Chiang Mai policeman, Thar become a social media sensation after a Facebook user posted his picture and pointed out how much he look like our dear leader Prayut chan-o-Cha
Monrtin Punyafu posted picture of Sen Sgt Maj Tharathip, squad leader at Mae Rim police station, on Friday after the officer came to keep watch on the recent Lanna Architecture Expo.
Khaosod online picked up the post before it went viral. Lately it has attracted over 840,000 reader and 110,000 shares.
At first, officer Tharathip was shy and declined to talk to the media. But in the end he agreed to meet them after being fooded with calls and requests for a chat.
The 40-year-old policeman was chuffed by all the attention. He insists he does not really loo like Gen Prayut and the similarity is only from some angles.
" I think it's funny people say i look like the prime minister," he said. "Many people have mentioned it. But when I look at myself I don't think I look all that much like him. Only from some angles, I think. "
Nevertheless, so many people contacted him on his Line application he had to erase his account.
While on duty at the architecture expo, many people asked to take selfies with him. "Maybe it's because it was a bit dark at the expo, so people thought I look like the premier," he said.
Asked if there were a lot of young women asking to take pictures with him, he admitted there were.
"Some girl still ask to take picture with me", he said, adding, "I have talked and cleared this up with the one at home. No problems!" he smiled.
There was also no problems with his superior who thought that if anything it would bring attention to the work of the station. Pol Col Thammanoon Prayuengyoung, deputy commissioner of Provincial Police Region 5, said: "He does look like the prime minister from certain angles"
This is not the first time a dead-ringer of Gen Payut has been found. Two year ago, gym teacher Khamkian Bantao, of Nong Khai, also became famous when students at Pathumthep.
