Het aangrijpende verhaal van een ex-coffeeshophouder, die ruim vijf jaar onschuldig vastzat in een Thaise cel en de rol die de Nederlandse justitie hierin speelde.

Voor het eerst vertelt ex-coffeeshophouder Johan van Laarhoven zijn schokkende verhaal over zijn onschuldige gevangenschap in een van de beruchtste gevangenissen van Azië.

In juli 2014 wordt Johan van Laarhoven wereldnieuws, als de Thaise politie zijn villa in Pattaya binnenvalt, waar hij met zijn vrouw en kinderen woont. Van Laarhoven hoopt in Thailand rustig van zijn pensioen te genieten, na het verkopen van zijn vier coffeeshops in Tilburg en Den Bosch. Van Laarhoven krijgt een celstraf opgelegd van honderddrie jaar, zijn vrouw krijgt achttien jaar. Ze worden onder meer veroordeeld voor witwassen, omdat ze in Thailand geld hebben uitgegeven dat Van Laarhoven in Nederland verdiende met de gedoogde verkoop van cannabis. Van Laarhoven wordt opgesloten in Klong Prem, een van de beruchtste gevangenissen van Azië.

Maar zijn zaak – en de dubieuze rol van het Openbaar Ministerie hierin – trekt de aandacht van de media. De Nationale Ombudsman komt met een vernietigend rapport over het handelen van politie, het OM en het ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid.
Onder druk van de Tweede Kamer reist de toenmalig minister van Justitie en Veiligheid naar Thailand voor een gesprek met de Thaise premier. Kort daarna komt er eindelijk een einde aan de onschuldige gevangenschap van Van Laarhoven. 

Nu vertelt hij voor het eerst het verhaal over de mensonterende omstandigheden in de hel van Bangkok. En over zijn strijd met justitie – een strijd die hem zijn gezin kostte.

Sleek, upscale and supremely comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Cognac
I did not know that Marc Joseph makes hands free slip ins. I own four pair of Skechers, and I thought they were the only game in town. I decided that I wanted a pair of business casual pair of wingtips. I already own two pair of Skechers Mark Nason wingtips in blue and black nubuck, so I bought a pair of their cognac colored. Perfectly fine shoes, but when they arrived, I didn't like the color, so the search was on! I found these cognac-colored Mark Joseph's and hands down, they fit the bill for what I was looking for! I actually bought two more pair of Skechers in the brown family in the same oxford, elastic lace style: One pair of another style of their Mark Nason line and one pair of their Garza line. So now I am comparing three pair of Skechers to the Marc Joseph's. Obsessive, I know :). Luckily, I have a Skechers store near me for easy returns. The look I was going for is a sleek, business casual that I could dress up or down. Three things that I love about the Marc Joseph's are the beautiful cognac finish: the white yet lower profile soles and the more formal, narrower toe style. The MJ's nailed it with the color. They have a slightly darker, more lustrous and glossier look than the others. The color alone looks classier and pairs well with black pants which I wear for work almost every day. The white soles are exactly what I was looking for. The visible rise is probably about a third of the thickness of the others and are a much more subtle, classier look. They offset the cognac color nicely but are not that in your face, sneaker looking, thick white sole. When I was comparing them to the others right out of the box, I thought they would be too narrow and tight because they looked sleeker and narrower than the others. But they fit perfectly and were very comfortable right out of the box. Upon closer inspection and comparison, I realized the narrower, sleeker look is because the eyelets for the elastic shoelaces are closer together that give the illusion that the shoe is narrower. They compensate for what might create a tighter fit across the top of your foot with two stretchy "gores" they are called on either side of the upper part. The "slits" are nicely finished, and you can't see the stretchy part and add a nice design touch to the shoe. But between them and the elastic shoelaces, they must stretch just enough to make them extremely comfortable across the top. So, if you have a high instep/arch, they should accommodate it nicely. Last but not least, they are very comfortable shoes. I wear a size 8 1/2 to 9 and my foot is slightly on the wide side. I bought the size 9's and they fit perfectly. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, you may want to size up a half size. Because the Skechers have much thicker soles, they might be slightly more cushioned, but the MJ's are cushioned more than enough for my purposes and very comfortable. Plus, they actually just feel better on my feet. I can't speak to how durable they will be as I just got them, but so far, so good. So, there you have it. I rely on other people's reviews a lot when buying online, and especially for shoes. I know it's always a crap shoot, particularly when buying shoes online, so I hope this review helps. Everybody's feet are different, but I highly recommend these.
