The majority of his victims were primarily young tourists who traveled in Southeast Asia along the Hippie Trail during the 1970s. Sobhraj would initially befriend them before drugging them, robbing them, and eventually killing them.
Though Sobhraj managed to escape from jail several times, it was revealed in the end-credits scenes that he was ultimately sentenced to life in prison in November 2004 by the Kathmandu district court in Nepal for the December 1975 murder of Connie Jo Bronzich. He lost two appeals against this conviction. Six years later, the United Nations Human Rights Committee expressed that Sobhraj did not receive a fair trial.

Netlfix's The Serpent tells the chilling true story of serial killer Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim), who presented himself as a gem dealer in Bangkok and murdered travelers on the Hippie Trail in Southeast Asia during the '70s. Nadine Gires (Mathilde Warnier) played a pivotal role in helping Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg (Billy Howle) build a case against Sobhraj that eventually led to his arrest.
As shown in the series, Gires and her husband, Remi Gires (Grégoire Isvarine), are neighbors of Sobhraj and Marie-Andrée Leclerc (Jenna Coleman) while they are living at Kanit House in Bangkok. Unaware that Sobhraj is a killer, Gires introduces him to potential clients, and more often than not, they end up as his victims. It isn't until Gires helps Dominique Renelleau (Fabien Frankel) escape from Thailand that she discovers how dangerous Sobhraj truly is. Gires and her husband then team up with Knippenberg to find...

Drenched in a nostalgic '70s aesthetic, Netflix's true-crime drama The Serpent unfolds at the furnished and ostensibly welcoming Kanit House in Bangkok. While the series initially depicts guests leisurely relaxing by the pool, many dark activities went on at the apartment complex in the '70s. Portrayed by Tahar Rahim in the limited series, Frenchman Charles Sobhraj, also known as the Bikini Killer, welcomed young travelers at Kanit House in Thailand. But his generous hosting was a ruse. Sobhraj developed a chilling reputation for drugging and robbing unsuspecting backpackers. He has been convicted of two murders, but he potentially killed at least a dozen people (which he admitted but later recanted). Long story short, Kanit House was a real place, a hub for Sobhraj's terrifying acts.
