Thaksin in Myanmar early November

Fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is scheduled to visit Myanmar in the second week of November, his legal adviser Noppadon Pattama confirmed on Thursday.

The trip would not be on Nov 10-11, as was reported by some media, he said.

During the visit, Thaksin will meet important people in the Burmese government and Thai people who come to visit him at Myanmar's Tachilek township, opposite Thailand's Chiang Rai province, he added.

Thaksin plans to stay in Tachilek for a few days to make merit and meet with his red-shirt supporters and Pheu Thai MPs, Mr Noppadon said.

He had no idea whether any cabinet ministers in the Yingluck government would travel to Tachilek to meet the former prime minister.

Mr Noppadom said he will announce details of Thaksin’s visit to Myanmar at the Pheu Thai Party’s headquarters on Friday.
