Shinawatra, who was released on parole and is on probation at his home until August, was permitted by the Department of Probation to make a short-trip to pay respect to his dead relatives and visit his hometown in Chiang Mai northern province, which is his first visit in 17 years. Shinawatra was released on parole from the Police General Hospital where he had been detained for six-months of his one-year jail sentence and did not spend a single night behind bars for corruption and power abuse due to multiple illnesses. Shinawatra returned to Thailand in August 2023 from living in self-imposed exile after he was overthrown by a military coup on 19 September 2006. EPA/RUNGROJ YONGRIT
