Wanthanee Suwadee, the imprisoned mother of former princess Thanpuying Srirasm Suwadee, has been admitted to the Central Chest Institute of Thailand for treatment for her heart ailment, according to Matichon Online.
Withaya Suriyawong, director-general of the Corrections Department, said that on Aug 9 he was informed by the Central Women's Correctional Institute that Wanthanee had developed symptoms of dizziness and pain in the right chest. She has a heart pacemaker prescribed by Bamrungrad Hospital in 2008.
Wanthanee was admitted to the Corrections Department Hospital and later transferred to the Central Chest Institute of Thailand for further treatment.
Mr Withaya said this is a normal practice in the handling of sick inmates.
Wanthanee and her husband Aniruj, the parents of former princess Srirasm, are serving time in jail after the Criminal Court on March 11 sentenced them each to two years and six months imprisonment for lese majeste.
