Quick question.

Is Pattaya 2nd road two way traffic or is it still one way?

And why all the secrecy as to what surgical operation he had recently?

We were never short of medical updates from the beginning.

What this report didn't include:

The cost includes 16.8 million baht for fuel, 11.7 million baht for operational costs, and 1.5 million baht for food and beverages. The estimated cost for food and beverages is 29,400 baht per person for the round trip or 14,700 baht per one-way trip.

Senator Tawin Pleansri warned the new government that if they continue to allow blatant inequality in the so-called incarceration of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, it could lead to more conflict in the future.

"Do not keep trampling on the feelings of the entire country until they can no longer accept it because it could lead to a major problem," he said.

He said the government's promise to uphold the rule of law would mean nothing if they still permit wealthy and influential individuals to undermine the justice system, such as the delays in the prosecution against former culture minister Itthiphol Khunpluem, the special privileges granted to inmate Thaksin, and the Red Bull heir case.

He urged the government not to use the excuse that they are only following regulations because people can see through such claims.

In other words, GoFundMe with added entertainment.

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

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.

Doesn't Wissanu in the latest update at the top of the page, announce there will be no reductions from the I year sentence? 

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

The news just revealed he has received a total pardon and his sentence reduced to one year. Rejoice.

 

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.

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.

A further 12 months confined to his hospital bed.  Will he survive that long?
