On 10 May 2026, reporters reported that for Thaksin Shinawatra’s parole scheduled for tomorrow (11 May 2026), the Department of Corrections will set up metal barriers in front of the prison gate to separate entry and exit paths. The sidewalk on the side with the coffee shop near Klong Prem Central Prison will be reserved for the Shinawatra family to wait and welcome Thaksin, while the sidewalk on the visitor building side will be designated for all media outlets and Red Shirt supporters.

Additionally, the prison has arranged the coffee shop near the entrance to serve as a reception area for the family and former Pheu Thai party MPs arriving to pick him up. The families of Thaksin’s three sons and daughters will arrive by van, while the former MPs will walk from the coffee shop to join at the front gate.Tags: [Klong Prem prison, family, former MPs, Pheu Thai party, reception area, transportation]

Following that, Thaksin will board a Mercedes-Maybach with Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, his daughter, to leave Klong Prem Central Prison. As the car passes the roundabout in front of the prison, where Red Shirt supporters are gathered to welcome him, he may greet the crowd before traveling back to his residence at Chansongkhram, Soi Charansanitwong 71. It is expected that the EM bracelet will have already been installed inside the prison, so he will not need to visit the Probation Office in Bangkok 1.Tags: [Thaksin Shinawatra, Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Klong Prem prison, Mercedes-Maybach, Red Shirt supporters, Chansongkhram residence, electronic monitoring]
