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

Pol Lt Gen Dr Sopnarush Singhajaru, Surgeon General of Police General Hospital, said former PM Thaksin Shinawatra is treated like any other inmate at the hospital. Thaksin isn't in a premium royal suite or an air-conditioned room, but due to age and medical reasons, he's exempt from handcuffs as per the law. He said the room treating Thaksin was converted from a former Covid patient room. Thaksin engages with doctors but retains high blood pressure, he added. The police cordoned off the 14th floor for security. Pol Maj Gen Nakarin Sukontawit stated they aid Corrections officials in safeguarding Thaksin and deny rumors of another hospital transfer. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1694264387958448619

The police are already there. Wake up. Your other bit is nonsense.

If anybody is considering visiting Thaksin tomorrow to say 'HI, welcome home' then you'll be out of luck: Bangkok Remand Prison has announced that there will be no in-person prisoner visits on Tuesday, coinciding with the anticipated arrival of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra in Thailand. The prison has stated that they expect a crowd of people to gather at their premises on that day. https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1693474919282254168

Thaksin arriving at approx 0900hrs, voting for PM approx 1700hrs. I find that impossible for Thaksin to cancel his trip, if the new PM is not elected,

With Thaksin possibly arriving on Tuesday morning and the voting for the new PM taking place at approx 5pm, It's certainly going to be an interesting day.

The question remains, how will Thaksin take care of his grandchildren once he's imprisoned?

The only figure you'll find as to how many times Thaksin has postponed his trip is 20. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/politics/40030342 As far as the actual dates of those postponed trips you will find no mention of these dates on a google search.

The dates that Thaksin has postponed approx.20 times is not important or maybe it is for you. Several previous postponements would suffice.

Fears of political betrayal abound as Thaksin plans to touchdown at Don Mueang Airport on Tuesday Dramatic moments are ahead in Thai politics with the public currently frozen in shock at the developments since the May 14th General Election. This may soon give way to anger and street protests if matters go as some senior and established analysts suggest they will from Tuesday and the days after that, as the Old Guard reasserts itself in power. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2023/08/19/political-betrayal-fears-rise-as-thaksin-returns-don-mueang-airport-tuesday/
