¡°A new round of play between the major political forces has actually just begun.¡±

According to Xinhua News Agency, the Thai Supreme Court ruled on the 9th that the execution procedure of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's sentence in the Police General Hospital was illegal and he had to serve another year's sentence. Thaksin then expressed his position, accepted the judgment, and was sent to Bangkok Special Prison Area to serve his sentence on the same day.

Experts believe that Thaksin's re-imprisonment will be a big blow to the Chinawar family and will further aggravate the complexity and uncertainty of Thailand's domestic politics.

Acceptance of judgment is ineffective.

He was sentenced to eight years in prison for three charges, including corruption and abuse of office, but was sentenced to hospital treatment on the following day of his conviction due to health reasons.In September of the same year, he was sentenced to an amnesty from the King of Thailand, reduced to one year in prison.In February 2025, he was released.

He believed to have been treated for 180 days at the police general hospital, sparking controversy around whether he really served his sentence.In January 2025, a former Democratic lawmaker filed a lawsuit with the court to investigate whether he served the sentence at the hospital.

From July to August, the Criminal Cases Department of Political Positions of the Supreme Court of Thailand conducted several rounds of witness questioning and investigation on this case. On September 8th, Thaksin returned to Bangkok, the capital, by private jet. On the 9th, he appeared at the Supreme Court with his daughter Petongtan, who was dismissed as Prime Minister at the end of last month.

After the ruling came out, Thaksin posted on social media that he accepted the court ruling. He said that he would keep his physical and mental health and look forward to the resolution of past events, including legal disputes and other conflicts involving himself.

He believed, ¡°From now on, although I am not (physically) free, I still have the freedom of thought to seek the welfare of the country and the people.¡±

Yang Danzhi, Ph.D., Institute of Asia-Pacific and Global Strategy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and a senior researcher at the Institute of National Security, Renmin University of China, believes that although serving another year's sentence is much less than the previous eight years' sentence, it has dealt a great blow to Thaksin himself and his family from being pardoned to being imprisoned again, and accepting the sentence is also his helpless choice.

"The trial procedure is in accordance with Thai laws and practices, and it is difficult to object to it." - Yang Danzhi said that in the situation is difficult to recover, he believes that accepting the verdict is the only option, and also show the people his "willingness to bet on losing" gesture, but also to maintain the image and saving power for the future.

He was sentenced to jail again.

The mountains are difficult again.

However, in recent years, the influence of the Chinava family in Thailand has been greatly weakened, and it is very difficult to "turn off" in the absence of core leadership figures.

On August 29, the Constitutional Court of Thailand ruled that Petun Tan violated the Constitution and dismissed him as prime minister. On August 5, the House of Representatives of Thailand voted to elect the proud leader of the Thai party, Anutin Shemvila, as the new prime minister.

Yang Dengxi pointed out that at present, the Chinatown family lacks a representative figure in the Thai political game. Although he previously believed that himself, his sister Hira and daughter Petun Tang had had "high-light moments" and had a strong prestige among the Thai people, they have now departed.

Therefore, under the strong offensive of the opposition parties, under the control of the establishment forces represented by the royal family and the military, he believed that the family and party forces wanted to start again in the political mountain.

He wrote a letter to his daughter, Petun Tan.

Multiple games are obvious.

Yang Dench believes that from his letter to re-prisoning can also spy on some changes in Thailand's politics.

First, Thailand¡¯s politics has begun to show a clear multi-party situation, and in the past it was mainly a struggle between two parties and the winners ruled; now multiple forces participate in the game, which side they are on, will greatly affect the outcome of the general election.¡±

Secondly, regardless of which party comes to power, the economic ¡°scoreboard¡± is an important code for fighting for the people¡¯s heart. Yang Danxi pointed out that although Anutin has been elected as the new prime minister and his proud Thai Party has also received the support of the People¡¯s Party, it is difficult to ensure its long-term rule if the new government cannot deliver an answer that satisfies the people and many political forces in the country as soon as possible.

In addition, in terms of diplomacy, how to continue Thailand¡¯s tradition of balancing diplomacy, and how to resolve the border conflict and avoid the damage to people¡¯s livelihoods, is also a major challenge for the ruling Thai party.

There are signs that the story of the Chinava family is far from the time to be told!

The Supreme Court of Thailand on September 9 local time sentenced former Prime Minister Taisheng Chinova to another year in prison.

