General Damrongsak Kittiprapas briefs reporters on Monday ahead of a historic day for Thailand as former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is expected to arrive back at Don Mueang Airport at 9.30 am on a private jet flying from Singapore. He will later be taken to the Supreme Court before being incarcerated at Bangkok Remand Prison.

 

The Thai police chief, General Damrongsak Kittiprapas, on Monday, confirmed that his forces were ready to deal with the imminent return to Thailand of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra after over 15 years in exile.

The Royal Thai Police chief gave a briefing to reporters on Monday as his force locked in details for Tuesday’s operation to receive ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra on arrival and his movements in Bangkok before he is committed to Bangkok Remand Prison after his appearance before the Supreme Court.

The Royal Thai Police has assured the public that its overarching priority in dealing with the historic return of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will be the safety of the man who has dominated Thai politics for over two decades while police also have orders to ensure the safety of supporters who come out to cheer Mr Thaksin on his return and appearance before the Supreme Court in the capital before he is committed to Bangkok Remand Prison. The Supreme Court has scheduled a press conference after Mr Thaksin appears before it to explain the basis of any decision made on Tuesday regarding his prison sentences and terms of incarceration.

No, one of those black 6 wheelers with the cage on the back would be more appropriate!

 

Can't you just see Tony sitting in the back of this, or would they give him a front seat? He is a flight risk!

But, but.....I too have been concerned and on my knees clutching a fistful of smouldering incense sticks. Will he get a penthouse or just a suite? Not knowing is killing me!
