The exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra early morning on Friday denied as groundless a media report that he will go to join the Loy Krathong festival in Cambodia and to thank Cambodian leader Hun Sen for his affirmation not to extradite him to Thailand.
“I will not go to Cambodia and will stay here in a Muslim country”, Thaksin said in his twitter’s @thaksinlive website.
The ex-premier said from November 1 he will be able to directly contact Thai people via the SMS. “If you want to discuss economic matters, lock on to “follow” in “thaksinbiz”.
Regarding his police rank stripping, Thaksin said it is now clear that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is a supporter of the People’s Alliance for Democracy.
Citing Puea Thai MP for Samut Prakarn Pracha Prasopdee, most local dailies reported on Friday morning that Thaksin will on Sep 2 travel by his personal jet to the neighbouring country for such purposes.
Mr Abhisit on Thursday reaffirmed that if Thaksin really go to Cambodia his government will have to ask for his extradition.
