Popular Post webfact Posted August 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2023 Mr. Jatuporn Promphan, the head of the United People's Fusion Group, shared his insights on the program "Thailand Must Come First" on August 29. He mentioned that Thaksin's stay at the police hospital pointed to his inability to withstand pressure, speculating that he might be sent back to prison within a matter of days, reported Siam Rath. He raised doubts about Thaksin's stated illnesses, suggesting that his transfer from prison to the police hospital was met with skepticism. "In the current social climate, things have become much more intricate. If the truth were revealed, it seems that the situation differs from merely sending him for treatment at the police hospital. This could have a more potent impact than the original legal sentencing, as suspicions have lingered from the time he entered prison until his recent relocation to the police hospital. All of this seems to be part of a meticulously orchestrated process," stated Jatuporn. He further explained that new inmates, such as Thaksin, usually experience stress and difficulty sleeping when entering prison, as they must adapt to the new environment. Nonetheless, Jatuporn noted that both Ratchaburi Hospital and the Nakhon 7 Prison Medical Facility are equipped to handle such stress. Regarding the application for royal clemency, Jatuporn clarified that while it is the right of the inmate, it could face opposition. Moreover, adhering to the standard regulations of the Corrections Department, the request must be made by August 22, 2024, as serving one-third of the sentence is a prerequisite. Furthermore, it is also indicated that the newly revised clemency regulations will offer two options: either serving one-third of the sentence or having completed a minimum of 8 years of the sentence. Depending on which criteria the inmate meets first, they must adhere to that specific regulation. Regarding Thaksin, since he hasn't previously served any sentences, he must complete one-third of the sentence before being considered eligible for clemency.

I think he said it was to spend time with his grandchildren. I'm not sure how much time he could spend with then if he's in prison. Unless he didn't think he would be in prison for long. 2 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I doubt if he could survive in prison. I'm sure there's several different strategies in play / on the drawing board to get him quickly to home detention. I'm guessing a next step will play out in the next 1 or 2 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dont confuse me Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 Whilst on the face of it I concur that a deal has been made, if I were him I still wouldn't be 100% sure it's going to go as planned. He's dealing with some of the most corrupt greedy people on the planet and at times must be thinking, "what if these bastards, have me over, take my money and I suddenly die!" Because that thought would cross my mind. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I think they are taking the lowest prison sentence and basing it on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Scouse123 Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) I have said a few times on here, the guy has played all his cards and is now in the custody of Thailand's prison system. His adversaries are now retiring from politics after a dismal showing at the elections or maybe their time is up or just maybe they have milked the cow enough. There could be a master plan and there again nothing is certain in Thailand and it could all blow up in his face. One thing we can all see for sure, they are all very tough when handing down heavy court sentences and ordering extra judicial killings from the comfort of a fancy office, but they aren't so tough when on the receiving end of a Thai prison and squealing like stuffed pigs when it isn't going their way. There's a few more that could do with a few years in Thai prison but it won't happen. Edited August 31, 2023 by Scouse123 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
