Popular Post webfact Posted April 10 Popular Post Share Posted April 10 Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra‘s health condition has sparked controversy, with conflicting reports emerging about his fitness. Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong claims Thaksin’s health is dire, but questions arise after photos surfaced of him lifting weights. Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s health has become the centre of a heated debate after Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong asserted his deteriorating condition. Tawee’s remarks came amid mounting criticism from Warong Dechgitvigrom, chairman of the Thai Pakdee Party, questioning Thaksin’s early release on parole. Warong’s doubts surfaced when Thaksin’s daughter, Pheu Thai Party leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra, shared images of Thaksin engaging in physical activities at his Bangkok mansion. Warong argued that Thaksin’s ability to lift dumbbells contradicted parole eligibility criteria. However, Tawee defended the decision, citing medical advice indicating that Thaksin’s exercises were therapeutic post-surgery. According to Tawee, doctors recommended aqua therapy to aid Thaksin’s shoulder muscle recovery. The controversy deepened when Warong claimed an investigative report alleged Thaksin’s prolonged hospital stay breached correctional regulations. Yet, confusion ensued when a reporter misinterpreted the report as a medical assessment, prompting Tawee to deny knowledge of any medical files’ leak, reported The Nation. Despite the uproar, Tawee reaffirmed the Corrections Department’s reliance on medical expertise in proposing Thaksin’s parole. In related news, Thaksin reported to the Department of Probation officials in Bangkok Noi district at the Bangkok Probation Office 1 on Monday, March 18, one day ahead of his scheduled visit. This step is a part of 74 year old’s parole conditions, having been convicted and now serving his sentence in a more lenient form. During his visit, the area around Bangkok Probation Office 1 was under heightened security, with access and parking strictly controlled. The duration of Thaksin’s visit was brief, ensuring minimal disruption to the daily operations of the office. In other news, in an extraordinary meeting, Srettha, Thaksin, and Somchai Wongsawat gathered for dinner on March 15 in Chiang Mai. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of The Nation Source: The Thaiger 2024-04-11 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 3 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returning to Thailand was aan arranged deal, his move from lock-up to private police hospital was a scam, and his so called "dire" health is just a joke. Since parole he's been healthy enough to travel to Chiang Mai, hold numerous meetings with PTP members, and now apparently take to playing with the grandchildren in the pool.. showing no surgery scars? 3 2 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Excogitator Posted April 11 Popular Post Share Posted April 11 I wonder what's up with all the hate against Thaksin in this forum? He's no better or worse than any other ultra-rich person in Thailand (all of whom have been up to things that would lead to a defamation lawsuit against anyone bold enough to point it out..) Controversial he is, but to his defence, at least he was a prime minister lawfully elected by a majority of the people, ousted by a military junta guilty of far worse than him... 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted April 11 Popular Post Share Posted April 11 Why is this still in the news? Everyone knows the entire situation is corrupt and Thaksin is nowhere near as sick as those who suck up to him say he is. No-one is fooled by the play-acting, everyone knows the truth, so why keep bringing people out who pretend otherwise. No-one believes them. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wife is absolutely right. Anyone rich and powerful can largely act with impunity here, unless they go up against, or are viewed as a threat by, someone even more rich and powerful, of course. Which is why Thaksin had to flee the country... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbee2022 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Honestly, I'm getting bored with him and his case. Since we have no bribery and "deals" in Thailand, we can rely on Thailand's police and justice system 100%. Thank you Thailand🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
