Earlier this week, the PTT Public Company Limited announced that
a police ooficer who killed himself,was obviously forced to do so,due to his bad performance at his work,its seems he did something bad to someone who doesnt deserve,in the end he regereted and felt ashamed against his honest oath during his police academy graduation, its a PHSYCHLOGICAL ACT,he was guilty of himself
A very selfish attitude and more that likely he was unstable in the head, why take your own life? Only the very weak minded take their own lives, which places more burden on those left behind, theyre the ones i feel sorry for…..
Police work is hard, no matter what country you are in. Sometimes officers commit suicide because of doing bad things they should not, no pity then. But when someone takes his own life because feels he will be burden on others because of health, this is so sad. Condolences to the family, friends and fellow officers.

A very sad case. It seems that the stress of being a Pattaya Police Officer was just too much to bear. I don’t consider the death suspicious and consider that the verdict is ‘killed by death’. Sincere condolences to all family and friends of the deceased.
