Nearly 250 inmates were released from Pattaya Remind Prison on royal pardons granted for HM the King’s coronation.
Warden Watcharaw Wachiralerphan oversaw the May 13 release of 181 men and 62 women prisoners. Each convict wore yellow shirts with “Long Live the King” emblazoned on the chest.
All of those granted pardons had been jailed on relatively minor offenses unrelated to drugs and had less than a year left on their sentences.
