Thaksin in a sentence

In 2009, Hun Sen appointed Thaksin as a Cambodian government adviser, but Thaksin soon resigned the position.

Anti-Thaksin groups have petitioned the corrections department to block any attempt to seek a pardon, citing that corruption cases should not receive clemency.

In a social media post on Saturday, Thaksin's youngest daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, said she would meet her father at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport on "Tuesday, August 22".

Indeed, Prayut led the country’s most recent coup, in 2014, which removed Thaksin’s sister Yingluck Shinawatra from power.

It remains to be seen whether this elite is prepared to accept another prime minister linked to Thaksin, who remains a bogeyman figure for them.

Most Western governments, even when they’re hectoring Bangkok on its human rights abuses, tend to agree with Thaksin: the problem isn’t the law, only its application.

On Wednesday, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of Thailand’s former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, announced on Facebook that her father plans to return home on August 10, after 15 years in self-imposed exile.

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Thaksin’s daughter, and her Pheu Thai Party have a huge lead, according to opinion polls.

Paetongtarn ‘Ung-Ing”’ Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of jailed former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, on Friday was elected the new leader of the Pheu Thai Party as widely expected.

Thaksin's backed Pheu Thai Party came second in the May election after the progressive Move Forward Party.

The Shinawatra family’s bitter tussle with the royalist-military establishment has been at the heart of the drama, with Thaksin ousted in a 2006 putsch and his sister Yingluck unseated by Prayut in 2014.

The Shinawatras and their allies have won unprecedented majorities in five elections since 2001, campaigning on Thaksin’s name and populist policies that earned a loyal following among working-class Thais.

To date, Thaksin has not served one minute in a traditional prison cell.

As things stand, Thaksin’s dominance looks unstoppable.

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who led Thailand from 2001 to 2006 and fled after he was deposed in a military coup, was convicted in absentia of abuse of power.

It is among several Thai political parties, starting with those backed by Thaksin, banished in the past two decades.

Move Forward’s coalition partner Pheu Thai, the party of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, built a government instead under current prime minister Srettha Thavisin.
