Backstory

Great summary about the current situation by Sir Swag https://youtu.be/jQqGQZpzAis?t=472


Thaksin Shinawatra is a former PM of Thailand in exile due to a coup d'etat by Royal Thai Army in 2006. Announced his return to his home country (again) before the Thailand general election of 2023, which end up being a sham, orchestrated by the conservatives and the junta. It is generally well-known by now that Thaksin had a deal with the conservatives that by allowing him to return home, he would use his party (Pheu Thai party) to prevent a left-wing reformist party (Move Forward Party) that won the recent election from taking power.

It's also well-known that this guy got fooled by the conservatives on his many attempts to return home prior (Thai Raksa Chart Party - Wikipedia).


Timeline

  • Around March: Thaksin says that he will return (again, after 18 times he said it publicly) to Thailand post-election, expecting that his party will win the election in a landslide. Ex-PM Thaksin vows to return to Thailand post-election, face jail time (kyodonews.net)

  • 14 May: Thailand held a general election. The unofficial result shows that a left-wing reformist party, the Move Forward party, won the election. And, the Pheu Thai party come in second place with a 10% difference in the number of votes.


Condition

It is a yes if there's a confirmation that Thaksin return to Thailand within 2023.
