And today a story of an inmate with stomach cancer in critical condition who is urged to go to the hospital by his lawyer.. but he jailed for section 112 and probably don't have money.... All same treatments??

Yes a Swedish friend of a friend died in jail about 3 weeks ago because he ran out of medication for a pre exixting health problem.  He had no money for meds so they let him die.

[Sydebolle]

All OK, all good - everyone is the same in the eye of the Thai law. Some are just more equal than others and I had this idiotic imagination, that it might be related to some mail, envelopes or statements - but, as said, imagination only ???? 

[Bobthegimp]

Two pages of replies from the pearl clutchers and hand wringers.  Face it boys, what we were spoon fed as children (equality etc.) was a crock of <deleted>. There never has and never will be the type of equality you're hoping for. Accept how the world has always worked and make a donation to your favourite Thaksin charity.  Hell, why don't we here on Asean Now send him a "Get Well Soon" card and a Starbucks gift card.  Maybe Thaksin will waive our visa fees or give us citizenship.

I'd love to see some statistics released.

 

How many prisoners have been helicoptered from prison to hospital this year? How many of those in the middle of the night?

 

How many of those prisoners who have reported that they feel sick have been given the opportunity to see a doctor within say 24 hours?

 

How many of those prisoners who did get to see a doctor were taken to hospital? How many were fobbed off with a bag of paracetamol or the likes?

 

That would go a long way to establish that it's standard procedure for a sick inmate to be helicoptered to hospital in the middle of the night. Or not.

In the eye of most Thai, Thaksin seems to be getting the preferential treatment by the prison authorities and strongly backed by the government and all this for one man who brought shame and disrepute on the Thai government when he did a runner when he did and now he's the darling of the Thai government.

So the guy who escaped from the illegal military junta which stole democracy from the Thai people "brought shame and disrepute on the Thai government" eh? Jeez! 

I think that the shame and disrepute charges should point to said illegal junta. 

Nearly time for your 15 minutes of hate at the Ministry of Love for you coup apologists.

In most countries high level PM. Presidents etc. get a higher level of care. .. heck look at El Chapo he was allowed viagra.. .. until he got to US…. I’ve seen prisoners in. The Govt hospital in handcuss and leg chains… just hope if you’re banged up you get some special treatment… Note 79 years old no handcuffs…. 

[kidneyw]

Do they publish a price list?

[sambum]

I bet some doctors are rubbing their hands and planning for the future on the back of these regulations!

 

I wonder who will "police" the doctors?

[phetpeter]

Sounds like it is time to bus the people down and voice their opinions on why he is getting 5-star treatment, bring all the families down whose relatives are not getting the same treatment and who are suffering in prisons around the country. and that he should also be behind bars not having 10 visitors a day if he is so ill, perhaps someone can find out if he also has a phone.

[thailand49]

They come up with all this junk say It with a straight face all do with a nice haircut freshly dyed hair black. I think these guys actually believe what they are selling.

Just publish a statistic about the (critical) medical conditions of the prisoners population and how many of them are flown at night to a better facility and how many stay in those better facilities.

Like: How many other prisoners are treated like Thaksin? Hundreds? Ten? Or less?

And how many prisoners are in worse health than Thaksin?

The numbers will show reality. Just publish them! 

 No

[shdmn]

Who could have predicted Toxsin would basically spend zero time in prison.  By all accounts he was just put in some five star executive hospital prison.  Probably had his own wing.

 

And Thailand wonders why they can't seem to get rid of their corruption problem.  It's because it's coming from the top down.

His illness is not contagious ,and prisoners are allowed to make phone calls, maybe no land line In his room????

Now I have more life-threatening condition than he has where is my helicopter?

In Thailand, the media has NO strategy other than ensuring they don't rock the boat or tread on any important toes.

Same worldwide Blackrock controls the media, journalists are now censored, and get fired if they speak out, freedom off speech is no longer, take Julian Assange as a prime example.

Prime example of what?  Living in an embassy for seven years and finally getting kicked out because he smelled so bad he was stinking up the place?

Is anybody in Thailand wondering about that?

Some time ago I asked my gf about corrupt officials in her local administration. And she told me something similar to: That's part of the job. If they wouldn't make that extra money who would want that job. Like this is well understood by everyone, why do you ask? 

So much about that.

In what country does the poor have same treatment as the rich.

 

Typical clueless Thai bashing.

There was the Pan Am bomber (killed 270 people) jailed for life in UK, then released in 2009 on "compassionate grounds" as it was thought he was dying of cancer, tho given a life sentence. He died 3 yrs later in 2012. Got a hero's welcome in Libya, I recall....

So the Bangkok Hilton is not a bad place to stay after all... I will have to check my health insurance coverage for chopper flight coverage and medical.
