Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Friday denied as groundless a report that her fugitve brother Thaksin recently visited Chiang Rai in his personal jet, landing at Mae Fah Luang airport.

A government spokesman had earlier confirmed that the report was a baseless rumour, she said.

Ms Yingluck said she had no idea why the rumour was spread and asked the media to be careful and report only confirmed information, otherwise it would just spread confusion.

The plane reported to be Thaksin's has a tail number of HS-CPG. HS-CPG is registered to SIAM LAND FLYING CO. LTD in Bangkok and is a Beechcraft Hawker 800XP. Thaksin has a Bombardier Citation which is US registered and has a US "N" tail number.

If Thaksin landed in Chiang Rai in his personal jet then I think it would be easy to confirm. Unless, of course, Thaksin has an invisible plane - like Wonder Woman has. Maybe they could use those GT200 devices to detect it.

Disc 4 - " Where was the police in 2010 when the red-shirts invaded Bangkok?" You'll have to ask Abhisit and Suthep who opted to send in the military instead of the police in 2010.

Thank you BP reporters for not saying Thaksin is in self imposed exile but is a fugitive. That is what he is: self exile is for a noble cause, not for jumping bail and avoiding a prison sentence, arrest warrants and more court cases.

Yep, this information is so well founded and justified that we can see that this story is on the top head of all medias today and certainly tomorrow as well.
If would have been the Red Shirts or PT, we would have heard immediately about something like "propaganda" for this kind of things ....

CMfarang ,"it is only coincidence Yingluck is in Chiang Rai at the same time?"

LOL.It is not a coincidence, the usual Thaksin obsessed took the excuse that she came to Chiang Rai to invent one of their numerous groundless rumors. It is obvious. We are waiting for any serious proves but we won't hear of that anymore , as I mentioned before, there are hundreds of stories like this who ended to be big lies in recent years. So easy to give hundreds of examples.
Talking about those kinds of "informations" : do you have any news of the warrant arrest for terrorism issued by Interpol against Thaksin as it was stated by the previous government ?
