Lots of talk in the Thai press and on TV that Thaksin is preparing a bid for Crystal Palace.
He may be wanted on several corruption charges in Thailand and he's been sentenced to jail in absentia but he'll never spend any time in a Thai jail or even Thai Courts and he is still seriously loaded and needs a hobby.
Whether he will pass the fit and proper test for the EPL I don't know but I reckon it's quite likely that he will, given the nature of some of the owners.
Shame he's chosen the wrong South London team to take an interest in. Despite the above, and remember he is basically an enemy of the Military and the Elite in Thailand, I'd welcome him as Charlton's owner if the current deal doesn't go through. I'm sure he'd spend more than 2% of his time on the club and as he spends much of his time in the UK he'd actually watch some games.

whilst we can tug ourselves off claiming it’s real football cos we’ve won a 3rd tier play off with Donny with honest Roland’s backing and not some crooked oil backed owner
as long as it’s not the scum having any success , that team from the black hole of surrey is too far away from SE7 to worry about, repeat ad infinitum 🙁
