BANGKOK, Thailand – The Ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Chinawatra is going to return to Thailand in the morning of April 13, 2012 by his private flight.


Thaksin Chinawatra the Thailand Ex-Premier announced on Thursday 8, 2012 through a VDO conference of The United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship ( UDD) at The United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship Office that he would return to Thailand on April 13, 2012 to celebrate Songkran Festival with his beloved Thai people.


“Six years to stay outside Thailand was a bad time for me. I was unhappy to live without my family, my relatives, and all of you who were my supporters. I thought this year is a great time for me to return to my country and celebrate Songkran Festival with all Thai people,”said Thaksin.


He  also  declared  that  he would not return as a Prime Minister or a politician because his sister Yingluck Chinawatra  could be a perfect Prime Minister for all Thai citizens, but he just wanted to return as a Thai citizen who could stay peacefully  in  the homeland.


Chalerm Yubamrung, the Deputy Prime Minister who confirmed Thaksin’s speech declared at the Government House in the morning of Friday, March 9 that this year would be a great time for the Ex-Prime Minister  to  come back to Thailand  and  it  should  be  the  time  that  all  Thais  stop  disputing.


“This  is  an  auspicious  moment to welcome Dr.Thaksin. Now we have democracy and the government that came from  an  election. I believe Dr.Thaksin  is  the person who can bring  peace and  happiness back to Thailand,” said  the  Deputy Prime Minister.


Reporters  asked Chalerm whether he believed that there would be no resistance from groups of people who disliked Thaksin. Chalerm assured that Thaksin would return to Thailand as general Thai citizen and he did not want to revenge his enemies.


 “Dr.Thaksin just wanted to return to his homeland where he has leaved for six years. He did not want to return as a Prime Minister but he just wanted to be a consultant who can give professional advices to develop Thailand to be a prosperous nation,” said Chalerm.


Chalerm  finally confirmed that Thaksin will arrive at Suvannabhumi  International  Airport in the morning of April 13, 2012 by his private flight.


“Dr.Thaksin will arrive Thailand at 9.00 a.m. by his private flight. He also hopes to see his beloved supporters at Suvarnnabhumi International Airport on that day,” said Chalerm.
