"I've kept an eye on Thaksin's move.… Don't take it seriously. This stuff is rubbish," he said. "Just let him do what he wants. Actually it's unnecessary to block his website because nobody will believe what he says."

However, Sitthichai warned, the website would be shut down if its content encouraged people to cause violence, oust the government or insult the monarch.

Thaksin's legal adviser Noppadon Pattama said on Wednesday that his client would set up a website soon to keep in touch with his supporters. The website would provide details of Thaksin and his family, as well as his arguments in the legal cases against him.

Meanwhile, Prasarn Marueka-pitak, chairman of the subcommittee in charge of the government's public relations, blasted Thaksin for telling the Japanese news agency Kyodo on Wednesday that he would return Thailand to face the facts and trial only when the justice system "goes back to normal".

Prasarn said that what Thaksin meant was a justice system he could control, as he had done during his years in power.

In his interview with Kyodo, Thaksin accused the junta of destroying the long-established justice system in Thailand in a very short period of time and interfering with justice by using "guns and tanks" to catch him.
