Thai Medical Council Probes Ex-PM Thaksin's Extended Hospital Stay
Picture courtesy: Naew Na The Medical Council of Thailand is scrutinising Police General Hospital over the former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's prolonged stay post-conviction, sparking questions about potential preferential treatment. A special sub-committee, led by former council president Dr Amorn Leelarasamee, is delving into the conduct of medical professionals involved in his care, inspecting whether ethical guidelines were compromised. The council recently dispatched a letter to the hospital’s director-general, demanding comprehensive documentation of Thaksin’s illness and the reasoning behind his extended hospital stay. Specifically, they have requested all medical records, the identities of the doctors involved, and their assessments during his six-month hospitalisation] - the period marked from his admission until February 2023. The deadline for furnishing this information is set for January 15th. Further amplifying the spotlight, political activists congregated at the National Anti-Corruption Commission this week, urging a timely investigation into Thaksin’s controversial hospitalisation, which needs completion within three months. Their scepticism grows from Thaksin's visibly active lifestyle post-release, which starkly contrasts the earlier narrative of his deteriorating health. Thaksin bore the expenses for his prolonged hospital stay, which amounted to a nightly 8,500 Thai Baht (£188) for a VIP suite on the 14th floor, as confirmed during a parliamentary session last month. Thaksin, who ventured from a career in the police force to becoming a business mogul and later a political leader, returned to Thailand on August 22nd the previous year after spending 15 years in self-induced exile. On his return, Thaksin was promptly detained by authorities and sentenced to eight years in prison due to charges of power abuse and conflict of interest during his tenure before 2006 - later reduced to a single year following royal clemency. His immediate transfer to the hospital was due to health concerns including chest pains and abnormal blood readings noted during his first night in custody. According to legal allowances, Thaksin’s treatment outside prison was initially sanctioned for 120 days; however, the Department of Corrections extended this to 180 days, citing life-threatening jail conditions. Thaksin, aged 75, was ultimately paroled on February 18th, described as "elderly and seriously ill" at the time, despite recent active public appearances without apparent ailments. This unfolding examination throws the duration of his unsupervised activities and implied ailments into contrast as Thaksin recently completed his prison term last August, while vigorously campaigning for the Pheu Thai Party, which is now spearheaded by his daughter, currently serving as Prime Minister, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-12-19 -

How Has Thailand’s New Income Tax Law Affected Your Spending Habits?
Could be, but the fact is we are almost at 2025, and there has been absolutely no instructions or communication between immigration and TRD regarding taxes. And, my opinion is there never will be. -

I've had enough of the Tourist Ghettos in Thailand!
I used to go through Phrao when the roadworks on the 118 at Doi Saket became too rough on the car. There was an Akha village further up the road where I would buy a weeks' worth of vegetables for 150 baht. I'd agree Fang is a good base for Thaton, Mae Ai, and Doi Angkhan. I did the loop Chiang Rai - Fang -Mae Chan many years ago on a scooter. and remember a good hotel behind the Tesco Lotus in Fang. Have not heard of Doi Lang before, I'll have to check it out. -

Chaos in Canada following Freelands exit
What ? The number 2 resigned right before the budget was about to expose the corruption ? Then it's so calm that the next in line resigned immediately after. Yes just another day in a stable political scene. You should go back to the I support razor blade Biden threads. It's no surprise he wants a UN job. That's been known for years now. -
