And as mentioned, Klong Prem Prison is a vast facility and there's more than just one wall on the outside to contend with.

He's walking past the kitchen area and suddenly freezes.

A guard is up and moving around.

He stays low and in the dark.

So still, he can hear his own breath.

Luckily, the guard's just grabbing some water and soon leaves the kitchen.

After those few stops to pick up his previously hidden items, construct his ladder, it's time to move.

And move he does, quietly through the dark and muddy prison.

But of course, he knew what would happen if he was caught.

And it wasn't the death penalty that he feared.

At this point, it was what the guards would do to him if they got hold of him.

So he continues on, when all of a sudden, he's spotted.

Yet again he presses on and finally at around 4.30 in the morning he finds himself at the outer wall with a new problem.

So David is standing at the edge of this creek.

Just across the creek is about a foot and a half of land before you hit this massive outer wall.

He can't just wade through the creek because it's full of barbed wire.

So how does he get himself across?

How does he get his ladder across?

Well, like every good storyteller, David says, you'll just have to read his book for that one.

But he manages it and finally makes his way up the outer wall.
