A pink "Hello Kitty" armband wrapped around a khaki-clad arm is shouting for attention at the police Crime Suppression Division.
It is a new disciplinary measure introduced especially for police investigators who refuse to play by the rules.
Starting this week, the warning will come in the form of the popular Japanese cat cartoon sitting on a heart on a pink background.
"The same old warnings no longer work for some officers," CSD acting chief Pongpat Chayaphan said.
"This new approach is intended to engender a feeling of guilt and discourage them from repeating the offence."
Offences liable to earn an officer the pink Kitty include failing to report for duty, parking in a prohibited area, fighting, or being the subject of a complaint about poor service.

Taking advantage of the Thai need to save face, it'll be interesting to see whether it works.
