Thaksin is finished with politics: adviser

"Deposed premier Thaksin Shinawatra will leave politics for good and not contest elections promised for next year by the ruling junta, his legal adviser said Sunday.

"He will quit politics for good because his family wants him to quit, and I understand that he will not run for next elections," Noppadol Pattama told reporters.

Following the September coup which ousted him, Thaksin resigned as leader of his Thai Rak Thai political party. Noppadol said the deposed premier had no plans to return to Thailand "anytime soon" and would stay in Beijing "for a while".

Where have we heard this all before...at least twice. It's part of the games he is playing with the junta. You notice also that it's his Bangkok lawyer talking, not Thaksin himself.
