Thaksin has paid a visit to Fiji's coup installed PM, military commander Frank Bainimarama, as reported in The Australian:
Fugitive former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra's secret Fiji talks
"The subject of their discussions, held in Mr Bainimarama's office in Suva on Monday, is unknown, but informed sources in Fiji say Mr Thaksin is considering investing $300million in the country.
In return, he would probably be assured safety there from extradition, if he should choose to use Fiji as one of his bases in exile. Thailand is seeking to return him to Bangkok, where he faces two years in jail for abuse of power"
Surely those reports about Thaksin looking to do a deal with the the coup leader are incorrect, and the real purpose for Thaksin's visit must have been to advise Bainimarama about the principles of democracy and how to quickly return power in Fiji to the people.

Sounds like fiction to me (the visit) although i don't know anything abt Fiji.
Not to diss The Australian, but the story sounds like it came from The Nation, not a reputable newspaper.
How many passports does he have? How many billions does he have to invest?
The whole thing sounds like a joke.
O ye of little faith...........and I thought I was a skeptic:)
Bang on the nail Hobby, Kuhn Thaksin clearly holds the moral high ground with respect to democracy and without a doubt his sole aim would have been to give Bainimarama a good telling off. If he doesn't get his assurances/passport and after leaving Fiji, that is... :-D
FB: I'm waiting for further news before commenting further - just in case Joy & Fonzi are 'on the money':)
btw, congratulations on your engagement - I hope the stupidity in france does not spoil your wedding plans.
How is the son enjoying Chiang Mai - can you afford to take him to the Xcentre? I think most 14 yo's would find something there to keep them occupied, although its a bit expensive for my tastes - In the old days such activities were very cheap, probably because there was no liability, no insurance - those days seem to be gone - its probably for the best given how extreme some of the new activities are.
. it would be great if I were on Mr T's pay roll. I could have used the money to buy lots of stuff. I might even use the money to transform my land into sustainable and insecticide-free farmlands and orchards.
BTW< FB congratulations on yr upcoming wedding!!:-) I wish u would invite me to yr wedding.:-)
