"Ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra says he will be back in Thailand soon - and will announce the exact date on Tuesday. In a telephone call from Beijing to a crowd of supporters in Chiang Rai yesterday, Mr Thaksin said he was coming home soon.

"On Tuesday, I'll have the answer as to when I'll come back," he told about 1,000 jubilant supporters who gathered at a market in Chiang Rai to celebrate "Thaksin Nostalgic Day" yesterday.

More than 200 banquet tables were set up with banners stretching across the venue hailing the ousted prime minister's homecoming plan. The event was organised by supporters of Mr Thaksin's, who call themselves the Thaksin Loyalists Club and are led by the owner of a beef noodle eatery."
