Scott's Bangkwang Time - Flags & Banners Made to Order

Flags and Banners Made to Order

Scott receives financial support from family and friends - he will be the first one to tell you that he is one of the lucky ones imprisoned in Bangkwang.

There are many prisoners there who receive no financial support what so ever - they have to do what they can to survive. They have their pride and many of them are very enterprising and offer services such as cook, barber, dentist, cleaner etc. in return for food, medication etc. There is a group of Thai inmates who manufacture flags/banners and sell them to raise money. As you can imagine they are somewhat restricted when it comes to 'retail outlets'.

Scott has said that he will try and help by letting you know about them, he will act as translator for your order and oversee production. He will also package and get them posted to the UK.

He is also hoping to raise money for two other Brit's who are less fortunate than him but are in another building so he is unable to share things directly with them. The conditions they live in have damaged their minds and they receive very little financial support, Scott knows that one of them in particular often goes for days without food. He has spoken to someone at the British Embassy who will arrange for funds raised to be deposited into their prison accounts and will hopefully make their lives a little easier.

His good friend Steve Willcox has recently been transferred back to the UK to serve the remainder of his sentence. Unfortunately his wife Lek has yet to be granted a visa to join him in England, she and their son Oak are hoping to be allowed to live with Steve's parents until he is released. Until then they will be alone in Thailand. Scott is also hoping that by selling the flags/banners enough money will be raised to help Lek and Oak until she is able to obtain a visa.

The flags/banners can be made in either portrait or landscape with the long side measuring approximately 143cm and the short side approximately 107cm.

If you would like to place an order:

Each flag/banner costs £20 which includes postage in the UK.

Please also enclose a cheque/postal order for £20, or if you prefer a £10 deposit, made out to Scott's Fund. Please also let us know if you are ordering from Steve's website

Receipt of your order will be acknowledged to you by e-mail and it will be sent immediately to Scott.

Scott hopes to have all orders returned to the UK within 6 weeks but please bear in mind the time it takes for mail going to and returning from Thailand. When your order is recieved you will again be notified by e-mail either informing you that your flag has been dispatched to you or requesting the balance of your payment. Your flag will then be dispatched upon receipt of payment (if you could send within 7 days please it would be appreciated).
