This is Klong Prem Prison. We have rotated it a little so that it fits square on this page. You can see that there is a moat that goes around the outside of the walls. If you look closely on the wall you can make out the watch towers.  Number 1 shows the main entrance to the prison. The grassed areas are restricted for the contact visits with the prisoners that take place a couple of times a year. Number 2 is Building 6 which is where David had his cell and where he started his escape. The red roof building to the right is the bakery. Number 3 is the main hospital. 

This is the actual route that David took to escape from Klong Prem Prison just over ten years ago. He first cut through the bars of his cell window, and then with the aid of a plank and bootmakers webbing, slid to the ground. He then walked past the area where he had his "office" and then mistakenly climbed over an inner wall into Buildings 5 & 6. He climbed back over the wall to the AIDS hospice and then used a bamboo-and-picture-frame ladder to bridge an internal moat. Then over an electrified wall. He saw one guard asleep and one guard awake. As he walked along the outer wall by the moat, he used an umbrella to cover his face from the guards in the watchtowers. It was already dawn by the time he climbed his last wall. He walked over a little bridge used by stallholders, and past arriving guards. He then reached the main highway were he hailed a taxi.
