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 No aircon,just fans, his lawyer will be busy sorting out the pardon which has to go before the PM. first after he recieves royal approval 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwikeith Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 2 hours ago, Flory said: It's pretty clear why he had to land on the same day as the PM vote. His safety and eventual freedom are collateral against PT doing anything to rock the boat. Thaksin under lock and key was the precondition for senators rubber stamping their PM candidate. Expect a long, drawn-out pardoning process, and once Mr. T. becomes a free man again, expect some other daggers to materialize to hang over his head (Revival of old court cases? New charges for past actions? Take your pick). Just don't expect a "PT-led" government to be able to do a single thing that hasn't been blessed from on high. I think the pardon will take a week or two, after the PM elect receives royal approval, then in a few more months Yingluck will receive her good news. I think they will use the 17 years in exile as punishment enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It is clear the moment PT struck a deal with the dinosaurs, that Thaksin would not serve much time in jail. I expect him to be out of the country club, within a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic7 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Everything in Thailand is all for "cho" (show). The staged overturning of the election results...the insertion of the predetermined PM...the return of this criminal...and this 8 year sentence. All for show. He'll likely be out in 8 days. Remember 2008, he was allowed to escape and go to the Beijing Olympics on his word he would return to face charges. Everyone with a brain cell knew he wasn't coming back. He should be given 15 years lockup just for that, but again it's all planned and just a big show to fool the gullible masses, of which there is no shortage here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacovl46 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The funny thing is, if he had done his sentence back then, he'd be free already for almost a decade. Having said that, I don't think he's gonna do 8 years because he wouldn't have come back for that. There's definitely some kind of deal in place.
