I bet they don't.

LOL what a joke'

Falangs, living here for a long time, may know that Khun Thaksin has another, very powerful friend in Thailand, whose father was not a Thaksin fan. 

How is he up for release so soon doesn't he have be in prison and serve time to be released,,, Thai what a joke and speaking of jokes how is Thailands top copper doing,, Big Joke has he been arrested yet with the other 8 top coppers and maybe they will get to visit Taksin in the next bed for there sentences too

Must be getting old... that 8 years seems like just a few months to me.. They do say time passes faster when you get older.

I doubt it

Question 1.  How many other convicted and sentenced prisoners have been treated in the Police hospital in recent years, how many of those were flown by helicopter and how many got to stay in a private room? ( i ask because a guy i know was allowed to die in the hospital wing of the prison without and special treatment)

 

question 2. If his sentence has been cut because he is old and seriously ill why is the prime minister already talking about him having a place as a government adviser, surely if he is too sick and old to serve his sentence then he is definitely to frail to be involved in politics 

 

question 3. How is a politician who fled the country and was later convicted and sentenced on various corruption charges allowed to legally have anything to do with politics again?

 

question 3. Why was his sentence cut? Why not let him be released under house arrest with monitoring bracelet? 

I mean really, did anyone who's living and breathing in this country expected any OTHER out come? it was a foregone conclusion from the moment he set foot in this country and EVERYTHING is going according to plans...

The Thai people got ripped off with Pita being eliminated and now they are seeing what a joke their justice system really is.  Yet the people do nothing and so the politicians laugh all the way to Switzerland.

Not an abundance of intelligent people here and those whom are are silenced...one way or another.

All of them.  Being eligible to apply for parole, as described in the OP is something, that is available to all prisoners.

Shh Lou. 

The hate Thaksin mob don't want to hear this.

Never heard of a prisoner being air lifted to hospital hours after arriving

 

Never heard of a Thai prisoner getting around the clock care

 

Never heard of a Thai prisoner being moved to a luxury hospital wing

Happened with a Chonburi politician a few years ago. Exactly the same. Spent about one night in prison and then..... Then, of course, it vanished from the news so he probably either spent the rest of his prison term there or, more likely, was quietly released out the back door when no-one was looking.

But then we would expect nothing else, would we.

Just because you never heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, everyday in every country.  Wake UP ... it's a reality.  

 

I'm guessing, he is footing the bill for his comforts.

Anybody else pick this up in the linked article - 

Quote

Thaksin had just undergone surgery for an incurable disease and the prisoner had the right not to disclose the symptoms and details of the treatment to the public.

Specifically "incurable disease".......

Considering how little is being revealed, supposedly due to privacy, I am surprised that was slipped into the report..... 

only a stooge would believe this is all normal. 

Another show and tell moment they are world hub in Human Rights. 

Thailand the hub of all hubs! 

The whole situation is an absolute joke this guy has spent less than 12 hours in prison yet will be eligible for parole in February 2024 whilst he lives in luxury in his own private suite at the police hospital . There is one rule for fugitive billionaires and one rule for those with little or no money Thailand has become an embarrassment to the rest of the world

After living here over 20 years I don’t see anything unusual with this outcome.

Since you bring up the subject of intelligence, please note that the bloke who inherited many years ago shares of a TV company should have known very well after the Future Forward leader episode that they were poisonous, that they were worth nothing, and had all the time to get rid of them but preferred to keep blogging and taking selfies. You tell me the IQ level.

No mystery if you think about where you are and who are involved and who pulls the strings  in this ongoing nonsense.

I'm sure the warmth generated from the brown envelopes eases any pain in their nightly struggle of sleeping.

It would be interesting to know how many millions he paid for his royal pardon and preferential treatment as a prisoner.

Are you suggesting some kind of 'bribe' was involved??????

"The prison authorities and police officers monitored the 74 year old PM at the hospital at all times."

 

Typo? Or all part of "The Plan"?

You back under your bridge yet or looking for some pedantic argument to come back with, I shan't wait on an apology scouse even though quite clearly you are wrong again...!

Regardless of your lame insult, my humble apologies, I had overlooked his very recent appointment.  

Now nobody can complain about this, can they?

Think if you care to check, the shares are part of a family trust, meaning he doesn't have the authority to dispose of them. But don't let that get in the way of your fancy imagination.

No never, who could sink so low as to offer a bribe or 2 or 3 or more. 

Thaksin's ascent up the political ladder will be spectacular...

Hmm - 6 months in"detention".

 

I wonder if that was the initial agreement, or has there been some backpedaling on the deal?

Will the 6 months detention be in the luxury royal wing of the police hospital or at klong prem jail?

 

Or perhaps home detention?
