Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was ready to help seek the release of seven Thais being detained on charges of illegal entry into Cambodia and encroaching on a restricted military area, Puea Thai MP Suchart Lainamngern said on Saturday.

Mr Suchart, an MP for Lopburi, had just returned from visiting the ousted prime minister in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

He said Thaksin was willing to help free the detained Thais because he did not want them to be jailed in the neighbouring country.

“But he does not want to interfere with the government’s effort to seek the release of the seven Thais at this time. He believes the prime minister and the Foreign Ministry is capable of doing the job”, Mr Suchart said.

Thaksin also suggested the government to play in cool on this case, he added.
