So straight from his lavish prison suite to his posh mansion, then back to dirty politics again, what a martyr he is to the cause. Bless his innocent soul!

Typo? Or all part of "The Plan"?

There, fixed it.

 

The prison authorities and police officers are waiting on the 74 year old  PM's every whim , there for him at all times, day or night.

That last word on line four is questionable.

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

 

Or perhaps home detention? 

What would you think, it certainly won't be klong prem ????

They need to abolish the 'wai' already, as it's a formal sign of respect, these jokers using it with a smug grin with a laundry list of dishonest acts is a slap in the face to Buddhism

Truly the hero and saint that the Thai people don't deserve. He's too good for this world!

The committee’s chairman, Somchai Sawaengkarn, told Channel 3 after the meeting that the Corrections Department and Police General Hospital had given a fairly clear explanation of the committee’s suspicions. 

 

We suspect a deal was cut. The highly corrupt and morally bankrupt army desperately did everything in their power to maintain power and cut a deal with PT. 

 

And the morally upstanding man Pita, was cut down at the knees, over a bogus share law, which meant nothing to anybody. But, the objective was accomplished. Ignore the will of the people and do not give them a voice. Ever. 

Is anyone surprised? I'm only surprised it's not already happened. IMO the fix was in before he decided to get on a plane to LOS.

The thai people are owed justice in this case - who is denying the people justice ? What right do they have to overthrow the rule of law? can we have a complete list of who is above the law please..Does this prove the law is up for sale in Thailand? Can we have the details of the deal..the tax paying public deserve complete transparency...as this type of decision is bound to be divisive and cause more problems further down the line.Also there has been no penalty for evading justice all these years....is that the law in Thailand?

Not many active and former state leaders is being imprisoned and if so probably on easier terms as other inmates. Even if convicted, Trump will face no constitutional barriers to be running for the White House again. So not only Thailand, but not fair, the world never is. Who gets away with many things, a rich guy with an army of lawyers or one with a public defender? Money talks everywhere

Correct, of course.

 

Sems to be too early for home detention.

 

So Royal suite police hospital, or is there another option yet not revealed?

Makes no difference, wherever he is, Klong Prem or hospitalised, he is in the custody of the Corrections Department, i.e. he's serving his sentence, he's not free to go anywhere.  On being hospitalised, whether in the prison  hospital or any other whilst serving a sentence, does not put a hiatus on the sentence.

Does Thailand have open prisons?

After he is free, he will still get pestered by foreign journalists asking about his conviction and entry back into politics. His reputation will be that of a slippery eel

I wouldn't push my luck, the royal suite sounds OK, considering he is being treated like royalty, he must have some interesting inside knowledge of someone very special considering the way he is being treated - and I don't mean for any supposed ailment.

about 20 years ago, there was a rumor that he assisted a particular individual

in resolving a difficult situation in cambodia ...

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

Irrelevant,..The interesting thing is that everybody has a price ! Specially in this Thai government !!!

Well that seems pretty clear cut doesn't it!!!

 

Only the most blind and deluded can think his treatment is the same as other similar aged and sickly prisoners!

 

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

 

Never heard of a long prison sentence being commuted within hours of arrival before the convict has served any prison time

 

I bet these hypocrites struggle to lie straight in bed....

That’s a lot of «  Nevers » . Never heard of how prominent / political /celebrity prisoners in the EU or USA are treated ? The same as Thaksin . How can you put an ex prime minister who was convicted in absence ,classed as a » white collar criminal «  into a prison with murderers/serial killers/ rapists ??  Ridiculous !

think you need to check your facts about convicted in absence, from memory he skipped bail when allowed to travel overseas.  

I am now well over 75, but 6 years ago had triple by pass surgery. I also have high blood pressure. I was in ICU for 5 days and in hospital for another 5. I cannot imagine what sort of surgery or medical condition could require him to be kept in hospital for so long.
