Police Superintendent Takes Off Uniform to Sell Pork at Local Market, Keeps Prices Steady Despite Oil Crisis

"Superintendent May," Police Colonel Tewakrit Maneerat, head of the investigation unit in Nonthaburi province and a Police Cadet Class 58 graduate, takes on the role of a "pork seller" to help his wife during his free time. Customers barely believe he is truly a police officer. He focuses on understanding and connecting with the public as the core of his service work. He has not raised prices, keeping them stable to reduce customers' daily living expenses.


On 30 March 2026, reporters reported that Police Colonel Tewakrit Maneerat, known as "Superintendent May," from the investigation division of Nonthaburi provincial police, wears a pork seller's apron and stands selling pork at "Aiky Pork Good Price," his wife's shop at Phee Ya Khon Rum Market, Khlong Sam Subdistrict, Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani province. The shop operates daily from 05:30 to 15:00, offering various fresh pork and chicken parts, selling about four tons daily. This is a main business that supports the family and provides for more than ten employees working at the shop.



Before becoming a pork seller, Police Colonel Tewakrit Maneerat, "Superintendent May," was a cadet in the 42nd class of the Armed Forces Preparatory School and the 58th class of the Royal Police Cadet Academy. He served as an orderly to many senior police officers and participated in solving several important cases. In 2025, he was promoted to the rank of Police Colonel and appointed head of the investigation unit in Nonthaburi province. He also joined the team investigating the case of a famous journalist who died from cyanide poisoning. He has served approximately 20 years in the police force. He is married to Ms. Pattarawadee Maneerat, owner of "Aiky Pork Good Price." On his days off, he wakes early to help his wife sell fresh pork and chicken at the market, and on working days, he attends to complaints and reports from the public as usual.




"Superintendent May," or the pork seller, said that since he was free from official duties, he helped his wife. Previously, they sold wholesale nationwide, but with economic changes, the business model had to adjust. The shop shifted to retail sales to give customers the chance to buy quality, standard products at affordable prices. Personally, he believes that the police profession and selling are different paths, but because he works closely with people facing problems and hardship, he understands their struggles. He applies this understanding to his sales and customer interactions, which have been well received. Many customers still do not believe he is a police officer, thinking he is just a pork seller. He wants to help ease his wife's burden.




"Superintendent May" added that although oil prices have risen, the shop still keeps fresh pork and chicken prices unchanged for customers. The shop's slogan is: "Nothing is free in this world; cheap must be reasonable. Cheap and good must be at Aiky Pork Good Price only."
