Ban Pong Police Chief Honored as 'Creative Person of the Year 2025'
Police Colonel Kobchok Lektrakul of Ban Pong Station has been recognized for his dedicated service and swift response to local criminal investigations.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Police Colonel Kobchok Lektrakul, the Superintendent of Ban Pong Police Station in Ratchaburi province, has been unanimously selected as the recipient of the 'Creative Person of the Year 2025: Good Person of the Land' award. The selection committee honored him for his ongoing commitment to public service, volunteer spirit, and collaborative efforts with local communities and various agencies.
One of the key achievements cited by the committee was his leadership in a high-profile investigation on July 30, 2025. Following an incident where a suspect allegedly threw toilet cleaner at his former girlfriend inside an optical shop in Ban Pong, Colonel Kobchok personally led the investigative team. His efforts resulted in the apprehension of the suspect within a single day, a feat that local residents praised for restoring a sense of security in the area.
For residents and travelers, this recognition highlights the proactive stance of local law enforcement in Ratchaburi. While the award celebrates his professional conduct and efficiency, it serves as a local commendation rather than a change in national policing policy. As of now, the legal proceedings against the suspect in the July 30 case remain ongoing, and further details regarding the formal award ceremony have not been publicly disclosed.
