If I understand correctly Khamronwit Thoopkrachang is also the Metropolitan Police Bureau chief (ie head of Bangkok police) who was photo op'ed with Khun Thaksin to pin his new stars on following promotion. I know this is Thailand but how can it be right for a serving police officer of this rank to also be the PAT board chairman - aside from anything how has he got the time with so much work to do to reform and reinvigorate his force
