It is no surprise everybody knew that he was already active in politics in Dubai, and now at home he has expanded his power... He thought it be something else?? That is the result of doing something without thinking....

He could have settled to the life of a retired grandfather, play with his grandchildren, and live in peace.

But no, that is obviously not what the criminal wanted.

Thailand had enough of Thaksin, the Shinawatras, and their minions. 

 

Evidently not though. 

 

He's back and running things and nobody seems to care.

The irony is that the kinds of things he is doing now are what caused the coup and him having to go into self imposed exile for 17 years. 
 

Then, he came back, got fully pardoned, freed to do whatever he wants, plus everyone in government and military has been extremely tolerant, and now he's acting as if he is still PM and as if nothing ever happened. So where is this all heading? 

 

I think you have answered your own question there.

True, but we've had enough of "those currently wielding power" too. And that is not limited to the senators. 😉

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been cautioned to limit his political influence from behind the scenes, as noted by a high-profile former Pheu Thai Party official.

 

This development follows a recent petition filed by 40 senators to impeach Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, whom many believe was quietly supported by Thaksin's sibling, deposed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

 

Former National Security Council secretary-general Paradorn Pattanatabut explained that powerful elements within the government have essentially given Thaksin a lesson in not overextending his hidden political influence. According to Paradorn, Thaksin's overt manoeuvres have reportedly stirred unrest among those currently wielding power.

 

The Senate petition targets Srettha and former Prime Minister’s Office minister Pichit Chuenban—who resigned today—for alleged constitutional breaches. If the Constitutional Court accepts the impeachment petition, the Prime Minister might face immediate suspension while awaiting further rulings.

 

 

 

Thaksin’s growing influence is being closely scrutinised, especially as the Office of the Attorney-General is set to decide on a long-postponed lese majeste case involving Thaksin. The case stems from comments he made about the monarchy during a 2015 interview, which could lead to further legal complications.

 

Paradorn disclosed that Thaksin had supposedly agreed to a "secret deal" enabling his return to Thailand from 17 years in self-imposed exile last August. As part of this arrangement, Thaksin avoided imprisonment, receiving medical privileges instead. These actions have consistently fuelled allegations of corruption and preferential treatment.

 

Upon his parole, Thaksin swiftly resumed his shadowy political activities, including hosting prominent international figures and engaging in controversial discussions that have rankled the ruling elites. His so-called ‘secret’ meetings and dealings have prompted the powers-that-be to caution him against overstepping his bounds, forcing Thaksin to reconsider his approach in wielding influence without crossing the delicate political lines in Thailand.
