Thaksin poised to become adviser for Sri Lanka: Somchai

The Sri Lankan government is expected to name ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra as adviser, his brother-in-law and former Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat said on Wednesday.
Somchai called on the government not to be overly concerned about the move, alluding to the retaliatory measures when Thaksin became the adviser to Cambodia last month.
He said Thaksin working for Cambodian and Sri Lanka should not be seen as harmful to the security of Thailand.
In the past couple of months, Thaksin revealed he made two trips to Sri Lanka.
