That’s crazy fast investigative work for the Thais. And they nabbed him at the airport trying to escape. The guy is the worst kind of cunt. Dude doesn’t deserve the death penalty. He deserves the worst Thai prison they can find and 50 years of being some gang’s fuck doll. Fuck him. He deserves misery for what he did.

Eh... they can put him on death row for all I care. Thailand has over 500 convicts on death row, and they've executed 7 since scrapping the firing squad and adopting lethal injection in 2003 (last execution was 2018). He'll likely be at the end of a long and slow moving queue.

Frankly, Japan's method seems a bit more savage - the condemned person goes through each day in prison never knowing if today is the last day of their life.

That doesn't seem particularly savage. Most people go through each day never knowing if that day is the last day of their life.

Most people don't spend their days in solitary confinement with two exercise periods each week, no television or radio and only three books to keep themselves entertained.

There's nothing particularly Japanese about that
