Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Thursday discounted the news about exiled former premier Thaksin Shinawatra's plan to visit Cambodia to meet the opposition Puea Thai party MPs.

According to Mr Abhisit, Mr Thaksin had been travelling frequently, adding he can come back to Thailand and no one will stop him. He said the government also wants him to return.

In addition, the premier said he was informed that Japan will not allow Mr Thaksin to enter because he is a convict.

During Mr Abhisit's visit to Japan from Thursday to Saturday, he will enter talks with Japanese leaders and businessmen to restore their confidence to Thailand and to promote tourism and investment after the political situation has improved.

Let me explain to your guys no country want a poor and unexperience of business person to run for a leader. If you do he will be spend all the state budget and corrupted. Mr. Thaksin he is a businessman and he knew whats right and wrong and he known who he should be made friend with it.The Only country do not want a richman to be leader, because their were very corrupted military,mob,human Traffic,Sex Tourist and brother kill brother to have a power.
1.Let Put this way when a person so rich what do he want the money for what it.
2. He born with nothing and when he die how much money can he take along and the size land he will be need is 2x2 meters that is maxs.
3. When he is a leader he want the country to be the best for his people in the region.
4. He would like to united his people to be one group not dividing in group.
Now Thailand is falling in a part very soon will be civil war and the neigbour country will take over thailand piece by piece. and I cannot wait for those to come it. FYI every refugee can not wait to get back to Thailand people who is take advantage of killing their brothers, sister and they relatives during their stay in the Camp. KEEP IN MIND WHAT GOES ROUND AND WHAT COME ROUND.IF Mr. Thaksin want to stay in the Cambodia they'll pick up both hand to welcome with honor and with a respective too. May be he be a good advise to Hun Sen after all, so Cambodia can developing their faster than Thailand and even running those government out of the country and give Cambodia land back to them too. Whos Known?

Machai, Thaksin will come back and do two years in jail and then face all the years tacked on do to his corruption cases. He could not go out to dinner in england without thai people getting in his face. He is wanted only by one small minority group, that is, red shirt morons.
Looking In, you sound like the idiot twins VOR or Drey...you boys changing your name from embarrassment.
