Thailand’s democracy enters another phase just as a towering political figure from its past returns from exile.
Thaksin Shinawatra was whisked from the airport to prison to start an eight-year sentence.
There’s strong speculation that the former Prime Minister and his Pheu Thai party have an arrangement with the military for his return and a new government.
Meanwhile, the Move Forward party, which won May’s election, is sidelined.
So what’s next for Thailand?
