The transfer orders were signed by national police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda. The four senior officers are Bung Kan police chief Pol Maj Gen Thiwa Bundamnern, Phetchabun police commander Pol Maj Gen Sant Phoraksa, Amnat Charoen police chief Pol Maj Gen Tawai Buranarak, and Saraburi police commander Pol Maj Gen Chairat Thipayachan. Road safety was a top priority during the holiday and those who are not up to the job knew they would face severe consequences, he said. Their transfers were prompted by poor road safety records in their provinces during previous Songkran holidays, he added. He said he informed senior police officers personally that road safety must be considered a top priority during Songkran.
