By Thai Newsroom Reporters

GLOBETROTTING FORMER prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has tweeted to repeat that he is coming back home to literally babysit the seventh of his grandchildren who was born today (May 1).

 

Thaksin, invariably viewed as de facto Pheu Thai party boss who has been living in self-exile overseas following the 2006 coup, posted on his Twitter page to repeatedly vow to return home sooner than later on occasion of today’s birth of his seventh grandchild, namely Thasin, the baby son born to his daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra, one of a trio of Pheu Thai partisan candidates for prime minister after the May 14 general election.

 

Thaksin said he is coming back home “soon” to literally babysit all his grandchildren especially the newborn baby as he is going to be 74 years old in the upcoming July.

 

The de facto Pheu Thai boss who has usually declined to pinpoint a schedule for his long-anticipated return has earlier offered to get himself behind bars upon his homecoming, however.

Wait, what about Montenegro? Having a Montenegrin Grandfather surely conveys claim to another citizenship?

 

She's being shaped into Thailand's version of Jacinda Ardern. Young female leaders are favoured by the western media.

Is there a statute of limitations for his crimes?

BS

No way is he returning to Thailand unless he's granted a full pardon before boarding the flight.
