Saying “I miss my motherland,” former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra returned to Thailand on Thursday, 17 months after being ousted in a coup, and said he was ready to face corruption charges that have been brought against him.A crowd of about 4,000 supporters cheered as his plane landed at the international airport here to open the next chapter in a political confrontation that has set back democracy in Thailand.
