This news was published by Bangkokpost and it talked about Paeontarn’s interview, Thaksin’s daughter, about her father’s heart conditions.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra mentioned on Tuesday that her father, Thaksin, would continue his treatment at the Police General Hospital rather than being moved to a private medical facility. However, she expressed concerns about his heart condition. Meanwhile, a political petitioner was planning to approach the Ombudsman to investigate whether Thaksin’s illness was genuinely severe enough for him to remain in the hospital rather than in prison.
Ms. Paetongtarn visited Thaksin at the Police Hospital once again on Tuesday morning. Later, during a press briefing at the Pheu Thai Party headquarters, she informed journalists that her father was still experiencing fatigue and exhaustion but could still engage in conversations with her.She mentioned that Thaksin had been experiencing fatigue and stress since his return to Thailand. The family and reporters learned simultaneously that he had been transferred to the Police General Hospital on the early morning of August 23.
Ms. Paetongtarn explained that Thaksin had contracted Covid-19 prior to the availability of specific medications for the virus. He had spent nine days in an intensive care unit and remained in the hospital for a month. Lingering effects of the illness were still visible in his lungs, she added. Following his initial night at the Bangkok Remand Prison, correctional doctors determined that due to his severe health conditions, Thaksin should be relocated to the Police General Hospital.
The management of the Police General Hospital refuted any claims of providing special treatment to Thaksin on behalf of the authorities.
