Amid the tragic, ruthless, and forgotten, one man (David McMillan) resolves to do what no other has done: escape.”</p><br><p>His story is incredible as he takes the listener through every step of his hazardous disappearance from Klong Prem.</p><br><p>“Two Weeks Before My Execution By Machine Gun, I Abandoned 20 Earlier Escape Plans — And Got Out The Traditional Way: Over The Wall,” he said.</p><p> </p><p>“The Major Problem Was There Were 11 Walls,”</p><br><p>For more, visit David’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUjxjl8n4-pyC0Lro_zewFg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube channel. </a></p><br><p>Please rate and review Escaping Bangkok on Apple Podcasts.</p><br><p>Join us on <a href="https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02PgNnVQyy66CEBu6xi5Edue5zBdzNViMktZuFHUQSudo9W769vNmh4zix9ghAfLCSl&id=106483635528546" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@escapingbangkok?_t=8XPulPVgKMT&_r=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> and Instagram @EscapingBangkok.
