Billy’s a great guy
Enjoyed his story, cheers
I spent time in Koa Chang in 95, I was paying 40 baht for an oz of Thai stick so I ended up staying longer than expected, great place 💟
Thus guy has sure lived a long hard life, glad he’s in a good path.
What a great video.
Loved the way he put his hand up and said he did the crime and made no excuses.
Best bit was when he said he now has a child, "A little miracle". Good onya Billy.
Glad you liked it 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes, that's my feeling. Billy came over as a really nice guy, honest and only too happy to admit his failings. Good luck to him
Great interview. Billy is a natural story teller and it's a privilege to hear his story. He has obviously risen above his hardship and developed a great insight into himself. A truly tough character and really inspiring to hear that he now uses his experiences to help others. Really humbling to hear this story. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
I came across Billy's unfortunate story a few year back. It's so lovely to hear he is on the right path and he's got a little boy 😊. Wishing Billy all the best and a beautiful future 🌹
Wishing you all the best Billy and thank you for sharing your life with us. Bravo to Pete too.
Fascinating interview. The way he tells his story, he is just so open and baring his soul.
Big respect Pete for making a video with a controversial character...most Thai You Tubers shy away from these stories but its good 2 here from a guy who alot of us can relate 2. Keep these interviews comin!
Thanks mate, I thought Billy’s life story was well worth getting on the channel
Raw and honest, probably a lesson in life for anyone who wants to follow the same path.Respect to Billy for taking responsibility for his actions, wish him all the
best for the future,... another great interview Pete, keep it up 👍
Billy is a special person, made of steel and concerete, with a huge heart ❤ much admiration for him. ❤
Billy is a good man. He has changed and trying very hard to have a good life now. Great storey.
Very interesting story. Hope you stay clear of the drugs Billy and that you keep your life on a good path.
You were right about ' the language barrier disclaimer'🤔 I need to watch this interview later with subtitles on. 😀
Fascinating. Now I want to read the book and watch the film. It's crazy what hardships humans can survive through, and it makes me appreciate what a relatively easy life I've had.
I didn't read the book but the movie will stay with you for a long time...I felt like I was in a thai prison with him minus the ass raping 😆
Yeah, this gives some perspective.
Once a year I go out in the wilderness to survive of the land to remind me how easy I have it, plus its a wonderful experience, and that first hot shower in civilization is a thing of beauty.
Lived in Thailand almost ten years now,...and was well aware of how miserable life in a Thai prison could be,.......the best advice I ever got was that I'm a visitor here,....behave yourself,.....and you will have a great stay in the Land of Smiles.
@ destroygaryfunky- learn and practice the meaning of "Guest" in another country . The farangs after a few years start becoming Mr Farang Thailand they appear with the big gold chain with five Buddha's attached then they kobkoon krub'n and sawasdee krub'n every ten seconds they've learn't their ten words in Thail language and think they're special and above the other farangs . The expats , long term stayers farangs with resident certificates , retirement farangs etc are farangs and every move they do is on show .
Start selling fake passports mate 😅😂love from Australia 🇦🇺
Great stay lol
@@toma4692I don’t get it.
Awesome Interview both of you. Watched the film earlier this week and glad I did. What a story! Raw 🙏🏻👊
That was quality, prob my fave yet. Obviously it's a humbling story but the guy seems pure genuine, no ego in the way there at all, happy to share his vulnerable moments. Just shows, it's the old "never judge a book by its cover". Great man, great story. Cheers Pete.
Cheers mate, glad you liked it
Wow what a shtory! Nice fella, I met a few like him over the years and most still have a chip on their shoulder, but he seems unusually at ease with the past. Good luck Billy, well done for using your experiences to help others - the world needs more people like you.
Glad you liked it mate
This is better than any other interview I seen with Billy !! I love the clarity he gives on how his addiction is 👏 well done Pete ,, quality content 🔥🇮🇪✨
Thank you very much ☺️☺️☺️☺️
@@ThairishTimes 🤣🤣☺️☺️🙌😂
Brilliant story, brilliant film. Fair play to you Billy for sharing your honest story and great you have stayed clean for the last 5 years.
I watch Billy podcast and listened to his story a couple of times he's had some life hard but he's doing great now
Well done Pete, best interview yet. Billy is a man that never gave up, max respect to him. I will order his books today. Congrats on the 25k subs!
