The Foreign Ministry is checking a report that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been expelled by the United Arab Emirates and is heading for Siem Reap, Cambodia, according to Chavanont Intarakomalsut.
Mr Chavanont is secretary to Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, said on Friday the ministry is seeking confirmation.
Panich Wikitseth, assistant to the foreign minister, said only that the UAD had promised not to allow Thaksin to use Dubai as his base for political activities against Thailand.
The report was quickly denied by Thaksin's close aide Noppadon Pattama.
Mr Noppadon said the report was not true. Thaksin was still in Dubai and had no plan travel to Cambodia during this time, he said.
He said Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra, Thaksin's ex-wife, was now in Hong Kong, not in Dubai as reported, and that his two daughters, Pinthongta and Praethongtan, were in Germany.
Mr Noppadon said Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's younger sister, had also travelled abroad, but did not mention the country.
