Former Thai Prime Minister and influential businessman Thaksin Shinawatra was released on parole on Monday morning from Bangkok’s Klong Prem Prison, where hundreds of supporters greeted him with chants of affection. The 76-year-old leader had returned to Thailand in 2023 after nearly fifteen years in exile and was convicted of abuse of power and conflict of interest charges. Following a period of hospitalization due to illness, he served several months in prison under court order.
Thaksin appeared energetic upon release, dressed in white and welcomed by his daughter and political heir, Paetongtarn Shinawatra. His release came months after Paetongtarn lost the premiership following a court ruling. Thaksin joked that his long absence from public life felt like a long sleep, expressing relief at his freedom.
Analysts believe his release could reinvigorate the Pheu Thai Party, which underperformed in the last election. However, observers caution that Thaksin must act carefully if he chooses to influence politics from behind the scenes. He will remain under electronic monitoring until September.
