Thaksin wins warm welcome in Phuket
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra drew crowds of Thai and foreign tourists while visiting Phuket’s popular Patong Beach area on Tuesday night.
Accompanying him were Chart Pattana Party’s chief adviser Suwat Liptapanlop, Thaksin’s brother-in-law former premier Somchai Wongsawat and his wife Yaowapa, who is Thaksin’s younger sister.
Images of the group and Thaksin posing with tourists were posted on the Phuket Info Centre Facebook page. Thaksin was surrounded by bodyguards while he posed to take selfies with his fans.
