Wanted Suckers! It’s the Boiler Room Calling
Two separate boiler rooms here. In the first set, the Brinton Group, Andrew Chant received an exclusive tip that a joint FBI/Thai team would raid a boiler room. I followed them upstairs and photographed the bust. The pictures were used widely in the UK press as well as Time Magazine Asia. The second set was an expose carried out with reporter colleague Andrew Drummond. While Andrew was on the end of a death threat from the boiler room managers, I was shooting from a bridge, praying they wouldn’t spot me. It was used in the Sunday Mirror.

Bangkok Super ClubThe London based Ministry of Sound nightclub chose Bangkok for their first overseas venue. They created a monster club, capable of holding 3,000 people, complete with state of the art speakers, lazers etc, etc. Unfortunately and expensively for them, the opening coincided with a ‘Social Order Crackdown’. Clubs were burdened with regular police raids where they urine tested partygoers and closing times were cut to midnight. It was forced to close after a year.
