Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was in good spirits when his daughters visited him and gave him 15,000 baht for his spending at Bangkok's Klongprem Central Prison on Thursday morning.
Pheu Thai Party leader and former prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Pintongta Shinawatra Kunakornwong and their husbands visited Thaksin.
Ms Paetongtarn told reporters that the visit was brief as her father was slightly unwell.
She said her father had hypertension, insufficient rest and his hair was falling out. However, his morale was good, she added.
Thaksin’s son Panthongtae, aka Oak, did not show up.
The Department of Corrections said Thaksin usually wakes at 6am and sleeps at 9.30pm. He has eggs for breakfast. During the day, he reads, watches television and walks while swinging his arms.
The billionaire's family left 15,000 baht for his expenses, which is the maximum deposit allowed.
The court rejected Thaksin's claims of illness that had allowed him to stay at Police General Hospital since his return to Thailand in August 2023 until his parole in early 2024.
On Sept 9, he was admitted to Bangkok Remand Prison and the following day was transferred to Klongprem Central Prison.
