Tourist ‘left to rot’ in Thai jail over visa

A British woman who fled to Thailand has been locked up in a hellhole prison and claims she has been “left to rot” after overstaying her visa.

Ellis Matthews, 32, has spoken out on the horrors of being imprisoned in a “rat infested” Bangkok jail along with her four-year-old son Cairo.
Ellis left the UK four years ago to live her “dream life” in Thailand and has managed to garner a 16,000 following thanks to her social media advice.



Brit mum Ellis Matthews claims she is ‘rotting’ in a Thai prison after overstaying her visa.
Several bikini-clad clips show her sharing how her sun-soaked lifestyle is funded by the British taxpayer.
She claims she is gifted £2,300 ($4700) a month in benefits due to her “six mental disorders”.
But the mum, who has previously appeared on reality show Judge Rinder after squandering a £6 million ($12 million) fortune, said earlier this week her tropical escape has taken a dark turn.



The 32-year-old says she is enduring ‘hell on earth’ in an overcrowded Bangkok detention centre.
She alleges police raided her one-bedroom bungalow home in Pattaya, where she lives with her youngest son, before being thrown in jail.
Since being locked up, the Lancashire native has shared several snaps of the Mothers and Children Immigration Detention Centre in Bangkok where she is being held.
The facility has a notorious reputation for being one of Thailand’s most overcrowded jails and is constantly condemned for its rough conditions.
Speaking from the prison, Ellis told the Daily Mail: “This is hell on earth, it’s the worst prison that you can imagine.”



Before her arrest, Ellis boasted online about funding her sun-soaked lifestyle with UK benefits.
“I’m locked up in a cell for most of the day with 16 other people and none of them speak English. It’s so hot and overcrowded that you can barely breathe.”
She also claimed the conditions have left her skin covered in rashes and insect bites.
Both Ellis and Cairo have already got lice, the mum said.
“Nobody is helping me, and I’ve just been left here to rot,” the Brit added.
She even complained about the “disgusting” food, refusing to eat anything other than the rice.
Another major issue Ellis has experienced since being incarcerated is the noise of her fellow inmates.
She revealed: “We can’t sleep at night because there’s so much screaming and shouting. There are 35 women and children in the cell next to ours.
“It’s unbearable in here, I can’t stop crying and just want to get out as quickly as possible.”

A history of controversy
Before her arrest, Ellis had built a following online by openly sharing how she was able to live in Thailand while claiming UK benefits.

Posting under the name @mumontheruninasia, she boasted about getting $4700 per month in Disability Living Allowance, despite having lived abroad for years.
One of her clips shows her in a bikini, holding cash, as she reportedly said: “I picked up my Disability Living Allowance today and I’ve been doing so for the past four years of not living in the UK.”
She added: “So, I receive around £2,300 ($4700) per month undisputable [SIC] money and that pays for my lifestyle out here in Thailand.”

Ellis claimed she qualified for the payments due to her “six mental disorders”, which he said required “ongoing treatment costs to be met by the NHS by the taxpayer”.

Despite her claims, Thailand is not on the list of countries where British citizens can usually receive UK benefits while living abroad.

Addressing her videos, she said they were “just a joke”.
“The truth is that I never got any UK benefits while in Thailand, not a single penny,” she insisted.
“I was just lying in my videos to get more followers and make some money from my TikTok account.”
According to Thai immigration rules, British citizens can stay in the country for three months on a tourist visa, which can be extended for another month upon request.

But overstaying comes with a fine of 500 Baht ($23)) per day.
Ellis has previously claimed she received £6 million ($12 million) in compensation after being let down by Lancashire local authorities during her childhood — although no official record of this payout has been found.
In an appearance on Judge Rinder, she said she grew up in extreme hardship, living in 130 different homes as a child while her mother was frequently arrested in drug raids.
Ellis is also a mother to older children, who remain in the UK.
She has controversially claimed she doesn’t miss them, referring to them as “surrogacies.”
As news of her imprisonment spread, a GoFundMe page was set up in her name, with donations currently sitting at £180 ($370).

But the page description states it was created “without her permission” and at the “request of others on TikTok”.
The fundraiser reads: “Keeping it short but will update. Funds needed to support Mum On The Run and Cairo.” While some of her supporters have shown sympathy, others have questioned whether her story is entirely true.

Can she apply for state execution then her child can be sent to another family member rather than serving her sentence.

Once out, she might be able to make a small fortune on Only Fans. She just needs more publicity. Perhaps she should plead with Mr. Markle for some help. That would get half the UK, the Commonwealth and California all worked up.

Silly woman. No different than anyone else who gets put in a lock up while waiting deportation. I can’t help but think the British consulate would have made arrangements for that child to be kept elsewhere.

What a bimbo. Som.nam na

Ellis Matthews, 32, is being held in the Mothers and Children Immigration Detention Centre in Bangkok with her four-year-old son Cairo, where she says she has been made to endure filthy conditions in a sweltering climate and given rat meat to eat.

The prison has a notorious reputation for its overcrowded, squalid conditions where inmates lack basic rights and are routinely abused.

Thai officials have fined Ms Matthews £400 for overstaying her visa and informed her that she can only be deported to the UK as it is her country of origin. She will also have to buy her own air ticket back.

But she is insisting that she does not want to return to Britain as she fears that social services will take Cairo from her.

Pop Up or Colouring?

There's something obviously very amiss with her and a investigation by social services on her return to the UK is warranted.

I thought books were nearly dead. I gave up on the last two I tried reading. They couldn't compete with youtube or the entertainment on TD.

According to Thai immigration rules, British citizens can stay in the country for three months on a tourist visa, which can be extended for another month upon request.

But overstaying comes with a fine of 500 Baht (£11.40) per day.

Ellis has previously claimed she received £6million in compensation after being let down by Lancashire local authorities during her childhood — although no official record of this payout has been found.

Despite her claims, she is nothing but an attention seeking serial liar and fantasist, using her outrageous stories to build up a following on social media from those who condone such behaviour. Certain news outlets thrive on reporting the activities of human garbage because the public, thats you and me btw, love to read about them and vociferously proclaim our outrage and disgust.

I hope the mucky slag rots in jail for a few months, but doubt she'll mind getting her carpet munched on a regular basis by her cellmates, even though it must reek like an overipe durian in that sweatbox.

My only sympathy is for the poor kid.

She looks like an alien hybrid.

She could probably quickly make a couple of million dollars on Only Fans if she's as big a slapper as Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips. It's speculated that those two have each made several million dollars on Only Fans with their depraved antics. They use their social media to drive their depraved OF income.

Depraved? A little judgmental there.

You don't think fucking 100 men in 1 day could be described as depraved?

Both 39TG and armstrong seem much more informed about Only Fans than I am. I literally know nothing about it beyond its existence.

Don't use only fans but those two women he mentioned are massive in popular culture due to their extreme sexual activities that most would label as depraved.