01

Interestingly, he had already left Thailand, and what would the verdict be if he didn¡¯t return to Thailand?He wrote in a September 6 article that he felt that ¡°he supported the Thai party for fear that he¡¯t get the position of Thai prime minister this time.¡±

At that time, it was reported that his private jet first flew to Singapore. But then it flew over Malaysia and appeared over the Andaman Sea.

But it turned out that his letter finally landed in Singapore early on September 8 and flew back to Bangkok that night. He was awaiting the trial on September 9 and public information showed that at this time the king had approved Thailand's proud party leader Anutin as Prime Minister of Thailand.

As for the reasons for the report, he wrote that the plane he was flying over the Andaman Sea, and that he wrote in a social media post on September 5 that he wanted to land in Singapore for a medical check-up, but the Thai Immigration Administration delayed him for hours.

He eventually arrived in Singapore and flew back to Bangkok after less than 24 hours in Singapore!

What is Thaksin's relationship with Anutin, the current Prime Minister of Thailand?

Just over a year ago, the proud Thai Party also collaborated with his daughter, Pete Thunman, to form a temporary government. Anutin was also deputy prime minister and interior minister at the time. But because of Pete Thunman¡¯s ¡°telephone gate¡± incident, Anutin immediately decided to end his cooperation with the Thai Party. After Pete Thunman was dismissed as prime minister by the Thai Constitutional Court, Anutin decided to run and finally won the election.

In fact, when he flew out of Thailand, he knew that Anutin was elected, so whether he left for Anutin to be elected Prime Minister of Thailand or, as he himself said, went to Singapore for medical examination ¡ª it is unknown!

Did he know that the immigration agency in Singapore had caused him some trouble after leaving Thailand and then switched to the Middle East?

02

In any case, he was able to return to Thailand, undergo trial, and be sentenced to prison, according to Haiti, probably during the period in Singapore, has communicated with the domestic Thailand through various channels:

by investigating information for the Thai party and daughter Petun Tan;

Communicating with Anuntin through some hand-foot brothers;

Through contact with the Thai courts and key persons in the legal community, to explore the news ...

In short, it was finally roughly determined what kind of sentence he might receive-

It may not be accurate to know in advance that the court would sentence him to a year in prison, but at least it is known that he may not be sentenced to a very long sentence, so he is willing to return home.

Even whether there will be probation in the future and how long it will take to be released on parole, Thaksin himself already knows how much. After all, he probably thinks that returning to China for trial won't hurt himself too much. Therefore, he went back in time!

He saw, for example, the head of the China News Agency's reference news related video showed that the former prime minister of Thailand, the daughter of his letter, Petonthan Chinava, accompanied his father to the court after the trial ended, in the face of many media interviews said that his father was added a year in prison, long!

But Petongtan also said that his father was satisfied with this judgment.

Immediately after, Xinhua that he was sent to the Bangkok Special Prison District for imprisonment later on September 9.

¡°I am proud of my father¡¯s past work for the country and people, and I thank my father¡¯s supporters.¡±

What is the profound meaning?

In fact, with his letter willing to return to the country for trial and serving sentence, and with what Pete Thunman said at the court door, it feels no more than that the Chinava family wants to come back!

He has long been in exile abroad since a military coup in 2006 until August 22, 2023, when he returned to Thailand and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

After being sentenced, Thaksin's sentence was reduced to one year by the king of Thailand. In February 2024, Thaksin was released on parole on the grounds that he was over 70 years old, seriously ill, and had served six months in prison.

However, it was also after Petongtan became Prime Minister of Thailand that in January 2025, former member of the Democratic Party of Thailand Shenchai filed a complaint with the Supreme Court, requesting an investigation into whether Thaksin's sentence on the 14th floor of the Police General Hospital was legal. In April this year, the Supreme Court rejected the complaint on the grounds that it was not qualified as a party to the case, and decided to conduct its own investigation and trial.

Subsequently, due to the "telephone door" incident, Petonthan was unable to serve as prime minister, and the re-trial of his letter became increasingly "regular" in the Thai courts.

However, what if he believed to be granted Thai king amnesty again during his next sentence, or even be released on condition?

Will the Chinava family launch a new political star?

Even Petongtan, actually a "post-80s generation", is still very young! The comeback is unknown!

Thaksin dares to come back, which also proves that he has some confidence in his heart-

It's nothing more than a temporary change of place to sleep!

Peton dared to say some defensive support at the court door immediately after his letter was sentenced again, and thanked the supporters of his letter¡ª

Why are these supporters not her own supporters?

There are signs that the story of the Chinava family is far from the time to be told!
