According to his youngest daughter Paetongtarn, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is currently residing at his Bangkok house after being released on parole, wants to travel to his home of Chiang Mai, but no journey arrangements have been made.

The head of the Pheu Thai Party responded to rumors that Thaksin had already scheduled a vacation for the middle of March.

According to Ms. Paetongtarn, her father had a desire to travel there for some time, but he had not yet confirmed when he would actually be going it. &nbsp,

No particular itinerary has been devised at this time. He stated that he would like to visit the graves of his predecessors. She said,” And his elder sister died while he was abroad, and he has not been able to pay tribute to her until today.” &nbsp, &nbsp,

On March 21, 2009, Yaowaluck Shinawatra, or Khlongkhamnuankarn ( her father’s family name ), Thaksin’s eldest girl, passed away from liver and diabetes.

She said that she was anxious for them to match Thaksin, as well, but that they would have to wait until Thaksin, himself, would make that decision. &nbsp,

The Shinawatra community had already congratulated her sister and criminal former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra on her conviction by the Supreme Court on Monday in the case involving the award of a 240 million baht&nbsp commitment to encourage her administration’s 2 trillion ringgit infrastructure projects, she claimed.

Despite speculation that she had already set a time for her returning to Thailand following Monday’s conviction, Ms. Paetongtarn said, Yingluck had not yet discussed with the home any plans for her return, Ms. Paetongtarn said.

Yingluck claimed that she was in charge of her own interests and that she had not discussed plans to travel back to Thailand.

Thaksin fled the country in 2008 immediately before the Supreme Court sentenced him to jail for abusing his position of authority in relation to his then-wife’s order of state property. Soon before the judge sentenced her to five years in prison for ignoring problem in her administration’s first rice-pledging system, Yingluck fled in 2017.

Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong claimed that Yingluck had never requested royal mercy, which she could send directly to the Ministry of Justice.

Nevertheless, Commerce Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai expressed his moral support for Yingluck and wished that she would return home very quickly.

Chairman of the Progressive Movement Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit once more stated his opinion that both Yingluck and Thaksin were subjects of military coups that resulted in their facing legal fees, which he finds wrong.

On the other hand, former red-shirt movement leader Jatuporn Promphan asserted that he personally believed Yingluck would n’t come back while Srettha Thavisin is still prime minister, noting that Thaksin’s return was made while former prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha was in power. He had never anticipated Mr. Srettha’s election as prime minister.
