Thaksin Shinawatra Covered His Entire 6-Month Hospital Cost
File photo courtesy: TNA-MCOT Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who returned home after 15 years in self-imposed exile, footed the bill for his entire six-month stay at the Police General Hospital amid allegations of privileged treatment. Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong confirmed these details during a House committee inquiry into claims that Thaksin received preferential healthcare as a prisoner. The inquiry follows suspicions his transfer to the hospital from Bangkok Remand Prison was less about health concerns and more about avoiding incarceration. According to Minister Tawee, Thaksin paid 8,500 baht per night for his private room and covered all medical expenses. Despite the hospital’s involvement in the universal healthcare programme he introduced as Prime Minister, Thaksin chose to pay out of pocket. Thaksin, who returned to Thailand on 22 August 2023, was sentenced to an eight-year prison term, later reduced to one year through a royal pardon, for abuse of power and conflict of interest during his time as Prime Minister before 2006. On his first night in the Bangkok Remand Prison, corrections doctors determined his medical condition required a transfer. Minister Tawee disclosed Thaksin’s hospitalization was justified due to a “complex” condition, too challenging for prison facilities. He had received all of Thaksin’s medical records, including payment receipts, but stressed these documents could only be released with Thaksin’s consent. The committee sought transparency about who authorized his transfer and the specific health reasons, citing the public's right to know. Despite public scrutiny, Minister Tawee maintained Thaksin’s stay and guarded hospital room adhered to safety protocols, given past assassination attempts, with full visitor logs available for review, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-23 -

Tourist’s Body Found Washed Ashore at Wong Amat Beach, Pattaya
RIP. With the gold jewelry and iPhone 5 he obviously wasn’t robbed. Maybe heart attack after a busy evening. This brings the importance of having some identity on you while on holiday. Like the young lady who died on Lonely beach Koh Chang and they took time finding who she was. Think a a dog tag would be a good idea , think I’ll get one myself. You can loose a wallet easily. If I’m not mistaken there are a few 5 star hotels around that area. -
