Even, Thaksin Shinawatra did not land in Suvarnabhumi Airport, his favorite airport, but landed in Don Mueang, the old airport (in scale: same as Halim Airport or Kai Tak Airport or Tegel Airport). Years ago, he has stayed for days at the Suvarnabhumi airport, when he was still PM, when the airport was still only in construction, maybe only 20 percent of the construction process, because he believed very well that the new airport would bring a jump in state revenue, especially tourism. He stayed to make sure the workers of Suvarnabhumi felt cared for so as to try to speed up the construction process.
Since the Thai General Election this year in last May, Thaksin wants to go back home, back to Thailand. Pita Limjaroenrat reiterated his party's (Move Forward) push to reform royal defamation laws and also said (because intention Pita to create a coalition with Paetongtarn Shinawatra) former PM Thaksin Shinawatra (Paetongtarn’s father) has a right to return to Thailand from exile and face a fair trial and legal system.
Srettha Thavisin, a former property tycoon and a political newcomer, close ally of Thaksin, is set to take a shot at becoming Thailand’s next prime minister today or tomorrow. Divisive ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has returned to Thailand after years of self-imposed exile to face criminal charges — on the same day that a party affiliated with him plans to start forming a new government.
"I am seeking permission again. I have decided to come home to see my grandchildren (Thasin — without “K”) within July, before my birthday (Thaksin was born July 26th, 1949 in San Kamphaeng, Chiang Mai, Thailand)," Thaksin’s statement via Twitter, May 9th, 2023.
Thaksin Shinawatra set foot on Thai soil for the first time since 2008, returning from self-exile before he was escorted in a police convoy to the Supreme Court, then taken to prison, where he will serve eight years. The jail term covers three different cases for abuse of power and malfeasance, illegally ordering a state-run bank to issue a foreign loan, and illegally holding shares via nominees. Thaksin was taken to the Supreme Court earlier on Tuesday. The jail term covers three different cases for abuse of power and malfeasance, illegally ordering a state-run bank to issue a foreign loan, and illegally holding shares via nominees. Thaksin was taken to the Supreme Court earlier on Tuesday.
In October 2008, the Thai Supreme Court found him guilty of a conflict of interest and sentenced him in absentia to two years imprisonment. The People's Power Party was later dissolved by the Supreme Court, but party members regrouped to form the Pheu Thai Party, which Thaksin also supported. In 2009 it was announced that Thaksin had obtained Montenegrin citizenship through that country's economic citizenship program.
I nearly trapped in “long, very long” protest/Thai political crisis 2013-2014. Fortunately, I failed to the airport on October 30, 2013, for duty purpose. The 2013–2014 Thai political crisis was a period of political instability in Thailand. Anti-government protests took place between November 2013 and May 2014, organised by the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), a political pressure group led by former Democrat Party parliamentary representative (MP) Suthep Thaugsuban.[10] The crisis eventually resulted in the removal of incumbent Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, a coup d'état, and the establishment of a military junta.
The Thai Corrections Department said inmate Thaksin Shinwatra is suffering from many health conditions including acute coronay syndrome, herniated disc, highblood pressure and abnormal body posture. So Thaksin not only miss his grandson.
