British man endured abuse and injury in Thai prison

A British tourist, Lewis Green, 22, experienced a nightmare while on vacation in Thailand. He was arrested on January 24, the day before his return home after an eight-week trip. During his time in a police cell, he faced severe abuse and mistreatment. Lewis was allegedly drugged with a powerful substance called Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). He believes he may have been targeted and spiked with the drug, which affected his mental state. After his arrest, he endured ten days in a damp cell, suffering fractured ribs and other injuries. He had no food or clean water and had to drink water from the floor. During his time in custody, Lewis was beaten by police officers on multiple occasions. He ended up paying a £7,000 bribe to be released, along with additional fines. Lewis's family struggled to get help as they were unaware of his situation for several days. When he returned to the UK, Lewis was hospitalized to address his injuries and mental health issues. His parents are now raising funds to support his recovery and to warn other travelers about the dangers in Thailand. Authorities have warned that tourists are at risk of being drugged, with reports of increased incidents involving "vape spiking."
