Does anyone know if he can apply for another royal pardon?

 

Theoretically yes.....but there is another route.....Executive Clemency....so we shall see!!!!

So now there'll be an appeal process? And further Get Out of Jail cards to play, including air navigation matters ...

Not to mention how his jail time will be served, if ever.

Following the court's verdict, Thaksin was immediately detained.

But will be be able to post bond? is this the final decision with all options to delay or fight the verdict used up? Doubtful.

Nope, this was the supreme court. No appeal. What is interesting is that the court didn't immediately take him into custody.

Excellent decision. Hopefully they detain him right away so that he won't be playing games with his jet again. 

Thaksin haters will never live to see Thaksin in jail. Mark my words

There is No appeals allowed, no bail  the only way is Executive Clemency but since he has been pardoned before  this is a long stretch which is doubtful

They did.

It will end up being home arrest with an ankle bracelet, he is 76 after all. 

It would be easy time. He’d hardly be locked up in a cell in the ‘Hilton’ with 100 others with a hole in the ground.

He is in jail already: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/thailand-thaksin-shinawatra-jail-1-year-verdict-hospital-stay-5339256#:~:text=Thaksin was elected prime minister in 2001 and,in prison for corruption and abuse of power.

" Thaksin was seen at the court removing his jacket and getting into a corrections department van. A Reuters witness later confirmed that he had arrived at prison. "

Does that mean he has a criminal record? so he can never be a politician again, I just remembered it doesnt matter in Thailand, that heroin dealer who did time,

Well he also went to the jail last time for a few hours .....Tony may serve a sentence but he will NOT be in regular jail....

The only problem with jailing him is its making him a martyr  to his cause

He's already had appeals. This is just the prison he avoided.

yes correct   capt Thamanat Prompow but Thaskin conviction is in Thailand 

Surely, he was only following Doctor's orders.

Apparently this is the loop hole......he wasn't convicted or sentenced as such....this was simply sentence enforcement and won't affect his ability to serve as a politician...

who you talking about Thaskin was convicted to a 8yr sentence reduced to 1 yr by pardon  thaskin is a sentenced felon   you are correct today is just sentence enforcement  and as a convicted felon he can not server as a mp

I'm a skeptic by nature and I'm inclined to think you're correct.

In a few hours he must be rushed to the hospital again as he will get high bloodpressure or so

How long will take him to develop a life-threatening ailment that require hospitalization I wonder?

I guess that with 'good behavior', consideration of his age and background, and few more pulls from here and there,

he'll be out in no time ready and able to continue his shenanigans.
