That’s what the Bangkok Post says today, quoting a Pheu Thai source:
The Pheu Thai Party is expected to appoint exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as a government trade envoy to promote Thai exports abroad, which will enable him to freely travel the world.
But Noppadon Patama, Thaksin’s lawyer, tells the WSJ that:
“Mr. Thaksin has never thought about taking on any official role, and Ms. Yingluck has no intention of appointing him.”
