Unless in the Covid period or when you terminal ill a hospitalization is not 180 days.... So everybody can claim what they want, but this is wrong only by common sense already, but yeah I did not get an envelope.

 After his hospital stay it's a miracle and he's out advising the government and touring around like nothing but if you have money it doesn't matter in Thailand

Should have had all the witnesses hooked up to a lie detector..... only way to get the truth.

Turns out the hardest part of Thaksin’s sentence might be answering why he never really served it.

No mystery... Thaksin bribed the medical staff.  Case closed. 

Yes, like you, I was not gripped. Is anyone?

after months in hospital on deaths door he made a miraculous recovery within days of leaving

 

 

he should have served his sentence in prison when he left hospital 

And ALL the generals involved in the illegal military coup should be in jail for life or executed for treason against the state.

 

Oddly enough NP general has ever been punished for any military coup since 1932. Not even a 500 baht fine or a wai in apology to the Thai people.

 

Nor has any justice or law maker been punished for colluding with a coup.

 

Yet those who were legally elected but usurped, have always been arrested and punished.

 

Odd that.

When is Hun Sen coming to testify about Thaksin calling for props such as a neck brace for a photo op with Hun Sen to fake illness?

You are wrong.  In 1977 General Chalard Hiranyasiri was executed without trial after leading a failed coup against the military government.  In the old days military coups were often staged against military governments to put a new bunch of boys in green at the trough.  This one was unsuccessful and Chalard pulled his gun on another officer and shot him dead for allegedly reneging on his promise to join the coup after he saw it was not going well.

They should be looking for CCTV images of when he got on the plane in Cambodia (after he spent some time with his good buddy Hun Sen) and when he got off the plane and when he arrived at the prison.

Because if I recall, there was no problem with him then. And after he arrived in Thailand he was initially taken to the prison and barely an hour later complained he was having a problem trying to take a nap and that's why they took him to the hospital. He wasn't even at the prison long enough to be processed in, let alone had time to try and "take a nap".

The whole thing was staged from the minute he arrived.

And remember the kerfluffle when someone got photos of him in a swimming pool with his nephews ? While he was supposedly near death in the hospital ?

So the prison/hospital officials quickly put Thaksin in a neck brace and on a guerny and had a photo of him being moved (somewhere) in the hospital to show how sick he was.

And now the daughter is in hot water after calling "her uncle" (Hun Sen) about the border dispute.

And now you can bet they are going to have a lot of trouble trying to get Yingluck back to the country without her having to do a lot of prison time.

Good thing they were able to appoint a friend of Thaksin's to be the acting PM or they'd really be in trouble !

Given Thaksin was pardoned, this is all irrelevant political theatre, surely?

You apparently do not understand the pardon he got from the King. His pardon was a reduction in sentence. Not a full pardon for all the jail time he was supposed to serve.

So he was executed by the illegal coup generals for trying to stage another coup 48 years ago. A pity it is meaningless nowadays, especially as it was an illegal coup against another illegal coup, and NOT a legal punishment under the laws of Thailand.
