Ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra ended 17 months of exile abroad by falling to his knees and kissing Thai ground at Suvarnabhumi airport. Thousands greeted him with banners and signs but Mr Thaksin said he wanted to be an "ordinary citizen."
His wife Khunying Potjaman, youngest daughter Paethongtan and Mr Thaksin's sister Yingluck went to receive him. Their son Panthongtae came back with Mr Thaksin from Hong Kong.
Mr Thaksin emerged from the airport VIP exit at 10:13. He fell to his knees and kissed Thai ground.
A huge roar went up from the waiting crowd. The ex-premier looked sombre as he gave a traditional wai of greeting.
Dressed in a dark suit, Mr Thaksin spent just 10 seconds greeting the crowd before boarding a car in a convoy of vehicles with a police escort, which whisked him out of the airport and towards Bangkok.
Mr Thaksin's first date in the country was to be before the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions.
Interior Minister Chalerm Yubamrung, Deputy Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat and Transport Minister Santi Prompat were at the airport to welcome the ousted premier.
Mr Thaksin will go straight to the Supreme Court to acknowledge charges over the 772-million-baht Ratchadaphisek land deal. He is expected to spend about an hour there, and ask for bail.
After that, he will go to Peninsula Bangkok hotel, where he will spend the night. If everything goes according to plan, he will hold a press conference there at around 1pm.
His residence in Bangkok is currently under repair.

På flyet fra Hong Kong blev Thaksin ledsaget af tidligere partifæller, sin søn og to spillere fra fodboldklubben Manchester City, som Thaksin købte for godt et år siden. Dermed understregede han, at købet var politisk motiveret for at øge hans popularitet i det fodboldglade Thailand. Den ene af spillerne, danske Kasper Schmeichel, har da også udtalt, at det ville glæde ham at se Thaksin få det tilbage, der rettelig tilhører ham.
gud kasper er nok lige saa klog som sin far ...
Jeg læste lige om dette på jp.dk

Det et eller andet sted klamt at han blander sig i Thai politik med sådan en udtalelse ................... måske det er svigerfar Kasper er ude at rejse med
så han er nød til at støtte op om famillien Taksin.

hvis han havde udtalt, at han håbede hans arbejdsgiver ville ryge 10 år i brummen, ville jeg da være endnu mere forbavset
nu får han jo en gratis ferie og måske en lille lønforhøjelse

ja, noget må der da falde af med en sådan opbakning, den kan da ikke være gratis hvis jeg kender Taksins omdømme ret
