Posted DCO Thailand The Pirates of Tarutao Paul Adirex In 1938, the Thai government established a penal colony on the island of Tarutao in the Andaman Sea, 3 miles from British Malaya. After the Japanese invasion of Malaya in December 1941, Lieutenant Kevin Knox, seven other British soldiers, and an American soldier of fortune, Collin Cunningham, are imprisoned on Tarutao as prisoners-of-war. Continuous shortages of food and medicine force the prison director, Khun Apipat, and the guards and inmates into committing acts of piracy on ships passing near Tarutao. The 9 POWs must choose between joining the pirates or upholding their moral code and facing the consequences. Knox falls in love with beautiful Malatee, the half Thai, half Sea Gypsy daughter of a Tarutao fisherman. Their love affair has drawn Malatee into a situation that threatens her life. Danger, suspense, and action revealing courage and cruelty dominate the story, reaching its climax in a chess match of wits between Khun Apipat and the British forces for control of the seas around Tarutao after World War 2.
