The Department of Juvenile Observation and Protection (DJOP) is evaluating whether to renew the contract of a seasoned expert in juvenile justice, Thicha Nanakorn amid budget cuts for hiring specialists.

 

A document released today by the DJOP outlines a policy to reduce staff numbers, particularly specialists and experts, during the 2025-2028 fiscal years. This policy has led to Thicha’s resignation, who served as the director of the Baan Kanchanapisek Vocational Juvenile Training Centre for Boys for two decades.

 

DJOP Director-General Police Lieutenant General Prawut Wongsrinil stated that the department is currently reviewing her performance to determine if her contract should be extended. He mentioned that, if necessary, an executive at the director level within the DJOP could be appointed to fill her position.

 


 

 

 

Thicha announced her resignation via a Facebook post last Saturday, expressing a mix of emotions.

 

“Instead of feeling shocked, I find it hilarious that I have to end this role after having it for 20 years.”

 

Since its establishment 20 years ago, Thicha has been the sole director of Baan Kanchanapisek. She has also been involved in several high-profile political cases, including those related to the Section 112 lese majeste law, reported Bangkok Post.
