There had been wrangling and delays and BS I could not believe.... I always felt Thaksin at least got that done. Yes, it was built without delay and it had a MASSIVE budget. Note that on opening day many facilities / utilities were'nt finished / were faulty etc. Also note, it was built to a 30 year old plan with no upgrade to incorpororate recent technology etc., developments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how he fell ill hours after returning to Thailand. And flown to hospital in a helicopter - issue: insomnia. And now pampered in a royal suite. Step by step - soon 'home detention' for a few years then pardon. And his household maids can prepare his hot milk to help him sleep. And sit by his bed so he's not lonely. Possibly no playing with his grandchidren, not well enough, insomnia is a serious condition. Seems that its been well planned. Ethics, not relevant.

Popular Post Lacessit Posted August 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2023 The last thing any government would want is for Thaksin to die in jail, it would make him a martyr to his supporters. While I am not a fan, the northern Thais I know much prefer him over Prayut, who they dismiss as a criminal. 4 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach insisted he be taken to Police Gen hospital. Son had good BUPA health insuance at that time, he asked to be taken to a better hospital, but nobody would listen. Hospital nurses noticed a document from BUPA on his bedside table (whichIhad mailed to him at the hosp., and asked him what it was. Result: nurses, matron, doctors, admin. staff and demanded a %. And they wouldn't accept that he wasn't gtting a reimbursement because at the time BUPA didn't have any cooperative agreement with the police hospital. I visited my son in the non-air conditioned noisy hospita. Doctor was called and he immediately demanded I give him and all others a reward. No reward paid. Son's uni buddies knew the whole story. Son's treatment was all completed but they wouldn't discharge him. His uni buddies developed a plan to secretely / quietly rush my son out of the hospital very early morning (guards mostly asleep) and home. Breakfast time son's phone and my phone started ringing every few minutes. We didn't answer. Edited August 23, 2023 by scorecard 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
