Is he talking about the Diamond they call the Hope diamond? IDK but I saw a huge blue Diamond in the Smithsonian in D.C. it was blue but I can’t remember what the story was supposed to be.
Interviews with Sharni are by far the best ever on your channel. The guy recognises his wrong doing,his hardship with readjustment (and still adjusting). I know from the clarity of how he speaks in the interviews he ain't some look at me bullshiter. Thank you for the interview Pete and more so thank you Sharni for your honest self reflection. Respect and may you continue to follow your path and find inner peace 👍👍👍
That was a brilliant interview. A guy who accepted his crime an faced his punishment. Truly a story of redemption. Unimaginable what this guy went through. Looking forward to reading his book now.
I was in Thailand in 2001, where I bummed into a friend from Amsterdam. She had read a message in her hotel, that you could visit prisoners and that they hardly ever see people from outside the jail. So we went to visit a Dutch guy, Pedro, who was also there for heroin. While talking to Pedro, somebody looking like Shani passed by with some big Nigerian, and Pedro said he was a boss in the prison. The visit was surreal... Having to talk to the prisoner trough steel mesh with a huge gap between us. You really had to shout at each other to understand one and other. Pedro got pardoned a few years after and I saw him on Dutch TV. He wrote a book too. If in Bangkok, consider visiting a prisoner in the Bangkok Hilton. They do appreciate it.
Hey Pete, I don't often pass comment, however the Shani Krebs interviews are some of your best videos, both parts 1 and 2. - Interesting questions asked with sensitivity, the narrative never falters or wanes. As well, your empathy with Shani is exemplary. Thanks for the link to Shani's book - can't wait to read it.
Well done both ✅✅ Very real and very interesting. Wasn’t sure I was going to be able to watch all the way through but I was intrigued and captivated. 👏🏼👏🏼
50k, well done. I remember few years ago when you thought 5k subscribers would be huge. Looks like the 100k will be soon now. Good stories as well. Cheers and thanks Pete
Shani is my favourite of all your interviewees. A fascinating character, compellingly interesting. He doesn't try to paper over his problems with his family; he doesn't blame them. I think he definitely deserved his second chance. Nick
Wow Shani, You are such an amazing articulated Man, I watched and listened to part one, and now part two , your story and experience is fascinating, I was spellbound. Thank you Pete for such a great interview 🙏🙏
To anyone watching this that thinks that it's just another story I'd advise you to wait til the end and see how his life unfolds. Very interesting, great work as usual Pete
Top of the morning to you all …. I hope this fine fellow finds the gold at the end of his rainbow … and fair play to ya there Pete… for another fantastic interview…. To be sure to be sure
Great interview, and thank you both very much. I'd like to know Shani's thoughts on how we prevent crime in the first place? I know this sounds like a silly question, but where I'm coming from is with regards to 'prevention being better than a cure'. Obviously, there are bad eggs and there is not much that you can do for those people. I live in Australia where crime is becoming rampant, and offenders are doing less and less gaol time because of the huge costs associated with housing prisoners. Would a Thai-style prison in Western countries be a bigger deterrent than the current comfortable prisons? My theory is, depending on the crime (e.g. murder, rape, drug manufacturing/growing/importing) should be initially placed in a hell hole, then rewarded with better living conditions based on behaviour. If a long-term prisoner has less than two years remaining on their sentence and has been on good behaviour, they could undergo transition back into the community.
Society breakdown is the cause of youth crime rising, I’m a Kiwi & worked with at risk youth, this guy grew up in an orphanage, that in itself is a huge contribution. The youth I work with lack family, father figures & are all nice kids just looking for purpose & unconditional love. I would hate we follow 3rd world prisons but I agree we need bigger deterrents but they come from rehab, death penalty doesn’t work so not much else would.
@@nikkimclay5474 Thank you for your insight. As a person 61 years of age, I remember living in an environment where one family member was at home during the day - usually the mother. Nowadays, both the mother and father work and children are left to their own devices. Back in those days, most children weren't game to get into trouble because they would get a kick up the butt. This makes me think that today there is a lack of accountability and discipline for a person's actions. Obviously, we can't turn the clock back, but there needs to be a better system than what is currently in place. To give you an example of where I was originally coming from, a local guy raped a young woman, and following the rape he wrote obscenities all over her body in a permanent marker. In two years he will be out of gaol having served his sentence, and with our town being relatively small there is every chance they will cross paths again.
I've lived here on and off 16 years best women in the world if you treat them with respect and pick a good girl, teacher, hospitality you get a bar girl your in trouble.
Shani is an interesting storyteller. He is matter of fact; doesn’t glorify his actions & obviously served his time & learned major lessons from it! Shani would be a great consoler for younger adults that are @ a cross road in life & could go either way. A calm dose of reality without scare tactics, basically his story would/could help many people.
Interesting about Warren Fellow's. The damage done . Great book, but I did question if he'd made it a bit more dramatic than the reality. But we all know people who don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Maybe that’s why he became emotional at that part of the interview, the realisation of the demons eating away at him, I think it would take a lot of strength to get passed that point trying to rebuild your life
I spent six years in Bang Kwang for drug smuggling. At 6'7" and 280 pounds of muscle, I was built like a damn freight train-years of bodybuilding, wrestling since I was 5, and six years of MMA under my belt. First day in, three guys tried to jump me. It ended ugly for them, and after that, no one even thought about testing me again. I took what I wanted when I wanted. Got myself a private room-something that costs most foreigners a fortune-because no one had the balls to stop me. I was supposed to do 21 years but greased the right palms and got out in six. For most, that place is hell on earth, but for me, it wasn't terrible.
43:40 dude had a great support system, his family, even his Thai girlfriend was there for him, that’s probably the number one reason he made thru that hell hole prison!
@@ThairishTimes Thais won an extradition case from London where he was imprisoned waiting for the outcome. Strangely they never went through with it and he was released
Once you realise living is a concept. The world is a generally held reality processed by a system of perception...then you understand that there are limited choices. We are all in a prison with rules. And yet even the shit show has a 'watcher'.
I was locked in so intens. I have a Brother that was a Addict that caused extreme damage to the hole Family. My father a Heart Attack, my Mother a extreme Depression that is still with her. Financial issues and so on. I believe in a second Chance too. The Same way as you. Habe to esen it. The question i have is the following. The hile thing you went through. Would You say that you payed back for the Harm you caused by dealing?
Yes indeed , I paid back year for year ,16 years dealing and using drugs , 18 years in prison. However, I still live with the guilt of the peoples lives I destroyed, no prison sentence can bring back those people who passed on …
@@shanizorkrebs4466 i didnt Expect a answer to be honest. Biggest respect to you man. Keep it up. And thanks again for Sharing your Story in a Open way like You did
@@hangemhigh7069 Yes. Well, it's just that native-English speakers seem to have a tough time pronouncing the Thai word for the English word, 'cow'. You should try it sometime.

