Thaksin's Hospital Suite Admission Reveals He Wasn't in Critical Condition

Pol. Gen. Sereepisuth Temeeyaves, head of the Thai Liberal Party, has voiced concerns regarding the circumstances of Thaksin Shinawatra's hospitalisation.

 

Thaksin, who returned to Thailand in August 2023 after 17 years in self-exile, was immediately moved into a hospital suite at Police Hospital without undergoing an intensive care assessment. This development has led Sereepisuth to question whether Thaksin was genuinely in critical condition.

 

Thaksin, having faced an eight-year prison sentence for power abuse—which, after a royal pardon, was reduced to one year—was reportedly suffering from critical illnesses shortly after entering prison, leading to a six-month stint in the hospital.

 

Sereepisuth's scepticism was voiced after meeting with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), where he indicated such cases usually require patients to undergo thorough health evaluations in the ICU before being transferred to a recovery suite.

He reiterated that standard medical protocols involve extensive examinations by specialists like neurologists, cardiologists, and pulmonologists before moving a patient out of ICU. "I spent over 20 days in the hospital once," Sereepisuth noted, "and it's crucial for one's muscle mass to recover, which requires time in the ICU before transitioning to a suite."

Sereepisuth has accepted the NACC's invitation to inspect the 14th floor suite where Thaksin stayed, believing that justice demands transparency. He is adamant that despite the passage of time, the suite's condition remains unchanged, hinting at long-standing disparities within the system.

 

He further suggested the potential involvement of Thaksin's family in ongoing investigations, particularly as the Corrections Department permitted 10 relatives, including his daughter and Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, to visit him during his stay.

 

The NACC aims to summon these individuals to ascertain the truth of Thaksin's medical condition, yet acknowledges the uncertainty regarding their willingness to provide information.

 

This incident, shedding light on possible inequality in the treatment of high-profile individuals within Thailand's justice system, continues to stir debate. The broader public and anti-corruption bodies wait with bated breath for further developments as investigations continue.

 

As discussions unfold, the focus remains squarely on ensuring transparency and justice in Thailand’s handling of influential figures like Thaksin, with implications potentially extending beyond his singular case, reported Thai Newsroom.

He actually expects a member of the Shin dynasty to fest up?  I want some of what he's smoking.

Could never happen in Thailand with such a fair, balanced and honest judicial system.
