Thaksin returns from palace but refuses to speak
The Nation, Bangkok
Caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra boarded a helicopter back from an audience with HM the King at Hua Hin Palace to Bangkok but declined to reveal about the audience.Thaksin arrived Bangkok at about 7pm. His motorcade headed back to his Chansongla residence.
Thaksin met the King who is now at Klaikangwon Place in Hua Hin at about 5pm, Prachub Khiri Khan.
Government Spokesman Surapong Suebwonglee described it as a routine meeting.
But it comes as parties in and outside government are seeking to resolve political dilemma.
Earlier Thaksin who refused to resign announced his resignation in March hours after he was granted audience with HM the King.
HM the King last month called on the nation's three top courts to act to end the deadlock, and they responded by nullifying the results of an April 2 general election won by Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party.
The courts as well as opposition parties have called on members of the Election Commission to resign before new polls are held. They claim the commissioners unfairly favor Thaksin's government.
Three commissioners remain in their jobs, however, leaving the situation in a stalemate.
