Thaksin expelled by UAE?

The Foreign Ministry is checking a report that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been expelled by the United Arab Emirates and is heading for Siem Reap, Cambodia, according to Chavanont Intarakomalsut.

Mr Chavanont, secretary to Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, said on Friday the ministry had received this report about Thaksin and was checking to verify whether it was true.

Concerning this matter, Panich Wikitseth, assistant to the foreign minister, said only that the UAD had promised not to allow Thaksin to use Dubai as his base for political activities against Thailand.

The report was quickly denied by Thaksin's close aide Noppadon Pattama.

Mr Noppadon said the report was not true. Thaksin was still staying in Dubai and had no plan travel to Cambodia during this time, he said.

He said Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra, Thaksin's ex-wife, was now in Hong Kong, not in Dubai as reported, and that his two daughters, Pinthongta and Praethongtan, were in Germany.

Mr Noppadon also said Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's younger sister, had travelled abroad, but did not mention the country.
