Hong Kong has become safe haven for Thaksin and his family after the British government cancelled the visas of Thaksin and his wife; Pojaman Shinawatra last month after a Thai court sentenced in absentia to two years' jail.
Thaksin and Pojaman divorced divorced last month at the Thai consulate in Hong Kong.
