(Photo: Panumet Tanraksa)The sight of a seemingly healthy Thaksin Shinawatra touring Chiang Mai has increased public scepticism about whether he was ever as ill as the government claimed, says an opposition MP. “Then days afterwards Thaksin was able to leave hospital and days after returning home he is able to travel to Chiang Mai,” Mr Rangsiman said on Thursday. … If Thaksin was not ill, I think that … the government will then be held responsible,” he said. Thaksin, 74, was discharged from Police General Hospital on the morning of Feb 18.
