Thaksin's children thankful for campaign seeking royal pardon

"But we will decide when the time comes whether we will be among the one million signatures," she said.

Pinthongta was speaking at a press conference along with two older siblings, Panthontae and Paetongtarn.

Thaksin's three children appeared at the event to donate Bt500,000 from the sale earnings of their book, "Others call him Thaksin but we call our father", to five charities.

Panthongtae said his family will continue to organise events to raise funds for charities, particularly those aimed to assist the youth groups.

Pintongtarn said the three will assist their father in anyways they can although they do not want him to remain in politics.

She shrugged off the speculation that the three might contest the general election. She also ruled out the rumour that the three might make an appearance at the red-shirt rally.

"We will not appear on the red-shirt rally stage because we have other commitments, including our filial duty," she said, though thanking the red shirts for their kindness toward Thaksin.
