Since convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra returned to his motherland by a private jet on August 22nd of last year, the Thai public has only had brief glimpses of him. From that point onward, his wellbeing has become shrouded in mystery, not because he has been sent to serve a prison term, but because he vanished within the confines of the Police General Hospital since the day of his return. This has sparked a public outcry.
