Thaksin to leave China, says he has found asylum
Bangkok Post: 10 Nov 2008
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra told Reuters on Monday after having his UK visa revoked that he will leave Beijing soon, for an undisclosed location.
However, he said the new destination is not Manila, as the Thai media speculated.
The ousted premier also vowed to return and fight his political enemies in Thailand.
According to Mr Thaksin, he decided to withdraw the asylum bid since he believed it would be unnecessary, claiming that he does not want his freedom to be restricted.
Mr Thaksin said he planned to make longer phone-in speeches to his supporters again and he would expose the names of his political adversaries as they have driven him into a corner.