Thanks JP 🙏🙏🙏👍🏼
Pete - this interview was an absolute gem. Billy’s storytelling is fantastic.
Excellent story of this man's life! One if your best interviews Pete, loved it!
Thanks Anthony
Billy was brutally honest and didn’t blame anyone else for what happen. When and where he grew up was tough, he was having a great time in Thailand and turned his life around but when your broken hearted you don’t thing straight. The film a Prey before dawn is a harsh look at what life in Thai Prison not for the faint hearted and a cult classic movie. Now he is settled with a family he has turned his life around now well done to billy. I will check out his podcasts .
Great story, I admire Billy for is honesty 👏 Billy is from approximately 7 miles from my home widnes England 🇬🇧
Hey Pete, I happened to watch A Prayer before Dawn the other day, great movie btw ! I was thinking this all rings a bell and then I remembered I watched your interviewed with Billy Moore. Good one.
Nice one Don, I thought it was a really good Thailand based movie
What an intelligent guy! Great to listen too. Life best creates character like this with their ups and downs and attachment to real emotion. Good interview.
Glad you enjoyed it Carlo
Excellent interview 💕 I wish him and his family endless love and blessings ❤️
I’m fixed on this guy. Amazing story. Read his book after seeing some interviews. It’s amazing. I’m on his second book. Also brilliant so far. Solid grafter and a crazy ride of a life.
If you want to read a amazing book it’s a true story, it’s called The Damage done by Warren Fellows it’s about a Australian who gets caught smuggling heroin out of Thailand, I don’t read many books but this book is so good you cannot put it down, it’s the best book I have ever read.
Fantastic Jon, enjoy
👏👏👏👏👏JUST loved it, what a good interview just letting the man tell this story . Thumbs up and have Subscribed ☘
Cracking chat Pete and a great shtory from Billy, the one hour flew like 10 minutes, well done to U2👍👍
Thanks very much Gary, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for share a great video Pete, great interview 😀👍
Thanks Dorte
Great interview Pete really enjoyable pal, could listen to billy all day fair play for being so open👌
Cheers Kyle, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You are killing it with these interviews. What a pity that the sound was a bit shaky. Legends like this need to be interviewed in real life. Might be worth to text this one properly in English.
Billy had an interesting life story for sure. Thanks Pete. Pete you should have asked Billy if he is over the cancer, and how did he lose half of his left ear?
He is over cancer mate and he lost half of his ear when he was a teenager. Another bloke bit it off
@@ThairishTimes I believe Mike Tyson bit it off, he was partial to a bit of ear.
@@liamdoherty211 😂😂😂
This dude is a great ambassador..for change in oneself and change in one's connection with society. Nature is n xt brother Billy 🏴☠️🫧🪕
1hr nearly, what a story Billy tells, never knew of him, I do now, very interesting to hear his mad experiences in Thai prison,sounds horrific.good to see, he on a good road now a helping the young guys now.👍
Cheers Mark, it was a wild ride that’s for sure
@@ThairishTimes I could see it in your face Pete, 🤣👍
I was in prison and he come to do a talk to help ppl .
Very interesting story and interview Pete, well done.
Looking forward to reading more of Billy's story.
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️☺️
I watched a pray before dawn just before i set off out to Thailand earlier this year.Was a good film.Well worth a watch.Good guest to have on the channel Pete.Nice one and good to see Billy's got his life on track.
Thanks Ryan 👍🏼👍🏼
This might be your best interview yet Pete. This guys life is so fascinating. The things he’s seen and been though. Wow!
Thanks Dwayne
This was great it was one of my favorite interviews! I’ve always wonder how hard it must be to be a foreigner in the Bangkok Hilton!! Good for him that’s he’s doing well now!
Thanks mate
Eye opening vlogging! and also put everything in perspective. I was engrossed to his story and as usual, good job done Pete 👍 and I didn't even need to use translation 🤣🙏
So glad you enjoyed it Oy and no translation too! Fantastic
Hands down, best interview ever on your channel. I saw the movie about his life in the Thai prison and it was hard to watch but nonetheless made you feel immersed there with him...incredible movie. Billy is quite an amazing person and its quite evident, he's a very intelligent person as well. Btw...didn't think I'd need the subtitles but ended up putting them on 2 minutes into the interview...that Liverpool accent is quite strong.
