The ex-premier, who is widely believed to be Pheu Thai's de facto leader, had initially planned to return on Aug 10. The plan was announced by Thaksin's daughter Paetongtarn "Ung Ing" Shinawatra last week on Instagram. Thaksin also believed he should wait as Pheu Thai was still holding discussions with other parties to join its new coalition, the source added. "I don't think Thaksin will return home anytime soon, out of safety concerns.
