Capt Thamanat Prompow, the former Setthakij Thai secretary-general, is playing a game of "high risk, high return", says former politician and media firebrand Chuwit Kamolvisit.
The former leader of the Rak Prathet Thai Party believes Capt Thamanat is looking to win something of high value, rather than regain his cabinet post. Capt Thamanat, former deputy agriculture minister, was accused of plotting to topple Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in last year's no-confidence debate.
