Thaksin, 76, emerged from the prison at around 7:41 a.m. wearing a white shirt, greeted family members including his daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra, and departed by car at approximately 7:56 a.m. amid crowds of red-shirted supporters.

As a condition of his parole, Thaksin was fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet and is required to report monthly to probation officers. He must not leave the country until his sentence formally concludes on Sept. 9.

The Parole Committee under Thailand's Ministry of Justice approved Thaksin's release on April 29, citing factors including his age, health conditions, prior contributions to the country and good behavior while incarcerated.

The Supreme Court ordered Thaksin in September 2025 to serve his one-year sentence after ruling that his prolonged stay in a VIP hospital ward in 2023-24 — during which he underwent what the court described as minor and unnecessary surgeries — did not count as prison time.

Thaksin first returned to Thailand in 2023 after 15 years in self-exile to face an eight-year sentence for conflicts of interest and abuse of power during his time as prime minister from 2001 to 2006. His sentence was later commuted to one year following a royal pardon.
