The Last Executioner is the title of a 2007 autobiography by
Chavoret Jaruboon, the last person in Thailand whose job it was to execute by
gun. In 20 years as executioner, from 1993 to 2003, he executed 55 people,
including one woman. However, Khun Chavoret was not at all what one might
expect of an executioner. In his youth, he was a rock and roller who played the
border bars for the American GIs during the Vietnam War. He gave up his rock
and roll career after marrying his teenage sweetheart, Khun Tew, to take a
“respectable” job in order to support a family, and the spent the remainder of
his years attempting to reconcile the good and bad karma which resulted from
his decision.
Don Linder befriended and interviewed Khun
Chavoret, his family, friends, and even his early band mates, and is now
writing a film of his life which will go into production in March 2013
