However, Pol Maj Gen Surachet felt "uncomfortable" there due to his different working style from his superior Pol Lt Gen Thitiraj Nhongharnpitak, a police source told the Bangkok Post. Pol Maj Gen Surachet's polite and soft personality, which has earned him the alias "Sweet Joke" (his nickname) and his easy-going character are also believed to be other factors. While he was there, the idea of splitting off the division came to his mind, Pol Maj Gen Surachet said. The name of Pol Maj Gen Surachet has become more prominent since the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) took power. Pol Maj Gen Surachet also has a good work record ranging from crackdowns on drugs and car robberies to operations to deal with transnational gangs.
