Bang Kwang is the site of the men's death row and the execution chamber of Thailand.

[2] Death row inmates were required to have their leg irons permanently welded on,[2] although this practice ended in 2013.

[6] As of 1995[update] there was one man from the United Kingdom on death row at Bang Kwang, Alan John Davies.

He was freed after 17 years of "hell" in the Bang Kwang prison, returning to the UK in 2007 after being granted amnesty by the king.

He wrote an autobiography in 2006, The Last Executioner, and co-wrote A Secret History of the Bangkok Hilton, with Pornchai Sereemongkonpol.
