Suthep Bestows Decoration On Top Surat Thani Cop

By Khaosod Eng.

SURAT THANI – The deputy commander of the Surat Thani police force has reportedly admitted to receiving a police decoration from the leader of the former anti-government movement, Suthep Thaugsuban.

In a photograph that went viral on the internet this week, Suthep can be seen bestowing the rank of deputy commander to Pol.Maj.Gen. Abhichart Boonsriroj, who was wearing a full uniform for the honour.

Suthep, the former Deputy Prime Minister who quit his post as a Democrat MP to lead six months of protests against the elected government last year, was ordained as a Buddhist monk shortly after the military staged a coup on 22 May 2014.

A number of Redshirts, who supported the former government, have criticised the photo on social media and accused Pol.Maj.Gen. Abhichart of displaying a political bias by giving the decorating honour to the hardcore Yellowshirt activist.

No he is the Supreme Backside!!

[longtom]

This picture is so absurd - words fail me.

No reason for that to happen.

Suthep is a major part of the establishment, instigator of stage one of the downfall of the previous elected government and admitted collusion with the current incumbents to achieve the current state of affairs.

Is this one of the additional duties of a monk?

Koh Tao is part of the Surat Thani policedistrict!! Wonder if the decoration was for framing scapegoats, spoiling the crimescene or contaminating the DNA??

Bestowed by a fake monk!

Sometimes this country makes me wanna puke!!

I would have been proud even to shake the hand of this monk.

He has saved Thailand from falling into the abyss.

Unfortunately not many men like him around.

He is and always will be a Hero for me.

I bet he's running for Sangharaja Somdet Phramaha Suthep (and with his dosh, will probably get it!)

of course lest not forget a certain "gentleman" living in Dubai, who pinned an medal on a Police official (in full uniform) in Hong Kong and the Police official just happened to be on a "private" trip,

so which is worse, political bias ? or receiving a policeman receiving a medal from a convicted criminal ?

I am sure Fab4 will be along shortly to make excuses or brand Suthep a fascist

Come on he deserved a medal for all the evidence he found on the red bull case.

First let me say that I admired his courage for standing on the platform day after day when under attack.

Now I think I have to say that he is one of the most corrupt, self centered, evil people in Thailand and who really gives a sh#t what he does.

Have anybody noticed how many kilo's K. Suthep have lost.......

Well let us hope he continues losing weight until he dissipates.

[animatic]

Suthep for many years has been the head man of Surat Thani Province.

His national doings were always devolving from his position as a MP for Surat,

and as a top leader for a long time of the south west of Thailand.

For a Surat top cop, he couldn't find someone with better credentials, face or power to pin on his award. And neither of them could give a rat's patootie about what the reds think of this.

The man is nothing short of a theiving grub who should be in jail. And by the way Costas do you know what he thinks of you !

He has publically stated that he has no time or respect for farang

cop "yes sir"

A post and a reply have been removed. Please be aware of Thailand's draconian defamation laws which are criminal as well as civil.

[The stuttering parrot]

The picture should be showing the policeman arresting him and throwing his ass into jail for ignoring a court summons .

The bullet proof Teflon coated monk and his other fake monk mate are a disgrace to Buddhism .

The same was said by the people of Germany and Italy in the 1930's. And you know why there aren't many "heroes" like them around.

[rickirs]

I have no issue with a Buddhist monk bestowing an honorable decoration on this policeman. Thailand is a Buddhist State whose Head of State must be Buddhist.

However, the choice of novice Suthrep as the presenter is problematic given the political and violent taints that follow him. He is still under arraignment for the criminal charge of sedition. There are more respected and senior practioners of Buddhism who have been dedicated to the faith who bear no political or violent taints who could have been called to perform this ceremony.

Whether intentional or not, Suthep's presence is a political statement. If this event goes without government comment, it will further question the sincerity of NCPO claimed nuetrality in its political reforms.
