Thaksin Shinawatra, who is receiving medical treatment at the Police General Hospital, can receive visits from blood relatives from August 28, said Bangkok Remand Prison chief Nastee Thongplad on Thursday.

 

No one can visit Thaksin during his first five days in the hospital, Nastee added.

 

The former prime minister, who was serving his first day of incarceration at the Bangkok Remand Prison, was transferred to the Corrections Hospital and then to the Police General Hospital in the middle of the night of August 23.

After his arrival in Thailand from his self-imposed exile on August 22, Thaksin was taken to Bangkok Remand Prison, to serve his 8-years in prison. Due to claimed health issues, he was placed in the prison’s hospital. In the middle of that night, he was transferred to the Police General Hospital by the Corrections Department, when he developed chest tightness and could not sleep.

 

In a statement, the department said its hospital is not adequately equipped to cope with Thaksin’s ailments, such as heart disease, and decided to admit him to the Police General Hospital.

So is this meaning that every prisoner with heart disease and similar is being treated at a world class hospital outside of the prison walls?

I wonder if there a same treatment for protestors in hungerstrike... They were in a worse condition than Thaksin. I myself have a high bloodpressure too and I can do everything in fact. Seems indeed questionable.. but is was expected of course.. So called bad health don't need to go to prison. Double standards in Thailand?? that is not normal.. Look at the conditions in most prisons especially when there was Covid.. There wil more inmates with this kind of symptons and they are not taken care of

So no visitors till the 28th I guess they already figured out he’s gonna be there a while usually when you go to the hospital with two or three days to get released because the doctors have fix the problem of giving you the correct medication to fix the problem I guess in this case there. Long time TIT

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was airlifted from prison early on Wednesday morning to Police General Hospital in Bangkok after becoming ill just 12 hours after being admitted to the medical wing of Bangkok’s Remand Prison on Tuesday.

:cheesy:

 

The fix is in, apparently.

I wonder who is to blame though.

 

I hope that it goes wrong and that bad man ends up in a Thai jail rest of his life.

We will soon see Thaksin getting his police rank back again. He retired as a captain but promoted himself to Lt. Col. when he was PM. He will probably emerge as a major general soon.

Major general, so eligible to be the next police commissioner - the big chief. Nice.

They do not hand out life sentences for the petty crimes K.Thaksin is accused of.

Many years ago, Singapore recognised that to succeed in international business, you need to speak the international language - English in order to be able to communicate. That has been one of the reasons for its success.

 

There are of course, many languages spoken on the island as the population is made up of people with diverse national heritage.

 

However, a couple of years ago the Singapore government was concerned that there were a significant number of childern who were not proficient in English. That was also creating problems over which language lessons should be taught in.  The report I read stated that it had become compulsory to speak English whilst at school but recognised that kids might well speak a different language at home.

 

They do of course, learn other languages as part of their education and I believe many schools require them to learn the 'mother tongue'.

 

Nevertheless, just about all the modern signage in Singapore is English first with some signs in Mandarin as a secondary - which begs the question, why would Thaksin complain about the language on airport signage being in English?

Ringing the populist bell.

Will he get Conjugal rights ? 

Should Khunying Potjaman dust off the cobwebs or will his old flame the luk thung singer Bai Toey come and perform for him in the hospital for a million baht and a free house again.

A couple of times when going for check up I’ve seen prisoners hands and feet shackled at Govt Hospital. 

But not Thaksin, far too delicate and unwell for that.

I'm sure that all prisoners with high blood pressure and sleeping problems, the first night in prison, get a helicopter ride to the police hospital.

.... I would assume that he is only jet lagged!!

So, amazingly so, for the medical hub of SE Asia, - they already know he'll be well enough by Monday.

Back to the slammer on Tuesday, then!
