BANGKOK, Aug 23 — Thailand’s former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was moved to hospital overnight, officials said today, over concern about his heart and high blood pressure on his first night in jail following his historic return from self-exile.
Thaksin made his homecoming yesterday and was escorted to jail in dramatic scenes that stole the spotlight from political ally Srettha Thavisin, who was elected prime minister in a parliamentary vote later in the day. “The prison has assessed the situation and saw that it lacks doctors and medical equipment that can take care of the patient,” Assistant National Police Chief Lieutenant General Prachuab Wongsuk told Reuters.
