He previously spent six months in a VIP hospital wing in Bangkok rather than a jail cell. The Supreme Court ruled last September that a hospital stay did not reduce the jail sentence, resulting in one year of actual prison time. The patriarch of the Pertai party returns to a landscape where his daughter, Padantan, was ousted and the Bumjai Tai party assumed power following general elections. Shinawatra's release occurs amidst a changed political landscape for his party.
