Popular Post webfact Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 JUSTICE MINISTER THAVI Sodsong said today (Dec.6) he is not legally empowered to allow the “sickly” de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict at large Thaksin Shinawatra to stay at Police Hospital beyond a 120-day period. Thavi commented that whether the deposed prime minister could be legally allowed to stay on at the hospital for undisclosed “illnesses” will ultimately depend on Corrections Department director-general Sahakarn Petnarin to decide. The department chief may officially endorse the admission of the deposed prime minister at the hospital if ever extended beyond the 120-day time which is due on Dec.22, according to the justice minister. The justice minister said he himself is not allowed by law to do so otherwise he would be accused of unduly interfering in the business of the department chief.

Popular Post Scouse123 Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 They have a seven-storey hospital adjacent to Klong Prem prison which is adequate. He does not need an emergency operation that the medical corrections hospital is not equipped to deal with. That is the reason prisoners are shipped out to the Police hospital when the medical corrections hospital doesn't have the facilities to deal with complex procedures. It's a giant con. 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really ironic that Thailand is essentially financing a billionaire's hospital stay, simply to pretend that he's locked up. Might as well just set him free and save the taxpayers a bunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukeleto Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 And the well orchestrated pantomime continues all the while time keeps on ticking. It’s guaranteed when Sponge Bob is finally free he will be completely “cured” with him regaling stories of the heroic doctors who brought him back from the clutches of death with plenty of Wai-ing all around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what will he decide ...? Thaksin as inofficial head of the government , is way too influential to oppose ... he will be allowed to stay in hospital for a short time until he is liberated and and allowed to return to his home in february .

This guy will go in Guiness book of records as the most costly prisoner in the world. The daily cost of the supply of his lobsters, prawns, caviar and kobe beef airfreighted in fresh daily would feed all of Thailand's prisoners.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kimamey Posted December 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) One lesson to be learned from this that doesn't seem to be mentioned is, don't trust medical facilities in Dubai. If someone as rich as Thaksin can have a check up and they still don't notice his serious medical issues, then I don't think us lesser mortals should risk our health. Unless you're just going to visit a dictator in Cambodia for a birthday celebration. If you're invited you should be fine.
