Story of the most famous Thai prisoner.

This is the story of one prisoner at Samut Prakan Central Prison in Thailand. His name is Panrit Daoruang (previously Nattawud) and he is known by thousands of people around the world as Gor. This prisoner is no ordinary Thai person. Ever since the age of 12, he has been documenting his life on the internationally acclaimed website thailandlife.com. Over the years he became Thailand's most recognized teenager. Newspapers hailed him as Thailand's youngest ambassador. Others said that he had done more to promote Thailand than the government run Tourism Authority of Thailand. His forum for his ThailandGuidebook.com website has over 12,000 members. Gor didn't only promote Thailand culture and tourist attractions to the world. His most popular website at learningthai.com has hundreds of free lessons for learning the Thai language. Everyone agrees that this is the number one site for Thai language learning. The website receives over 6,000 unique visitors every day. That is a lot of people he is helping to learn Thai for free. Now that he is in prison, he hasn't stopped helping foreigners and promoting Thailand to the world. Due to his fluency in English, both foreign prisoners and prison guards often seek him out for help. In his spare time, he has also been writing his autobiography. The first volume was published in May 2007. All of the proceeds from this book are being put into the Educational Fund for his daughter, Nong Grace. She started Kindergarten in May.
