Thyroid-stricken Thai police officer gifted renovated home by superior amidst financial struggle

[webfact]

 

A 53 year old Thai police officer Boonhiang, from the Samut Songkhram Police Station, who is currently suffering from an enlarged thyroid, was found living in a dilapidated home, leading his superior to help him find a new place to live and support him financially.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Sayam Inthrasuwan, Station Chief of Samut Songkhram’s City Police, was informed yesterday about the poor living conditions of Police Lance Corporal Boonhiang.

 

The Thai police officer, who frequently took time off due to his medical condition, was living in a rundown house with no proper sleeping arrangements. Upon learning about his plight, Sayam, along with Police Lieutenant Colonel Sangad Baubeddee, Deputy Station Chief of Samut Songkhram’s City Police, decided to visit Boonhiang at his residence.

On arrival, they found the Thai police officer living in a room that could be best described as a rat’s nest. He was sleeping on the floor of his decayed house, with no proper bed to rest.

Seeing this, Sayam arranged for a new residence for Boonhiang and contributed over 10,000 baht from his personal funds for home improvements. This included painting, and installing mosquito nets, window-doors, kitchen appliances, and proper bedding to ensure better living conditions.

 

Sayam stated that this initiative aligns with the policies of Police Lieutenant General Torsak Sukwimol, the National Police Chief, who emphasizes close care and concern for all subordinate officers.

Yet again another misleading headline, he was not gifted a renovated home, he was gifted with just 10k to have his house done up.