Thanks Keith
Accent is quite strong but he has clear pronunciation. Imagine a thicker accent and loads of dropped vowels then you’d be in real trouble.
Amazing interview Pete, top notch stuff 👍
Thanks Shaun
I feel like I say this every time but your interviews just get better and better a truely fascinating interview loved every second (again) 🇹🇭🇮🇪
Thank you very much Steven. I always appreciate you watching mate
Top bloke is Billy Moore he talks straight and open!
Nice turn around of life, good job Billy!
Interesting video and he’s a character for sure 🙏
Look forward watch this when get back from gym , billy a top man and a credit to himself to turn while life around 💯have watch the movie and read the book
Thanks for this... you are getting some really good people to interview...Fair play Pete!
Thanks Patrick
Amazing video Pete.. your one of the best ..I could watch these videos all day ...
Thanks very much Harry cheers
Such a heart felt and honest account. Awesome awesome interview.
thanks
Watched this again .Fair play to you Billy for being Brutally honest .Funny story about Rambo .But you wanting to visit Thai temples and their culture i'm more than impressed by .To many blokes think it's just a knocking shop and have no idea it's a lovely country with even lovelier people 🙏Thank f**k i never wanted drugs (and i work with a few that are heavy on them ffs) or felt the need to take them ,and just like to get pi**ed at the weekend after a hard working week .All the best 👍Thanks Pete👍👍👍👍👍
My friend got busted with 2 kilo of heroin and a kilo of weed in his hotel room in Bangkok of all places in about 2000-1 with his girlfriend..They both were locked up facing 30 years in a Thai prison and they managed to wangle bail somehow after 3 months and obviously with no passport they made a run for it to Cambodia and went to the British embassy where they managed to get an English passport each and flew to London..Man they were so lucky, I had been there in 1995 and smoked out there but cannot believe they were stupid enough to buy so much with it been dirt cheap anyway..They were going to make a film of it he met the guy who directed train spotting, forget his name but it fell through and never came off..They both in there 50s now and living a happy life in Leeds, but it could have been so different…Take care people 💟
wow they need to write a book at least. That sounds like an incredible story and they were so so lucky
@@ThairishTimes yeah that’s what I said but I think he’s waiting for his parents to pass as they had a bad deal and obviously lost thousands of pounds raising their bail which they obviously never saw again and he especially was ridiculed cos his misses was a lot younger and naive..You can probably still find articles from the papers about it..He was called James gilligan and his misses was called Judith, both from Yorkshire..Lots of love man 💟
Best one yet 10/10 Pete great story billy
Thanks Stephen 🙏🙏🙏
I knew alot about Billy before this interview so i really enjoyed it. Pity you didn't do a two part interview, two hours would have covered everything for people that have never heard of him. I'm over in Bangkok for afew weeks myself and heading to kho chang tomorrow and probably kho kut for few days. Keep up the great work you're doing us proud🇮🇪👍
Cheers Jay enjoy your trip mate 👍🏼👍🏼
This is one of the best stories by far.. What a crazy life he has had! Seen the movie twice now as well.. just brutal in the Thai prisons here that's for sure
Cheers mate, Thai prisons sound absolutely brutal. There’s easily another episode with Billy in the future to cover more of what it was like in a Thai prison
Great stuff Pete….Top lad 👍🙏
Thanks Simon
Awesome video !! So glad he sorted his life out and got a happy ending ! ( a real one 😆)
This is the best of yours that I've seen so far.
I must admit that like everyone who's been through it he's repeated a story so many times that some parts are built up,played down or just forgotten about.
He's a fella I'd be interested in listening to but as he said himself more than once he was 'all over the place'.
I believe he's well intentioned but walking his own personal tightrope in his life,I wish him well.
Thanks Dalton, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼👍🏼
ah that's lovely to hear both accent at the same time. as beautiful as hearing you say "schtory" & a Liverpudlian saying "experience" in a distinct tone. Northerners' souls shine the brightest.
Top man Billy. Very down to earth.
Excellent interview I really enjoyed this one!
Cool, glad you liked it 👍🏼👍🏼
I knew this would be a good one.
