He will be held in a separate medical ward within the prison and monitored by medical specialists. The five conditions include ischemic heart muscle, chronic pulmonary inflammation, high blood pressure, degenerated spine, and abnormal posture. The food he receives in prison will be provided solely by the prison, and his visitation privileges will adhere to the same rules as other prisoners. However, only his lawyer will be allowed to visit during the first five days of his incarceration. #Thailand #ทักษิณ #ทักษิณกลับไทย what hogwash ..... prison food , I don't think Alaskan sea scallops in burgundy sauce are on the prison menu, and I doubt the Sheraton hotel has a specialist medical ward ...... oh' the doc will be in the room next door if he needs anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to put him in the slammer for one or two nights to save face... He'll take over from the puppet elected today soon.

Tom H Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 According to law prisoners can get pardoned with over 70y. of age. Within this year is my guess. Normal procedure actually in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndomitableSpirit Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It is possible that he's jailed for 8 years, but sneaks out every night to go home. In the morning he goes back to a 5-star underground jail-condo. ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the stage is perfectly set for royal, pardon. He appaently has the aforemetioned health issues, and he is over 70.

This morning he certainly looked like master of the situation: police saluting him, homage to the King, hugs and waves for his followers ... The news clips could scarcely have been bettered. The Big Man returns. Even if it takes 2 weeks before he's out of clink, he still makes the dinosaurs look like the very little men they really are. "Master of the situation" ? You believe that BS?

Gilligan In Drag Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Maybe he will be allowed serve as Prime Minister anyway from his prison cell. In the U.S. a president may serve from prison, as you may have heard regarding Onald Rump. I have a feeling though they told Pita to scram for a reason, to make way for Mr. T.

WingFat Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Ah, my broken clock was right; he actually returned. Now, just how long will he actually be in jail ? Not long; no way he would return if there wasn't some grand plan in place for him to eventually become PM again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
