Being allowed out of hospital doesn't automatically indicate that he's not sick. Whatever his medical needs may or may not be, someone with his resources can surely arrange to receive medical attention at home that would probably be as good as what he was receiving in hospital.

Yes, as in many countries , home nursing is a choice. a nurse or two comes by every day , checks blood, tension etc, and as Thaksin is very well off he will have his own doctor come every day too. Lots of day dreamers on here.

Good to see your change of attitude. Now let's have some justice for Yingluck by bringing her back home. 

Do you think all wanted criminals should come to Thailand and get the VIP treatment or only the rich once or what do you suggest?

 

What do you think will all the other corrupt politicians learn from this? Be honest, or you go to jail? Or will they learn something else?

By 6:32 am, the van had arrived at the Chan Song La residence, where supporters and observers had gathered in front of his house. Police officers from Bang Phlat police station were deployed to help direct traffic in the neighborhood.

The red carpet treatment continues.

All you need to know  about Thailand. Locks up folk for years who shout at hold up a car but lets a corrupt convicted criminal ex PM out. All you rose tinted  Thai apologists should know archaic Kingdom of Siam is thriving

It doesn't matter to the Thai people what you, I or any other farangs think or say. It is up to the Thai people what to do about it.

 

As for your assertion quote "They are duplicitous, greedy, corrupt liars".

 

My answer to that is, pure unadulterated BS.

14 million Thai people would disagree with you .

Italian Mafia bosses are released when they are terminally ill. Thaksin's could be a similar situation. He may only have a few months to live.

 

 

I somehow feel Teflon Thaksin will be kicking around for quite a while.

[TheFishman1]

The image of him is almost laughable with an arm, brace and neck brace. I guess you’re trying to cover all bases but the day before he came in and when he flew it in his private brand new jet, he looked pretty healthy to me. The whole thing is is unbelievable. How could the people believe this crap TIT

This image raises doubts about how healthy the Thai medical system is.

 

He looked quite chipper when he returned. Six months later he looks near death. 

 

 

The whole thing is a charade so nobody loses face . He'll be primeminister next month you watch.

Too ill to be in prison, but not too ill to go home.

You forget that he is a wealthy man he can build a small hospital at his home and employ expert medical staff to give him the same, or better, care as at the police hospital. However the government will not go to the considerable expense of building such facilities at the prison. Therefore I agree he perhaps is to ill to go back to prison but not too ill to go home where he will receive further medical care.

It's possible that he had a major procedure on his heart. This kind of procedure involves inserting a catheter at the artery in the neck which is directed under x-ray control to the heart. Immobilisation of the  neck and arm is to stop the arterial wound from tearing open.

[Red Forever]

The hate mob's comments seem to have attracted support for Mr T.

Wonder how many of these sad old farang obsessed with abusing Mr T will be gathering at the gates of the Thaksin residence holding placards saying "Lock him up!"

Yeah, thought not.

Welcome home Mr T.

Good point.  How are you supposed to look if you have heart issues??.

I live with CHF and PAH and spend a lot of my day attached to an oxygen concentrator but still look as 'hansum' as ever........ but certainly not as mobile.......

I think the point is he was not well enough to be released from hospital until the day he was paroled from his commuted jail sentence. And you seem to be believing that.

You seem to think that the government is willing to pay for the same facilities at the prison that he will pay for at home. i.e. spend more money on Thaksin than on other prisoners and give him the special privileges of private nursing and medical care at the prison. Think logically your comment doesn't make sense. He was a prisoner at the hospital and could not be discharged back to prison because there are no facilities for his care at the prison. Now he has been paroled he can be discharged to private medical care at his own home

You are indeed confusing me...... 

They did pay for all these facilities for some 6 months, and more. Something other prisoners do not aspire to, indeed some die in jail for want of medical care.

Yep it's the usual comments trotted out by amateur medical 'experts' 

"He doesn't look ill to me, therefore he is not ill"

[IamNoone88]

Its a charade. The van had curtains, conveniently left open for the photographers. Cheap props of a neck brace and unrelated arm sling conveniently discarded once he was home for his next photo op by the pool. Recovery will be quick i have no doubt.

[ignore it]

Although held for months incommunicado, no press visits, no politicians coming to call or inspect, Taksin leaves his prison with a decent haircut and not a single grey hair. 

Funny ain't it?

They paid for EXISTING facilities at the hospital. The did not pay hundreds of thousands to have those same facilities unnecessarily duplicated at the prison. Thaksin has paid for those facilities from his own wealth to be duplicated at his home.

But you are the real medical expert of course, because you have offered already more medical advice than any other in this thread

Yes I do know what I am talking about. I happen to be a former registered nurse. We can go through the same procedure I have been through before on this forum where I publish a redacted copy of my qualifications. I then make a complaint about your attitude.

A very public exit.  Unlike his rumoured previous excursions.

Like the times during his 'exile' that he allegedly flew in and out of DMG 'under the radar' on a private jet handled by MJets
