Ombudsman Probes Thaksin's Hospital Stay Amid Preferential Treatment Claims
File photo for reference only Chief Ombudsman Somsak Suwansujarit has set a 30-day deadline for the Department of Corrections (DOC) and related agencies to justify their decision allowing former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's six-month hospital stay, bypassing standard prison time. This investigation follows a petition from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which urges scrutiny over alleged preferential treatment. The NHRC's petition, submitted on 18 April, calls on the Ombudsman to request the Central Administrative Court to annul the DOC's decision, sparking concerns of potential inequities within the justice system. In response, Somsak confirmed that the concerned agencies, including the DOC and Police General Hospital (PGH), have been asked to provide detailed written explanations within 30 days. This documentation will determine if further testimonies are required. Somsak also highlighted the possibility of seeking additional clarification from the NHRC to thoroughly understand the petition's nuances, especially if it aims for a retrospective imprisonment order. The DOC, along with Correctional Hospital and PGH, is under scrutiny to clarify Thaksin’s extended hospitalisation. This follows Thaksin's return from self-imposed exile in August 2023. Initially sentenced to eight years, Thaksin swiftly transitioned from Bangkok Remand Prison to PGH on arrival. After six months, he received a royal pardon, reducing his term to one year, which he completed under parole at home. Given the case's prominent nature, Somsak acknowledged the public pressure but remains optimistic about full compliance from all agencies in providing the necessary information. This inquiry aims to shed light on the perceived discrepancies in Thaksin's case, potentially influencing future policy and public trust in Thailand’s justice system.

Terrazzo vs tile flooring
I was wondering if anyone has done terrazzo flooring for his house. And what are the costs per square metre. I'm thinking to do it for the second floor of our new house. The current plan is to use same tiles (except bathroom) for the whole floor approximately 60 m2. My wife thinks terrazzo flooring is more expensive than tiles and I have the same thought. -

Increases in vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks threaten years of progress
I was born in the 1950s and I've never seen anyone wearing leg braces outside of television and movies. Not one ever, and I was in a big school. Travelled all over Britain, Spain, France in the 1960s, still didn't see any. How is my world so different to your world? -
