The Police Patrol and Special Operations Division (191) is looking for a capable female officer who is fluent in English to help it prepare for the Asean Economic Community (AEC).
One young lady who has applied for the job would appear to have the necessary qualifications. She has a bachelor's degree from King's College, University of London and a master's degree at Chulalongkorn University in public administration.
She is also very experienced in public speaking and is comfortable talking to the media.
One thing that Chitpas "Tan" Kridakorn probably left off her resumé, however, when she applied for the job is that she is also experienced in confronting the police force. She was frequently sighted leading People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) demonstrations against the then Yingluck Shinawatra administration during late 2013 and early 2014.
In one particularly famous incident she even climbed on a backhoe as anti-government protesters attempted to break through a police cordon around the Metropolitan Police headquarters in early 2014.
Many police officers were understandably incensed when they learned Ms Chitpas was being considered for the job, tying black ribbons on the antennas of their communication radios and the rear-view mirrors of their motorcycles as a symbol of their displeasure.
