You are correct; a lieutenant colonel and his/her name, which is unusual, (the naming of names). It would be interesting to know how these ranks are attained. Does one train as a doctor, then as a police officer? Or are they honorary titles? I have always heard good things about the Police Hospital in its abilities and facilities, which is not surprising, given their "customer base's" exposure to harm and injury.

I'm not sure, I do know they are enlisted police officers,  uniform etc but not sure if they also go through police training or just medical training and apply to the police hospital, being a dr there may automatically make one a police officer with a rank.

Wait, the police have their own hospitals?  I can understand military hospitals, but the police?  Bet they can afford the best Dr's money can buy.  No wonder the Dr can afford one!

They specialize in the resuscitation of asphyxiated interviewees and, when necessary, falsification of certificates of death.

A Porche priced at 7.5M baht is a poor mans Porche when 911's are selling 24M baht.

No, I certainly am not!   You need to read my response to his comment in the context of what he said to me.

Finance perhaps, as most people do?   

 

He's a doctor, not a "police doctor" a phrase you seem to be using to suggest that he's not paid that much.

It isn't just for the police. 

 

It's not the glamour and glitz of the international hospitals but it is a good place.

 

It is cheap. Like a dressing change in Soi Convent will cost you 1200 Baht. This place would be 80 baht.

 

Cheap and cheerful. Not what you are dreaming up.

Yes, I do know how much Thai doctors can earn.  I also know that repayments on a finance agreement, probably aided with a trade-in ( not many people go straight for a Cayenne as their first vehicle) can be easily managed on a doctor's salaries.

Please enlighten me with some figures - always keen to learn.

More than enough to manage the monthly repayments on a finance agreement.

I think "A Police Hospital doctor" means he's a doctor who works at the Police Hospital, not that's he works for the police. As with all hospitals, doctors work at several, so I don't think I would read too much into the misleading opening of the article.

you may be correct, but pretty sure I have seen some doctors use their police rank in their hospital profiles. e.g. Dr. Police Lt. Col. xxxxxxx

He's a doctor, and doctors might have a different income and status...????

 

I've been told by both Thais, and my luk khrueng daughter, that there are two options for career in Thailand, and they are either the military - which is mainly for boys, often beginning at the right military school in M1 - or become a doctor, which is the the only option for girls. Probably origination from old time, when trade was something the Chinese did; they later settled and became Thai citizens...????

The Police General Hospital is a public hospital that anyone can use, it's not exclusive to members of the police force.

True.

A PORCHE must be a poor man's Porsche.

Probably made in Schina.

[RJRS1301]

It is a nice SUV, however I would imagine well within the wage structure of a doctor.

Had it been a Bentley SUV then that may raise an eyebrow, but still affordable

Doctors make between 60000 and 150000 Baht a month and with some extra work at a private clinic or hospital they can make between 2 to 3 million Baht a year. More than enough to lease a car or pay it off over the course of a number of years or just get a credit from the bank to buy it in cash.

Very convenient that his alcohol level was slightly under the limit. I wonder how many hours they gave him to sober up before testing.

 

Probably compensation of around 100,000 per victim, a few Wais (maybe even a monkhood) and all is forgiven. Worst case scenario for the police "doctor" would be a suspended sentence.

Why would you compare one of the most expensive 911s to the least expensive Cayenne?  Using your logic, I could call the 911 the poor mans Porsche.
