Singapore is the first country to be allowed to use this Auto Gate at Suvarnabhumi airport. The Immigration Bureau of Thailand will consider adding other countries to the list for the Auto Gate in the near future.
“Singapore Travellers who wish to use the Auto Gate do not need to do preliminary register with the Thai immigration office. At the Auto Gate, the system will record passenger information and fingerprints for identification on subsequent trips. It can also be linked to airlines’ check-in systems to verify passengers’ identities,”
Your website and business are a mess. For the third out of 3 tries with Lazada, I’ve had my time wasted. You know what they say about 3 strikes right? This time round the seller sent me packaging that was clearly already opened. The product listing doesn’t mention that the earphones voice speaks Chinese – I expected English since it’s a listing in English and it mentions that it comes with an *English* manual even though the manual is in both English and Chinese.
I went to my Orders page to return the product. Thankfully it said I had till 24 Aug to return it (it being 15 Aug today, the day of receipt). Upon trying to return the item and filling out the whole form, I got a “Have you received your package?” message box like on this page – http://www.lazada.sg/helpcenter/returns-refunds/… – to which I replied yes. Next moment I was rudely taken to my Orders page with no idea of whether the return ticket had been filed. It had not, and now if I try to return I am told that “It is not possible to return this item as it has exceeded the time period of our returns policy”. What in the world are you on about?

The road is wide, there will be heavy vehicles, so any covered link way will need to be minimum 4.5m high, which means rain will still come in. It will cost millions to build a link way that may not even be effective in providing shelter. This is the problem infrastructure planners faced across Singapore.
In Sembawang, we did an experiment a few weeks ago. We left umbrellas on each side of the road, and invited residents to take them for shelter and return on the other side of the road.
Alas! A few hours after its launch, all the umbrellas were gone. I think some residents thought a product promotion was going on.
Our community volunteers topped up the umbrellas, and stationed themselves at the crossing, and explained to residents how the program works.
And an amazing thing happened. Residents started to contribute their umbrellas. I took four from home and contributed too.
With a variety of colors, residents now instinctively know these are for sharing.
Two days ago, when it was raining, I stood quietly at the road side and saw residents carrying the umbrellas to and fro, putting them back onto the racks.
One volunteer saw a young man gazing curiously at the umbrella and asking ‘where’s the QR code?’ The volunteer explained it’s a free umbrella sharing scheme.
There is a spirit of sharing and cooperative in our communities. I will monitor the scheme further, before expanding to other parts of my constituency.
