Thaksin's Hospital Stay Under Scrutiny as Agency Delays Inquiry
File photo courtesy: Facebook Thairath TV Thaksin Shinawatra's controversial six-month hospital stay has caught the attention of Thailand's National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), but a formal inquiry isn't likely until February, according to Jakkrit Tanlert, an assistant NACC secretary-general. The hospital arrangement is under suspicion as a possible ruse to avoid prison time, raising questions of privilege and propriety. Despite setting up an ad hoc committee to gather evidence, the NACC has hit a roadblock. Information from Police Hospital, where Thaksin stayed supposedly as a critically ill patient, is scant. Beyond receiving two million baht in hospital bills, the committee is waiting for detailed disclosures on Thaksin’s health status and medical treatments. This delay occurs against the backdrop of public demand for transparency. The Network of Students and People for Thailand Reform questioned the apparent leniency afforded to Thaksin, especially following an eight-year sentence for abuse of power, later reduced to one year by royal pardon. His stay at Police Hospital, thought to be orchestrated to evade prison cells, remains clouded in secrecy under the guise of privacy concerns. Meanwhile, Thaksin, the influential figure within the Pheu Thai Party, has returned from 17 years abroad and recently visited Udorn Thani. There, he rallied support for Pheu Thai candidate Saravut Petpanomporn in the upcoming provincial race against rival Khanisorn Khurirang, scheduled for 24th November. Udorn Thani, a stronghold of the Red Shirt movement and pro-Pheu Thai sympathisers, largely backed Thaksin’s candidates in the previous general elections. This political mobilisation highlights Thaksin's enduring influence in Thai politics, as the nation awaits the graft agency's decision. Until then, the matter of his hospitalisation and justice remains unresolved, fuelling debate over fairness and corruption within the system, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-11-13 -

What really grinds your gears in Pattaya
And it just happened, Indians waking 3 abreast on 2nd road just took out a bike Grab rider in front of Bodega bar (all okay). Why would anyone walk 3 abreast on 2nd road. Grab driver rode off but I would have been asking for at least 1000 baht as he dropped his bike so must have had some scratches. -
