CHIANG MAI: -- Chiang Mai's top cop immediately rewarded two of his officers after they became internet celebrities.

 

The cops had helped a woman who fell down in the street. They ensured she got to hospital with one of them getting a lot of likes online as he cradled the woman in the pouring rain putting her in an ambulance.

 

Chief Sarayuth Sanguankhophai hastily arranged citation certificates for the officers telling the press they were fine examples of the local force.

 

Khongsak Kongngern, 32, who had carried the woman and Wisoot Moonloke, 26, received their awards at police HQ within hours of performing their duty.

 

They had been on patrol in the Ratchapreuk Park area when they saw the woman who had fainted in the middle of the road. They gave her first aid, called medics and ensured she got to Maharat Hospital.

 

Pictures of the incident were shared widely online.

 

The woman is recovering. Her name and address are not known, said Thai Rath who called the police heroes and more handsome than handsome in their headline.

 

The cops just said it was all in the line of duty.

I'm surprised they haven't been given an audience with the Pope

Chances are she was a spunky sort !

Ah yes, a perfect opportunity for the B.I.B.s to show their softer side. Showcase this guy and maybe we will all forget what a rotten, corrupt bunch of earslings these guys really are.

The Congregational medal of honor or the Victoria cross would be more

appropriate.... hail to the heroes who risk thier lives to help carry a woman

to an ambulance in in a heavy rain too....

Generalisation is dangerous.

Not all are bad, not all are good.

They are, in short, human beings.

'Chief Sarayuth Sanguankhophai hastily arranged citation certificates for the officers telling the press they were fine examples of the local force.' By which he meant exceptions. And typically RTP OTP.

I like the 'human beings' comment.... implying unlike other kinds of animals.... we can tell ourselves all kinds of nonsense. 

regular animals can only live moment by moment.... as if they were going thru life chanting or meditating..... 

but we humans have stories we tell each other... endlessly....

like this wonderful police story, for instance.

seems like just basic human decency

If Thais think they are "handsome men" maybe the ladies here haven't been lying to me all this time.

Thai propaganda is still rough around the edges but they are learning.
