The Thai Police Without Belly project working group invites police officers to join the launch event for the "Thai Police Without Belly" project. On Wednesday, November 18, 2026, from 12:00 to 16:00, the Royal Thai Police Office will hold health check-ups, obesity screening, and health risk assessments including weight measurement, waist circumference, and body composition analysis to evaluate fat accumulation and basic body composition. The event also features a lecture by a clinical nutritionist on "Smart Eating for a Healthy Life: Managing Obesity and Preventing NCDs," providing knowledge on healthy eating to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. Celebrity athlete-police officers will attend, including Pol.Lt.Col. Chanathip Chomchuendee, national team gymnast; Pol.Capt. Phasapong Am-sa-ang, national team pole vaulter; Pol.Capt. Siraphon Phonphae, former national team track athlete; and Pol.Capt.Dr. Waraporn Charoenphon, orthopedic surgeon and preventive medicine specialist. There will also be fun aerobic dance sessions led by three famous instructors: Kru Jeno, Kru Nong Off, and Kru Pee Pui. Pol.Lt.Col. Pawanrat Rattanasumawong, spokesperson for the Police Hospital, invited police officers to participate in building good health under the slogan "Become Your Strongest Version! New Era Police Care About Health - Join to Get Fit, Conquer Belly Fat with the 'Thai Police Without Belly Year 70' Project." Overweight and obesity, especially abdominal fat accumulation, are key factors increasing the risk of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems that can affect quality of life and work performance. The project aims to raise awareness among police officers about the importance of health care, reducing overweight and obesity, changing lifestyle behaviors appropriately, and staying away from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Interested police officers can register for the project via QR codes on public relations channels free of charge and receive a limited-edition commemorative bag.
