Seh Daeng with his only daughter daughter, Khattiyah.Profile :
Khattiya "Seh Daeng" Sawasdipol was born on June 24, 1951, Ratchaburi province to Captain Sanit and Sa-ing. He was the eldest and only son among four siblings.
After graduating high school from Sri Wikorn School, he enrolled in Class 11 of Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School and Class 22 of Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy. He also earned three bachelor's degrees: a bachelor's degree in pedagogy in 1985, a bachelor of law degree from Pathum Thani University in 2002 and a bachelor of agriculture from Ramkamhaeng University in 2004. He had also earned a master's in sociology and environment from Chulalongkorn University in 1996, and a doctorate in administrative management from the University of Northern Philippines in 2008.
He rose through the military ranks and was appointed army specialist on April 1, 1999, a position he held until his death.
He became a widower after his wife Group Captain Janthra died several years ago. They had one daughter Khattiyah.
Khattiya first served in the political arena as a senior orderly to deputy defence minister and deputy prime minister under the Chatichai Choonhavan government.
He was known for his outspokenness after falling out with former police chief Sant Sarutanont over a land ownership dispute in January 2003 when hundreds of men ransacked a bar near Sukhumvit Soi 10. He later accused Sant of illegally helping policemen, who commanded the men during the melee.
He later went bankrupt after refusing to pay Bt20 million in reparation to Sant, who won a lawsuit he filed against Khattiya in August 2006.
Khattiya later had conflicts with the next police chief, General Seripisut Temiyavej, over the police raid of a gambling den. The police chief later lodged several defamation lawsuits against Khattiya.
He later publicly criticised Army commander General Anupong Paochinda for not taking action against the People's Alliance for Democracy for the seizure of both of Bangkok's airports. He went on to publicly curse Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan over his inaction in many cases of disturbances.
Khattiya founded a political party under his popular name Seh Daeng, but the Election Commission did not approve the name. He waited for two years before withdrawing his request and founding the Khattiya Tham Party.
He was shot by a sniper on 13th May and died at hospital on 17th May from gunshot wound to the head.
