Thaksin Shinawatra’s Potential Return to Thailand
Fugitive former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra could be treated as an elderly prisoner if he returns to Thailand to face his jail term, according to the Department of Corrections. Thaksin’s daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, announced that her father is set to arrive at Don Mueang airport on August 10. This would mark Thaksin’s first return to Thailand in 17 years.
