Prem admitted to hospital

Privy Council President General Prem Tinsulanonda had to be admitted to Phramongkutklao Hospital on Wednesday evening as he was suffering from a stomach complaint.

Doctors suggested that the 94-year-old statesman be put under observation for a few days, and that he will be discharged soon if no further complications are found, a source close to him said.

The source added that Prem was not suffering from anything serious, and that it was normal for a person his age to get tired sometimes.

Lt-General Phanuvich Pumhirun, chief of the Army Medical Department, will call a press conference at 11am on Friday to provide details about Prem’s condition at the hospital’s Tinsulanonda Room.
