Thai diplomat: Former PM Thaksin in UAE

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is in the United Arab Emirates visiting “old friends and business associates,” Thailand’s top diplomat in Dubai said Wednesday. Thai Consul-General in Dubai Pasan Teparak said Thaksin will be in the United Arab Emirates “for some time,” but quickly added the former prime minister is “not staying long.” “We don’t know his plans,” Teparak said. “He has no official status in the government, so we don’t keep track of his movements.”

A picture in Dubai-based Khaleej Times newspaper on Wednesday showed Thaksin shaking hands with an Emirates’ government official in Abu Dhabi.