David McMillan was not on death row if was on death row he would of been in bangkwang in the death row section they are in chains 24 /7 you cant escape in leg chains fact
Long hair I have and it's now about the Nazarite vow of the old testament. Devoting yourself wholly unto God, no women or strong drink. In Jesus day they would know what man was a Nazarite that way. Now they think your a hippie dippy weatherman. Tomorrows weather, light.

Wow Shani,
You are such an amazing articulated Man,

Thank you Pete for such a great interview 🙏🙏
More fascinating than the first interview. Another read to obtain.
Great interview.

Easily the best person you have interviewed and he is a very brave open and humble man
Excellent interview loved his respect for Thai culture ❤
Pete - Great interview, but please go with the interviewee…Shani mentioned that 2 inmates “crossed” the General and were “offed”. What did they do?
Doesn't really matter. They crossed him and paid for it lol
Great video enjoyed it. Been in Thailand over 11 years, always try to follow the low lol
Always enjoy your interviews Pete, Congrats on 50k subs.
Thanks Thomas, it’s been an incredible journey
50:48 , my question 🎉😊 thxPete and good luck Shani.
The question about how would of your life turned out was a really well thought out inquiry. Prop's to the dude who asked that 😊
😂😂😂
There were a few books mentioned in todays excellent interview. Be good to get a list of them and where to get them.
Anyone know?
A mentally strong man, most people wouldn’t survive the ordeal.
@@Baloybeach plenty have survived that ordeal and worse facts
Thank you for the vey interesting one. Hope Mr Shani finds peace in his soul.
I don't know if I could if my girlfriend married my best friend
Great Vid 👍
To anyone watching this that thinks that it's just another story I'd advise you to wait til the end and see how his life unfolds.
Very interesting, great work as usual Pete

How does you find the detention centre after being locked up Shanni ?

This question for Sharni did know a friend of mine in building 2 bangkwang John Russull I'm trying to contact I heard he lives in Cambodia now
I am on TELEGRAM - same name
@@wobbly555 is that you John I don't know how to contact you Telegram ?
If a person chooses to commit a crime to return to prison then he has been turned into an animal that needs the fences. Very sad!!!
Maybe that’s why he became emotional at that part of the interview, the realisation of the demons eating away at him, I think it would take a lot of strength to get passed that point trying to rebuild your life
It's finally come to me who this guy has reminded me of, since the beginning of Episode One, especially with his round eyeglasses: Benjamin Franklin.
Strongs, matey!
It would be interesting to know if Shani was allowed back into Thailand if he would return?
Shani you have a nice voice and depth. You could be a great Joe Rogan equivalent in your own quieter, less bullshitty way.
