James Bong from Siem Reap :

Kay Danes writes in her book "Families Behind Bars: Stories of Injustice, Endurance and Hope" that she was also a director of a bodyguard company based in Thailand at the time she was detained in Laos in 2000.

She claims to have hired out former elite military and police officers. Danes also asserts that she had access to the King of Thailand's own personal bodyguards, and she would sometimes provide close protection services to employers of her husband's security company in Laos.

Separately, Kay Danes' mother writes that Kay called her in Australia on Christmas Day 2000 on Kerry Danes' mobile phone after secretly concealing it during her first two days of imprisonment in Laos.

Where were Kay Danes' former elite military and police officer friends when she tried to call? What about the King of Thailand and his own personal bodyguards? Surely, they did not all forsake Kay Danes in her hour of need.
