Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is now in Japan, not in Hong Kong as the Democrat Party claimed, according to Thaksin’s legal adviser Noppadon Pattama.

Even Thaksin's meeting with old friends in Hong Kong is a sour grape feeling to his haters.

Well Thaksin was in Hong Kong as the Democratic Party claimed.Mr Noppadon admitted that several Pheu Thai MPs had gone to meet Thaksin in Hong Kong, but said there were no discussions of a cabinet reshuffle. Do you believe it? The longtime aide to Thaksin insisted that any decision whether to reshuffle the cabinet or not would be the authority of Ms Yingluck. If you believe it, why did they not go see Ms Yingluck directly? Ms Yingluck should be highly insulted, yet she is not.

PT Government consisting of Yingluck who carries the title of PM but never takes responsibility and avoids cabinet meetings in case she is associated with any decisions and Thaksin, the real PM who cannot return to the country he is PM of.

This must be Government Thailand style!!!

Disc12 DomDunn - thank you for your thinly-veiled insult.
However, you might want to read some of the posts by your peers - Hillfarang, Bula, Android - and see just how oblivious some of the PT supporters are... Talk about unoriginal thinkers!

englishbob D2.

Of course it isn't true, it's politics, just like when the army says it has never considered mounting a coup.

I should say that anyone who would feel the need to raise such an obvious point is perhaps not among the most original of thinkers.

Its amazing DEMS actually have a group of polticians following Thaksin around even to the toilet. Would you believe and vote for a MP that does nothing except follow some famous guy around the world? I would vote for anyone who been following Lady GaGa ont her world tour concert.
Maybe Thaksin have suddent craving for Hong Kong roasted duck or Japan sushi, afterall rich people are known to fly over just to satisfy their food craving.
