This is terrible. The man is sick and should be sent to home detention. It would be interesting of course to know the death rate of prisoners in jail every year, month, week or day and how many have been helicoptered to hospital. It's all part of the deal.

If course he is sick. He's sick and tired of being in prison. 5 hours is more than enough!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . .   And the laughing at the sheer nonsense went on for several more minutes.   Nothing noted medically in all the labored gibberish except normal blood pressure.   Back to my laughing hahahahahaha . . .

Most of the planet couldn't find Thailand on a world map

And vice versa, Thais do not know where their country is in the World, geographically speaking.

There are plenty Salim who are too rich to bribe who still hate him. 

 

He's obviously paid off half the police and prison service, and he's an ex-cop. 

 

Let's see how he gets on after he gets the pardon everyone knows is coming. 

 

I join in millions of betrayed Thais who don't exactly wish this un-punished felon a long and healthy retirement.

Notably, Thaksin's blood pressure has maintained stability, allowing for coherent communication

Another world leading invention. Presumably Morse Code via 'bleeps' from the blood pressue monitor. ????

Having lived up North throughout his tenure as PM, the Bangkok establishment "stitched him up" in the first instance! 

I hope he now "stitches up " the Bangkok establishment, but IMO it looks more like a collusion to maintain and protect laise majeste. 

IS THAKSIN REALLY SICK? In a word...no. 

He's doing a 'Ronnie Biggs'; the British Great Train Robber who escaped from prison and ran off to Brazil, spent all his money and then returned to Britain for free Medical Treatment before finally expiring not all that long after !

Yes, but they do have a misguided sense of Thailand's importance on the global stage.

Sorry about the poor quality graphic.

 

I can appreciate Thaksins health issues. I believe he has Moneytoomucheritis. 

 

But seriously,  the guy shouldnt be in prison anyway.  He's done what all politicians do. Its a simple matter of a group of haters having enough authority to organise hatred against the man. 

Stick to putting killers and rapists in prison.  If you dont like politicians,  vote them out. 

Oh wait.  I just realized how silly I sound.

So other than a whole lot of bs word salad mumbo jumbo....what's actually wrong with him ?

"concern", "unease", but no medical diagnosis whatsoever. Medically speaking, Thaksin is currently a well man.

How do you know?

Have you taken over as either his Doctor or medical spokesperson?

Are all the health data from all prisoners published?

I always thought that kind of information is confidential.

It’s not private information if you are paid by the public and pending 3 convictions of corruption.  
Then renter the country and avoid a jail sentence relying on I’ll health.

I think you're right. He'll be able to go, and do what he wants. He'll probably be able to leave the country,  with permission of course, which he will be able to get without any problems. Even Mars should that become possible. 

Hope he doesn’t forget to get a re entry permit like the rest of us… ????

Of course he is sick. A sick dirty bastard and chinese gangster.

His critics were less kind…

Unless he's a ticking time bomb blood pressure absolutely nothing that would prevent an ultra wealthy person to go about their daily, soft life. Now, of course he's supposed to be in jail which might add stress. Nevertheless, ridiculous to think that 21c medicine cannot manage billionaire hypertension

Hmmm….is the pope a catholic ?

It is all part of an orchestrated efforts to portray Thaksin as a sick man in poor health to justify a pardon on a grounds of, "Oh, he's harmless sickly old man, no point in keeping him in jail now."

He's sick of being in exile.

Just roll over die. This country does not need you.i

For people with a history, LOS is not a healthy place to be. 

Anything could happen.

Edited August 26, 20232 yr by attento

Maybe he is not a well man and has back to kick the bucket on home turf !

Edited August 26, 20232 yr by stix40

You could not make this stuff up its better than a Christmas cliff-hanger of Eastenders.

 

Is Dot Cotton going to call an ambulance for Nick Cotton...hahaha !

Why don't they just release him, that's what they're angling for anyways .. getting him further and further away from the bars (the prison ones). Stop treating everyone like fools.

In the US, all that info is held behind a brick wall, and almost impossible to obtain.

Having lived here before, during and after the Coup and witnessing the many magical and mysterious wrinkles that went down along the way to making Prayuth lord and master of the realm - well, nothing could surprise.  This one is made to order for the next John Burdett novel.  Bangkok (insert name here) and it ain't over yet. 

Is John still writing novels,  read and loved all of them,
