Translation: A grandmother tearfully walked up to Pol.Snr.Sgt.Maj. Suwet Srisook and Pol.Snr.Sgt.Maj. Jadet Petchwichit were on duty today. She asked them to persuade her grandson, who is in Grade 9, to take his exams.

Hop on, boy!

He eventually got dressed and was escorted to school by the officers via motorcycle. How awesome.
Netizens applauded caring policemen and grandma
The post has been shared over 6,000 times, garnering around 1,500 comments. Many netizens have spread their love and appreciation for the policemen and grandma for being caring towards the young man’s education.
Translation: They are truly people who do everything for us. We need more cops like this.
Translation: It’s not common to have a policeman drove you to school like this!
Others commented on the importance of school and even got a bit personal to bring the message across.
Translation: The policemen have won my heart. Young man, you’ll see how important education is. Take it from someone who has screwed it up before.
Translation: One day, you will understand why the police and your grandma did that.
Don’t give up on your education, kids
To all the kids out there, having a policeman drive you to school might seem cool, but going to school every day by yourself is way cooler.
We all have lazy days, but it’s important for us to work hard. Now go get a backpack, and don’t make your grandmas cry!
