webfact Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Pictures courtesy of Thai Rath Thaksin Shinawatra has generously donated a substantial 1 million baht to support and encourage the border police who are defending Thailand's land. This gesture comes after a recent clash along the Thai-Cambodian border, which left 11 border patrol officers injured. On 3rd August 2025, Police Lieutenant General Surasit Sangkhaphong, Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister’s Office and head of the 26th class of police cadets, announced the donation. He handed over the funds, along with Police General Vinai Thongsong, a distinguished member of the police association, to show care and bolster morale among the Border Patrol Police. The donation recognises their sacrifices for safeguarding the nation during tense encounters at the border. In detail, Police Lieutenant General Surasit contributed 30,000 baht on behalf of the 26th police cadet class. Police General Vinai and representatives from the 43rd class added another 30,000 baht. Thaksin, in his capacity as an alumnus of the 26th class, generously supported with 1 million baht. The funds were received by Deputy Commissioner Police Major General Rungroj Thakulpunya and his team at the Border Patrol Police Command in Chachoengsao Province, where they manage border situations. The delegation attended a briefing on the current border situation and the actions taken by the units stationed there during the handover. The donation is considered a symbol of unity and solidarity with those in the line of duty, offering both financial aid and moral support. The recent clashes have highlighted the ongoing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, necessitating a strong and prepared border patrol force. The support from celebrities like Thaksin and high-ranking police officials demonstrates the value of national security and stability. This financial boost will aid in the recovery and preparedness of the border patrol officers, ensuring they remain equipped and motivated to handle future challenges. The focus on unity and recognition continues to be a vital aspect of maintaining effective border operations. The generous contributions, particularly Thaksin's substantial donation, exemplify a commitment to protecting Thailand's sovereignty and supporting those who dedicate themselves to this cause. Such acts of support are crucial in fostering resilience among the nation's protectors. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Rath 2025-08-04 3
