  • Everyone who ends up behind bars gets stressed... should have thought about it before committing misdeeds.

  • He is not the only one if he has stress..in fact he has money and several activities that others don't have and probably they have more stress than this man.. But of course he doesn't want to complete

  • If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

Thaksin's stress comes amidst recent unfavorable legal developments. The Supreme Court ordered him to pay 17.6 billion baht in taxes and interest linked to his 2006 Shin Corp share sale. Furthermore, an appeal has been filed against his recent acquittal on lese-majeste charges.


Who wouldn't feel a bit stressed in such a situation?

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is experiencing significant stress while incarcerated, raising concerns about his mental health, according to his daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra. She visited Thaksin at Klongprem Central prison in Bangkok and reported that while his physical health is stable, he appears very stressed mentally. Thaksin's situation is exacerbated by two new legal challenges he faced this month, potentially impacting his parole prospects.

 

Thaksin's stress comes amidst recent unfavorable legal developments. The Supreme Court ordered him to pay 17.6 billion baht in taxes and interest linked to his 2006 Shin Corp share sale. Furthermore, an appeal has been filed against his recent acquittal on lese-majeste charges. These developments compound Thaksin's legal complexities and impact his prospects of ongoing freedom.

 

The Ministry of Justice's revised regulations on transferring inmates out of prisons are seen by some as an effort to keep Thaksin detained, potentially influencing upcoming elections in March. Paetongtarn, having distanced herself from politics since her dismissal as prime minister on August 29, emphasized her focus on supporting her father. She refrained from speculating on whether political motives underlie his continued imprisonment.

 

As the Shinawatra family navigates these challenges, the Pheu Thai Party, long associated with them, adjusts under new leadership. The family is tasked with addressing the substantial financial burden imposed by the Supreme Court, following its determination that Thaksin benefited from the Shin Corp share transfer. Despite these pressures, Paetongtarn remains reserved on commenting regarding the attorney-general's appeal of her father's lese-majeste acquittal in an August ruling.

 

Looking ahead, Thaksin's family continues to work on gathering the required funds to meet the Supreme Court's order. Meanwhile, Thaksin remains imprisoned following his previous one-year sentence for conflict of interest and abuse of authority while in office. His time in a VIP suite at Police General Hospital from August was dismissed as not constituting actual imprisonment, with the court rejecting claims of illness during his hospital stay, reported Bangkok Post.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Thaksin Shinawatra's stress in prison raises health concerns.
  • Legal challenges continue, affecting his legal and financial situation.
  • Family and party adapt amid changing political and legal landscapes.

If he'd stayed out of politics, he wouldn't be in this mess. He didn't even try to hide his heavy-handed approach to running the country.

don't commit the crime if you can't do the time... maybe some tokes of a joint will help, it'll lower the stress! 😉

This is the 1st pic of him from a family visit today

Is he actually in prison? I thought he would use a "double" to stand in for him. 

I was up all night after reading this article. The stress from his incarceration is killing me.
