Pol. Maj. Gen. Supatee Boonklong, Investigation Division Commander for Provincial Police Region 1, made a special trip down to Pattaya to preside over the celebrations. He congratulated Pol. Col. Sukthat saying, “Pol. Col. Sukthat is like a younger brother to me. We have served together on many assignments and I know him to be a good and honest man.
