Many prisons around Thailand are being searched thoroughly at the moment. The authorities are looking for mobile phones which are being used by convicted criminals to continue their illegal activities. They are also searching for illicit drugs. To help them, specially trained dogs are being used during the search. These pictures were taken at a recent search of Nong Khai Provincial Prison.

If you are planning on flying to Thailand for a holiday, we advise that you don't deal with drugs of any sorts. A night or two in one of these hotels is far better than your entire life in a Thai prison:
