Army And Police Ranks

Hi Y'All, thought I'd finally become a non-lurker...

I was wondering if anyone knew all the Thai Army ranks and could check this list for me and help fill in some of the abbreviations as I was simply guessing for half of them.

Field Marshal จอมพล

General นายพล พลเอก (Gen. พล.อ.)

Lieutenant General พลโท (Lt.Gen. พล.ท.)

Major General พลตรี (Maj.Gen. พล.ต.)

Colonel ผู้พัน พันเอก นายพัน (Col. พ.อ.)

Lieutenant Colonel พันโท (Lt.Col. พ.ท.)

Major พันตรี (Maj. พ.ต.)

Captain ร้อยเอก (Capt. ร.อ.)

Lieutenant ร้อยโท (Lt. ร.ท.)

Sub Lieutenant ร้อยตรี (SubLt. ร.ต.)

Sergeant Major 1st Class จ่านายสิบเอก (SM 1 ?)

Sergeant Major 2nd Class จ่านายสิบโท (SM 2 ?)

Sergeant Major 3rd Class จ่านายสิบตรี (SM 3 ?)

Sergeant สิบเอก (Sgt. ส.อ.)

Corporal สิบโท (Cpl. ส.ท.)

Private 1st Class สิบตรี (Pfc. ส.ต.)

Private พลทหาร (Pvt. ?)

If anyone knows how to distinguish the Thai army ranks from the uniforms I would be interested to know and also if there is any correlation to the number of pips and stripes and sub-ranks เอก, โท and ตรี?

Plus, I would be grateful if someone could share with us all the Police ranks and also thr different levels of office in the Thai political (national and provincial) government system?

hi jay33,

just a quick response as i'm heading off to work...i can highly recommend the domnern/satienpong thai-english dictionary 3rd edition (matichon press). excellent for many reasons, especially (in your case) for the appendices covering military and police ranks, along with thai government organs. a bargain at B 570.

i haven't seen a list of public service ranks that i can recall.

all the best.
