According to Aryut Sintopphan, director-general of the Corrections Department, Thaksin will be recorded as an inmate once he is handed over to the Bangkok Remand Prison.
He will then be placed under quarantine for 10 days once his records have been taken.
Since Thaksin is elderly, prison doctors will determine if he needs to be under the close care of doctors or not. If he is found to have a chronic condition, doctors will decide whether he should be detained in the prison hospital.
Once inside prison, wardens will consider allowing him to only be visited by close relatives during the initial period of his detention.
Visits, however, will only be allowed once officials determine there are no communicable diseases inside the prison.
