Prisoners on remand who are  unconvicted  unlike Thaksin are forced to sleep dozens to a single room and he has the luxury of a private room.  The redshirt faithful had not returned home to the norteast before he was transferred to a private room. I hope they remember. 

Sure wish I owned the brown envelope company that supplies Thaksin!

Surely your average Thai cant fall for this sham. Then again, on it goes. This is a farce in international circles. Who would want to make any economic cooperation or any other pacts with a government that allows childish scams like this to flourish.    

What a load of gobledegook amounting to nothing!

I always thought that kind of information is confidential.

Vaccine mandates changed all that. All police, teachers and hospital staff were told to divulge their vaccine history in order to maintain their jobs this last three years. 

A Swedish friend of a friend died the other day in a Thai prison.  Went in at 120 kg and was 60 when he died.  No talk of fans, faulty a/c or even meds after he ran out of them.  He just died in there.

 

Gee Thaksin, I hope you will be ok.  I mean, surely all prisoners are treated alike?

Thailand is the laughing stock of the entire planet right now not one person believes there's anything wrong with this old POS except the doctors being paid off under the tablet to tell stories,, I'll believe he's sick when we all see the body otherwise it's all BS

The hospitalization of Thaksin traces back to his partial ICU stay during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

That would be an interesting detail to hear more info / clarification about...

 

Did Thaksin come down with COVID and get very sick at some point during the pandemic, necessitating ICU care?

 

I don't recall ever hearing about that... But cardiac and respiratory problems are well-established potential aftermath effects of COVID.

 

Or did he just happen to end up in an ICU for something else at some point during the pandemic?

It is now common knowledge that it has reached the US Supreme Court.  Not all members, at least not now.

 

So, after reading a whole bunch of waffle, what’s actually wrong with this man? ????‍♀️

I just wanna know -- in Thaksin's case, is having delusions of past political grandeur considered a legitimate medical condition requiring treatment???

Most of the planet couldn't find Thailand on a world map, much less actually give a sh*t!

Let's not be naive about this whole circus not being minutely planned up to the last detail. It cannot be assumed that Thaksin would come back to spend the rest of his life in a prison. So everything has been cooked and prepared to a deal that is acceptable for both parties. We now see the playing out of the scenario.

The Army Hospital is much better, but may not be so good for his health.

 

If it is anything like their Military Academy I imagine you will be right if going by the antics of the last 9 years under the unelected PM at that time. It would not be  so good for his health.

Let's make this a precedent for all the prisoners that, very much like Thaksin, spend days and nights on the overcrowded floor with little or no medical care.

I suspected that the fix was in before he decided to return. Why else would he do so?

Definitely there were a lot of deals made.  The sole purpose has always been to get him back.  PT found the one weapon they could use to get him backand that was MFP.

 

PT could have stayed in support of MFP and let the BJT try to form a governement.  It would not have been pretty

OR

PT could form a government that supported the military  desires and gave them their power back as long as the military promised to hold their nose and allow Thaksin back in the country under the promise that he would not do any jail time, Would be first in hospital and then moved to House arrest eventually.

Thaksin never spent days and nights on an overcrowded floor with little or no medical care.

 

He spent a few hours in a medical ward, alone with a physician giving his a thorough medical exam, and a visit from the Deputy PM. Then off to the Royal Suite room 1401 on the 14th floor of the police hospital with 6 people attending to his every need. They even fixed the aircon, which had not been working well.

 

I'm 100% with you on better care including medical care for those imprisoned in Thailand.

He wouldn't have come back to Thailand knowing he would be imprisioned so obviously he had the green light prior to his return. 

All this publicity is just a charade, the deal was done and soon he will be leading a normal life back in his home country. Never under estimate the power of the "Brown envelope" remember

You would hope so. 

Mr.Thaksin is four years my elder. I get directed to a geriatric exam room at hospital. I think I have averaged one admission every two months over the past couple of years.

Lots of bloviating from folks who apparently just don’t like Thaksin but have little to no actual knowledge about his situation.

It could well be that he has had health problems right along the past couple of years and decided to come home to family and pretty good health care while he still could.

I don’t have any particular oar in this race beyond some consideration for a fellow old fart.

No data as such was released. As the OP stated it was only general information within the allowance of Thai laws of confidentiality.

Thaksin has reported many times his health problems. He has also been hospitalized for this well before ! 
Do you really think anyone would take the risk of a major urgency ?

Is thaksin sick? Does the Pope deficate in the woods? ???? 

 

Thaksin looked well in all those kickboxing workout videos he posted online

Other than his family and supporters does anyone else  really care what medical facilities are given to him plus what hospital he stays in ????
