IN A SURPRISE move, the Superintendent of Phuket's Chalong Police Station, Colonel Vichid Intharasorn, has been transferred out on 24 hours' notice.
Colonel Kaitong Jantongbai, who has held the Superintendent's position at Tung Tong Police Station in central Phuket for about a year, has replaced Colonel Vichid in south Phuket what amounts to a direct swap.
Phuket Police Commander Major General Pekad Tantipong gave no reason for the change. Most senior police moves are made in regular appointments that come every six months.
The transfer is believed to be unconnected with the day-to-day running of either police station.
