He will be promptly arrested the moment he stepdown from his plane. and he will be charged and prosecuted for corruption especially on his deals with Shinco and temasek holdings and strings of other charges. I don't think he will dare to attempt to comeback. the stakes are stack so high aginst him. He will be better off in exile permanently.

I think he'll go some place else. He's not welcome in Thailand.
Here's a letter from Thailand this morning.
'When my wife finally stopped singing and dancing around with our son at 7.45am this morning, she shouted out "Damn good!"
a) few people outside Thailand really know how Taksin has so cleverly usurped, benefitted from financial corruption instead of tackling it, bought up enormous tracts of his own country in areas of future development, bought foreign homes while barring foreigners from doing the same here, sued every major media outlet that criticised him and done NOTHING for the poor, and especially the hilltribes. Smiled at foreigners while restricting visas even further and pursuing policies which may ultimately be seen to be xenophobic. Full of promises and no delivery. Even his home city Chiangmai has waited a year in vain for his promised 53m baht to tackle flooding.
b) yes, he was democratically elected. The second time. Like another western premier we could name. At the first one he bought his way in with the "million baht per village" offer. That turned out to be a loan, not a gift of course, but it did the trick. Literally!
c) In my personal view this bloodless coup would not have taken place so smoothly, if at all, without the tacit consent of His Majesty. Maybe the writing was on the wall days ago? It is reported that Taksin took his whole family to the UN conference - unprecedented.
d) Dancing in the streets? Well there should be wherever thinking people are to be found (ie mainly in Bangkok). What we have in the streets here are lots of armoured personnel carriers and soldiers with rifles slung, looking a little bored and confused. But they don't mind having their photos taken as I proved on the way into the office this morning. Not allowed to talk, though, and many don't know what is happening.
e) Next? One of many responsible comments by General Sonthi was that the army would not hang on to power for very long. A coalition government, maybe with the promising young Democrat Abhisit to the fore, could be great!
f) We live in quite exciting times, but feel totally safe and very curious about the spin-off effects. Prayerfully this can only be good for Thailand!'

He will be put under house arrest. The army will based on the orders of the King, proceed with the next course of action, that would be a new General election. However, if they refuse to do so, the army may take control of Thailand just like what Pakistan went thru.

Most probably more bomb blasting going on @ the southern area
I don't know man, i think Thaksin is not a good leader, look how diversed Thailand is right now, From the northern area to the southern(esp here), I've nothing much to say about him.

According to Reuters:
Concerns about a conflict or even a counter-coup by Thaksin's supporters were dampened by news that Thaksin's main deputy, Chidchai Vanasatidya, had been "invited to stay" at Army Headquarters.
Thaksin was welcome to return to his homeland, Sonthi said.
"Thaksin is a Thai and a fellow countryman and there will be no problem should he decide to return," he said.

Who knows? It's not for sure he would go there. If I were him, I'd stay out for a long time. He hasn't been good for the country. Hopefully, he won't come back and try to demand he be put back in power. That would cause problems. Just wait and see.

Do you think he might change his plans? I think he might. How about nothing because he will not return. People usually do not when they are not safe.
