Did Thaksin Shinawatra's wai to Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda have any political implications?

"The wai is a Thai traditional way for a junior person to pay respect to someone senior.



I don't want to interpret his action. I'm no longer his adviser. It was traditional. There were no political implications."

Noppadon pattama 

foreign minister

"I don't feel there was any significance. They did not speak other than to give a common greeting. However, the public may see it as an attempt to improve his image, but I don't think it will have any effect on the country's politics. They are not related."

Banyat Bantadtan 

Democrat Party Deputy Chief Adviser

"They should be able to leave their old scores behind. Time may help things to be better understood. We are Buddhists, so we should forgive each other. I don't mean who is right and who is wrong, but things that disturb their minds should disappear. "

Boonsrang Niumpradit 

Armed Forces Supreme Commander

"It was good for them to meet each other. It shows Thaksin's modesty. You must show respect to senior figures. I don't know what they talked about, but it may not have been about politics, because Thaksin has clearly announced he will not return to politics."

Somchai Wongsawat 

Education Minister
