Maybe the question is: How often does this already happen?

Not every criminal is in public like Thaksin. There might be some cases with less publicity.

All the time.

What is the issue here?

I always have to pay all of the costs when I stay in a hospital here in Thailand.

 

Presumably he his also having plastic surgery. He certainly looks different in the photo in the main picture

Paid for with money from his loose change jar, a mere pittance not even worthy of thinking about.

No suprise here.  Personal physicians,  gourmet food, personal hairdresser why shoudn't he pay for the five star treatment he received.

Minister Tawee disclosed Thaksin’s hospitalization was justified due to a “complex” condition, too challenging for prison facilities.

 

A wondrous condition that didn't stop him from flying around the world the day before returning to Thailand, or traveling around the country giving speeches as soon as he was free. Truly complex.

"Minister Tawee disclosed Thaksin’s hospitalization was justified due to a “complex” condition, too challenging for prison facilities to believe."

I bet he did... and some more on top.

According to Minister Tawee, Thaksin paid 8,500 baht per night for his private room and covered all medical expenses. Despite the hospital’s involvement in the universal healthcare programme he introduced as Prime Minister, Thaksin chose to pay out of pocket.

Hmm, which makes Thaksin "more equal" than other prisoners; i.e., he got privileges that others probably won't get...:whistling:

To think that this is the guy whose 'war on drugs' when he was in office resulted in more than 2000 deaths the majority of which were entirely innocent. He should have been locked up for life years ago.

Of those 2800 that died... how many would not be dead if they were not involved with drugs ?

So that's the price of "Freedom" 'eh?  Ha ha ha ha ha!
Up next - Little sister takes a hospital stay after returning from Dubai.  Seriously - how can you not be cynical?  :thumbsup:

The main problem here is that his medical condition hasn't been disclosed to the public and will probably stay that way. 

Will Thaksin give permission for his long term stay medical condition?  Of course not.

 

Perhaps it has something to do with his melanin levels? I have never seen a 75 year old with jet black coloured hair like his.
