Dr Warong Dechgitvigrom, leader of the Thai Pakdee Party, released a viral video this week revealing the interior of a VIP room at the Police General Hospital in Bangkok.

 

This room is strikingly similar to the luxurious suite former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra reportedly inhabited for six months during his medical treatment. In a 3-minute, 17-second Facebook video, Dr Warong shared his impromptu findings with the public, providing a rare glimpse inside the controversial suite.

 

Dr Warong, known for his staunch opposition to Thaksin, expressed concern over the opulence of the suite typically reserved for those with supposedly critical medical needs.

 

During his visit, Dr Warong discovered the room contained lavish furnishings, like a dining table and lounge furniture, all framed by sweeping panoramic views. However, it notably lacked standard intensive care equipment like ventilators or vital signs monitors.

The timing of the post and its contents clearly reference Thaksin, as Dr Warong remarked it was unsurprising someone might linger in such a suite. Public reaction was swift, with the video quickly gaining internet traction and spurring intense debate.

 

The online commentary has been biting, with many questioning the ethics behind such extravagant accommodations while purportedly serving severe medical needs.

 

One viewer commented, "Looks more like a palace than a patient room," while another user questioned the inequity, asking whether others under similar conditions could expect such treatment.

 

This incident has ignited fresh discussion around the privileges allocated to influential figures, especially when taxpayer money is involved.

 

Dr Warong's exposé raises pressing questions about transparency and fairness in public institutions. While the video's impact grows, the exact implications for the Police General Hospital and the practices it represents remain uncertain.

I have high bloodpressure too but I don't need to be hospitalized and if I have to stay in a hospital even my private room doesn't look like this.. But yeah I don't have the money as Thaksin has and I can't bribe anyone, and with a PM that has no clue what is going on but only speak what daddy says it is no wonder the country is a mess
