5-8-2023 (BANGKOK) Thaksin Shinawatra, the former Prime Minister of Thailand, took to Twitter today at 9.55 am to announce that he will be postponing his much-anticipated return to Thailand by a maximum of two weeks. The decision comes as Thaksin expressed the need for a medical examination before finalizing the new date and time for his arrival.
In his tweet, Thaksin informed his followers that he would provide further updates regarding the rescheduled return once the doctor has conducted a thorough physical examination. The former Prime Minister’s decision to delay his return is primarily motivated by health concerns.
Thaksin Shinawatra has been living in self-imposed exile since a military coup ousted him from power on 19th September 2006. His planned arrival at Don Mueang airport on 10th August was eagerly anticipated by many, especially his supporters and members of the Pheu Thai Party, with which Thaksin is closely associated. However, due to his current health condition, he has made the responsible choice to postpone the return until his medical examination is completed.
The news of Thaksin’s deferred return has ignited interest and speculation among political observers and the Thai public. Thaksin remains a prominent and influential figure in Thai politics, and any potential return could have significant implications for the country’s political landscape.
ผมขอเลื่อนวันเดินทางกลับไทยจากวันที่10ไปอีกไม่เกินสองสัปดาห์วันเวลาจะแจ้งอีกครั้ง หมอเรียกให้ไปตรวจร่างกายก่อนครับ
