Could be a bit crazy at BKK tomorrow morning? I guess we know which side of the fence the new Transport Minister sits.

THAKSIN'S RETURN

Concourse G is ready for Thaksin's homecoming

Transport Minister Santi Prompat on Wednesday confirmed the completion of preparations to welcome former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport Thursday.


"I will be one of five individuals to board the aircraft after its landing to personally greet Thaksin before escorting him to the VIP lounge," he said.

Santi was he was glad and proud that the former prime minister would finally return home to fight his charges in accordance with the judicial proceedings.

On his flight TG 603 from Hong Kong, Thaksin would be accompanied by 13 supporters, he said.

He said he instructed airport authorities to close off the areas around concourse G, the location of the VIP lounge, between 6am and 10am for security reason as well as allowing Thaksin to greet his supporters.

The aircraft would taxi for disembarkation in front of the VIP lounge instead of using one of the arrival gates, he said.

The Nation
In reading the two portions I highlighted, it seems you didn't read the article you posted or else "charges" has two different meanings?
