Sondhi may take pilgrimage trip to India or Nepal


After surviving attempted killing, media mogul Sondhi Limthongkul may decide to seek solace by taking a pilgrimage to India and Nepal to follow the Buddha's footprints, said Manager newspaper's ex-executive editor Paisal Mangkornchaiya.

Speaking on his F.M.96.5 MHz radio programme, Paisal quoted a close aide of Sondhi as saying he may reveal in his press conference on Friday about his determination to take a pilgrimage trip in India or Nepal for a long time.

Sondhi is scheduled to speak for the first time on Friday about the assassination plot against him.

Sondhi had earlier sought solace by having ordained at Wat Pa Ban Tad in Udon Thani.

Paisal offered his own political analysis that he believed Sondhi' decision to stay abroad would not affect the PAD political movement because he can video link to Thailand the same way former prime minister Thaksin Shinwatra did.

Paisal also believed that Sondhi would not reveal much about the  assassination attempt on him. "He might be able to say only about the incident but not who is behind it or whether the mastermind are police or military men,'' he said.
