Thailand’s Corrections Department clarifies the transfer of a nurse involved in Thaksin Shinawatra's hospitalisation, asserting it followed official procedures.

 

On 17th June, the Corrections Department addressed the transfer of Thanyapisit Khoboon, a registered nurse from Bangkok Remand Prison, who facilitated the hospitalisation transfer of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to the Police General Hospital.

 

Thanyapisit has now been relocated to Srisangworn Hospital, Sukhothai, by request, citing the desire to gain further experience and to care for his parents in Sukhothai. This transfer came into effect on 2nd April.

 

The announcement came after media scrutiny following Thaksin’s transfer. The Medical Council had attempted to summon Thanyapisit during an ethics investigation, but he was unable to attend due to his current location in Sukhothai.

 

According to the department, Thanyapisit’s transfer adhered to the Civil Service Act, having been previously delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

His original request, filed on 16th August 2023, was approved once conditions normalised, and it is unrelated to the recent news surrounding Thaksin’s care.

And the final scape goat has been found and will be found to be the only one at fault along with the 3 Doctors. Thaksin was just following medical direction so not culpable but a victim of circumstances

So the perpetrator gets off again everyone involved should be investigated and bank accounts looked at but it won't happen what's the use of a prison sentence when you have money forget about it

Something stinks here - requested in 2023 but only approved in 2025 after being involved with Tony & don't nurses only follow docs orders so not sure any relevance at all
