Not true, at all, Klong Prem has an onsite hospital where prisoners are treated, they are not left lying around to die and, as the DoC and PGH have confirmed, are treated outside prison if necessary.

 

"..how many other prisoners are at the same hospital with similar disease?"

How many other prisoners have the same conditions?

 

The Chairman of the House Police affairs committee, whatever that is, and  a Move forward MP with him, were refused entry to the wards where he is supposedly staying. I wonder why that might be (wink wink).

No... I thought not... None of us can...

How can your Thai-bash be valid if no one can prove that he is not ill?  Thought so...it wasn't valid.

MP investigates Thaksin’s alleged 2 million baht treatment at Police Hospital

What a shame the Thaiger's headline deliberately, falsely misconstrued what the article actually stated.  The "2 million baht treatment" relates to the cost of repairing the CCTV system, not to the cost of Thaksin's treatment that the DoC is obliged to provide for the prisoner...

"2 Million Baht

Regarding the hospital’s CCTV system, Chaichana requested the prime minister to use the 2 million baht budget allocated for overseas trips to repair the defunct CCTV system. He found that not only the building but also the surrounding area’s CCTV system had been faulty for several years".

Heart Valve disease and not allowed to check if he was there. Yeah Right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They weren't "prevented from checking if he was there", they could do that through the DoC that controls that section.  They were prevented from forcing themselves on a hospital patient who (like all of them) has the right not to receive visitors, either in the hospital or in prison.  If he was in the prison they could only check with the prison authorities whether he was there, they could not force a visit on a prisoner if he declines it.

The Thai government likes to ballyhoo the “ world class” medical treatment available here. Perhaps a factor in Mr. T’s decision to return?

I am amazed at the number of “ experts” ( has been drips under pressure) on this forum pontificating about Thaskin’s condition.

Sometimes the “ powers” actually tell the truth, however inadvertently.

So, where are the numbers? How many prisoners have such conditions or worse? How many were transported with a helicopter at night to another hospital? How many stayed for weeks of months at those special hospitals? And how many of the serious ill prisoners never received any special treatment?

The answers to these questions would show how special Thaksin is. I never saw an answer - or even these questions asked officially.

We can all guess why nobody asks (officially).

How convenient that tge police hospital has a broken cctv and it’s been broken for several years . And those  who visited the hospital were not allowed to see the patient as a government minister I would of thought they would be allowed to have a chat to make sure that he was being looked after properly

Even if the CCTV was working it would not be revealing anything about the patients, they do not have cameras trained on them!  

 

"...as a government minister I would of thought they would be allowed to have a chat..."

He would be allowed a chat if the patient agrees to the visit...patients make that choice, regardless of who the visitor is and a government minister has no more status in that situation than anyone else.

I know you refuse to believe anything unless you have coconuts link to read... However, I believe my cynicism is well justified given the systemic levels of corruption with Thailands power players and the manner and timing in which events unfolded such that he didn't spend any time in a 'real cell'.... (or do you also want proof of that - I think you could find a coconuts article to quench your pedanticism).

 

... the public (any myself) not having proof that he isn't unwell is most certainly not proof that he is unwell in this case - we'd be foolish to believe the spin.

I read it.  Those receiving visitors in hospital (or prison) do not have to "sign waivers" they just have to agree to seeing visitors.   And, just in case you did not read it properly, there was no indication that those patients/inmates were spoken to against their will.
