The injured red-shirt leader Kwanchai said Thaksin had called his wife and offered medical treatment in Bangkok.
However, Kwanchai said he rejected the offer as he felt safer to be treated in hospital in Udon Thani, reasoning that if the anti-government protesters knew he is in Bangkok, they may encircle the hospital.
So he said he told the ex-premier that he preferred to remain in Ake-Udon hospital as if anything happens, he will be protected by his red-shirt sympathizers.
Kwanchai also denied neither a conflict with the military nor politics as a motive of the attempt on his life.
He said the military would see it useless to attempt on his life and he also has no personal conflict with anyone.
He ruled out political motive as he made clear he would not run in the election.
But he said the attempt on his life might be by opportunists attempting to instigate disorder and unrest in the country.
Kwanchai recalled the moment he was attacked.
He said the gunman fired shots one by one before spraying bullets into the office.
When he was hit by the first shot, he fell to the floor and was struck again by a another shot on his leg. Seconds later bullets were sprayed by the gunman into his office.
The hardcore red-shirt leader is now recovering from the gunshot wounds but has to remain at hospital.