I saw his interview with the two English fellah's a couple of years ago.
Interesting man well done getting sober Billy.
Two books I can personally recommend about being locked up in Thailand are.
Welcome to hell by Colin Martin.
And the damage done by Warren Fellows. Both page turners.
I must check out Billy's books sometime. 📚
Amazing story , wow .
Riveting. Billy; if you read this hats off to you and keep it real.
Awesome interview, well done Pete, great stuff
Thanks ☺️☺️
that was a incredible video i hope Billy wins his battles
Thoroughly enjoyed this Pete👏👏👏👍
Thanks Allan
Excellent again Pete! I've read Billy's book fantastic read, how he survived fair play to him.
Cheers buddy, it’s a good read for sure
New subscriber.... I am an American Expat 🇺🇸 living in Cebu in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I enjoyed your life story BROTHER.
GOOD LUCK AND STAY POSITIVE....
Great interview. Wouldn’t want to end up in a Thai prison that’s for sure!
Thai prison welcoming foreigners every day .
Those were some of the more hilarious subtitles I've seen on CZcams
incredible story Billy .. stay strong mate
Cracking interview!
Didn't realise the timescale of Billy's life in Thailand. I lived in Chiang Mai during those years, I'm sure I'd have been in Spicy with him at the time, crazy!
Great interview, had me hooked for the whole hour.
Cool, really glad you enjoyed it
Great catch Pete!
Cheers Paul
@@ThairishTimes some more interview with Paul 36 years can't be pack in just 4 interviews
I'm 5 miles from Billys Speke glad your doing well
great story good luck billy
keep them coming pete,you know how to flesh out a story-each one gets better!
Cheers Duncan, there’s an Aussie up next on the channel
@@ThairishTimes ,shit!,not me I hope,lol
We’ll done Billy. Should be proud of yourself for turning your life around. Good man.
Excellent video mate, I saw the film a couple of years ago. Very interesting story, and now I'll get the book. Cheers.
Thanks Pat, the book is a good read
billys proper genuine a humble guy i love his pods
Hello Billy hope you read this my friend.
I used to sell fish in.speak in 1986 and all round l pool.
I used to sell outside a pub can't remember the name thamks
👀☝️🙌
Fascinating
Such a great honest interview
Awesome interview
Thanks David
love the pre-emptive 'subtitles may be needed'..
Great interview lads, a truly, real-life hero story. Very honest and so interesting.
A Scouser and a Dub... well I'm located in between the two geographically so I didn't need closed captions 😊
Cheers Martin 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪
wow a great story im glad its worked out ok for him, i hope he goes back and films the documentary that would be epic
It would indeed Mark
One of my other real favorites in podcastville....I'm bilingual!!
Best channel in Thailand, great work
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Great interview Pete, what a shtory! Well if Billy can save a few people from traveling down that awful road I guess it was all worth while.
Absolutely Mick
Pete another good interview 😊 try and record your video square so the 2 fit side by side better. A €60 podcasting mic would step up the quality on your end too 😊
Cheers mate, I don’t normally do online interviews. I prefer face to face. I’ll be getting a mic soon though
Awesome interview!
Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Your best interview so far. I'm glad he came through it all.
I thought Klong Prem was the short-term prison, as in sentences of less than thirty years.
Thanks mate, you could be right about that
@@ThairishTimes klong PREM is for sentences 25 years or less only one person has escaped from there as you know get a interviews with him it would be grand I know about this prison from experience when I was in locked up In the drug remand section nearly 30 years ago it was hell but some of the things Billy is saying is bullshit and over dramatic especially for farangs but as lot of things happen I was there for a few months but it was enough especially in the early 90s I met some interesting people it was the university of crime
@@joelmonkley6177 Maybe Billy's experience was different to yours, Joel, because it was later.
Now this was a quite brilliant interview well done paddy !
Thanks, but my name is Pete
You sure you spelt it right Peat ?
Great name Peat Bogtrotter - would that be the Gaelic spelling ?
Great interview Pete, your subtitles doesn't work on Scouser I live in Sydney but work with guys from Liverpool so piece of cake. well done Noel
Ah Noel you know the lingo then nice
English is not my native tongue and damn his accent is the toughest I ever heard
What language was Billy speaking??
scouse
irish ?
