The highest institution in the land.

The highest institution has the option of reducing his sentence to time served. He should be released.

  • No need to hear more about Thaksin now. He don´t have it worse than anybody else. He just have to suck it up after breaking the law. The guy should have much more than only 1 year.

  • I pray nothing drastic happens like him dropping the soap. 

  • With a little money, he can buy comforts. extra bedding, foods, phone calls. pffft he can lessen the blow and turn the solitary confinement cell into a hotel room. Mattress and all. Guards in there in

The only news I would find satisfying to red would be Thaksins demise inside the prison by another inmate. There is a stark reality that death comes cheap and easily inside this prison. a few thousand baht would be all that was needed. Given his list of enemies is greater than his list of friends. the prison has best keep him locked up in solitary confinement if they expect him to live through this year long prison term. 

On another note. Has anyone ready yet if someone has filed a case to have Thaksins clemency reversed due to his using his poor health as a reason to be given such a clemency 

Cut the bull<deleted> @thesetat, you are suggesting that Thsksin's murder in jail would be agreeable.

Agree, and he created his own situation - you reap what you sew.

pretty sure you meant sow ... but yeah, he could have come back and lived a quiet life.

what time served !! 2 days 

150 inmates in a 50m2 cell with a big hole in the middle of the cell for disposing the excellent menus of a few hours ago?

I doubt it, honestly 😉

True, I should have said sow, my error / my apology.

Time for him to take this opportunity to repent and live an austere life like a monk. 
A good way to pare down his karmic debt. 

Really ..how many cell mates does he have ? , has he got space on the 

floor to sleep,he won't be eating prison food ,thats a given , will be having

visitors at all hours of the day , it's a tough life ..

There is also no problem for him inside prison. He will have a rather comfortable cell, isolated from other prisoners and have already been assigned a well-behaved prisoner as butler.

 

You sound very knowledgeable about Thai prisons.  Were you assigned a well-behaved prisoner as a buttler?

No he wont be eating prison food.

As I understand it, he brought along his own prepared sandwiches.

In a formal school yes.

 

I think as a prison occupation, if so directed by the prison authorities, probably not.

Sorta like the prison scene out of Goodfellas.

Inmates cope with minimal comforts, sleeping on the floor with just three blankets and surviving on bland meals.

    Can't imagine why he returned to Thailand when he could live anywhere in luxury with all his money.  Guess feeling relevant, important, and powerful in Thailand trumps being a rich nobody everywhere else. 

Thai wife says that he'll be out on an "age and infirmary" pardon in a jiffy.

I thought he got 8 years :whistling:

Surely it should have been a condition of Clemency that if he was convicted of another crime he would immediately be bounced back to Prison to serve the Full Sentence with no Parole or reduction for good behaviour.

Just a slap on the wrist, he deserves much more

What a horrible thought, let alone a satisfaction.

It depends on how much you pay 

Don’t  be fooled. Thaksin is not in jail. It is Jack Ma, they swapped over in Dubai 

"................. there is a possibility for Thaksin to serve some of his time under house arrest."

 

Hmmm! 🙂 

He will soon be out of prison, sitting in his Bangkok mansion with an ankle monitor telling his servants what to do.

Little Oliver, are we having a bad day? Misconceptions, and wild dreams. I guess you better take your butt, and go to beachroad.
