Fakhrul, along with his wife Rahat Ara Begum, left Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for Bangkok at 2:45am on a Thai Airways flight, said BNP media cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan.
He said the BNP leader noticed a problem with his eyes on Monday morning and immediately visited United Hospital in Gulshan for treatment.
