It's been a while since we last had an updated medical report, or is he just biding his time until he's released from 'prison'? The latter. As I thought.

Air con, a fridge and sofa: Thaksin Shinawatra’s ‘VVIP’ prison life in Thailand Activists claim the former PM has received special treatment at a special hospital ward, which stands in stark contrast to the overcrowded prison system https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/11/air-con-a-fridge-and-sofa-thaksin-shinawatras-vvip-prison-life-in-thailand

How very true: Thaksin may be released on October 13th - Thai Examiner Reports say former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra may be released from prison in the coming weeks possibly as early as October 13th. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2023/09/08/thaksin-may-be-released-on-october-13th/

You might be moving to another country and at that time when you do post, how do we know that you are actually in another country? Never heard of you 'till now. Why don't you just spill the beans like any normal folk would. Why so secretive?

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's sentence could be further reduced, according to outgoing Justice Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam. Wissanu said Thaksin might receive another royal pardon on the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, which falls on December 5. Thaksin's sentence was previously reduced from 8 years to 1 year, and since his sentence is now 1 year, he would be eligible for another royal pardon on auspicious occasions, just like other inmates, Wissanu said. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1697954359525707918

Then you need to speak with the Justice Ministry to confirm one way or the other.

Correct and in 4 months time he will be considered for parole. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/former-thai-prime-minister-thaksins-8-year-prison-term-reduced-to-a-single-year

Pardon, Commutation or reduction.....take your pick.

According to news reports from reporters at the justice ministry, inmate Thaksin Shinawatra could request parole after serving one-third of his sentence. Since his sentence was reduced from 8 years to 1 year, he could apply for parole in 4 months from now. So far, Thaksin has spent less than a day in a medical ward inside the Bangkok Remand Prison when he returned on August 22 before being transferred for treatment at the Police General Hospital on the night of his arrival. His time at the hospital is being counted as time served in jail. According to regulations, Thaksin could serve his time at a hospital for up to 120 days if granted permission by Corrections Department director-general Aryut Sinthoppan. Thaksin has been at the hospital for 10 days now, and if he desires to extend his stay beyond 120 days, he can seek permission from the justice minister. The anticipated new justice minister is Tawee Sodsong, who is also the new leader of the Prachachart Party, one of the parties in the Pheu Thai-led government. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1697558102919491809

Old news. You should read the posts above you.

[Update] The reduction of inmate Thaksin's sentence was printed in the Royal Gazette dated August 31, confirming the new reports. This development came only one day after Caretaker Justice Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam announced that the former prime minister had filed the royal pardon. Initial reports said the entire process for requesting a royal pardon could take 1-2 months. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1697532850407715129

A further 12 months confined to his hospital bed. Will he survive that long? His Majesty the King has granted a royal pardon to ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra. Thaksin's prison sentence has been reduced to one year. https://twitter.com/TNAMCOTEnglish/status/1697531446867771610

Nothing heard from the OP since his original post from Wednesday? Whilst other members are responding.......555

Next episode coming up soon. Thaksin will remain in hospital until his application for a pardon is granted. Final episode Pardon granted. Thaksin returns to his home (to look after his grandchildren of course).

Former PM Thaksin Shinawatra has applied for a royal pardon, as confirmed by Wissanu Krea-ngam, the caretaker justice minister. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1697178654340784452

Ex-PM prepares bid for royal pardon - A lawyer for Thaksin Shinawatra is preparing all necessary documents to seek a royal pardon for the former prime minister. https://twitter.com/ThaiNewsReports/status/1696655425746411545

Now, the most worrying condition is his heart, she said. However, there has been no plan to transfer him to a private hospital. As for the request for royal pardon, it will be left to the discretion of her father. The lawyer Winyat Chartmontri, who accompanied Ms. Paetongtarn to hospital said he did not meet Mr. Thaksin and did not know his latest condition. His daughter met him alone. Regarding the request for royal pardon, it is still in the preparation stage, and it is not specified when it will be submitted. (TNA) https://tna.mcot.net/english-news-1230265

Thailand's best-known human rights campaigner has been found not guilty of criminal defamation, closing a legal saga which has lasted for seven years. Angkhana Neelapaijit is among 22 people who were sued by a poultry businessman over comments about the alleged abuse of migrant workers at his factories. He has lost all but one of the 37 suits has he filed, a record for Thailand. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66643591

He must be well enough to leave his hospital bed. The Department of Corrections will allow no more than ten close family members, lawyers or relatives to visit former inmate #Thaksin on Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the VVIP room on the 14th floor of the Maha Bhumibol Rachanusorn Building, Police Hospital. https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1695959693703983165

You may well be correct. Can you see him returning to the Bangkok remand prison? I think we all know the answer to that.

The Corrections Department noted that images of Thaksin during his treatment are protected by law and may not be disseminated. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/08/24/thaksin-shinawatra-remains-a-divisive-figure-even-as-a-convict/?fbclid=IwAR3m6iqQsJhOzc9y3uFvL7DKcEganvU_PgH1s9aIxpIs-gAh_w741I3JHxw
