Millions of dollars of his assets have remained frozen since the charges were laid.

The hearing - which relates only to the land sale case - comes a day before Mr Thaksin is due to fly back to the UK.

He owns Manchester City football club and says he has business to attend to there.

The court has approved his visit and says he must return to Thailand by mid-April.

Mr Thaksin's return to Thailand has fuelled speculation that he could be planning a political comeback.

But in a news conference on Tuesday, the ousted prime minister emphasised that he had no such plans and said he bore no ill will towards the coup leaders.

"Let bygones be bygones," he said. "We are moving ahead. Let's move the country forward."

He would devote his time to business interests and charity work, he said.
