The event, organized by Prosecutor Kerati’s family, marked both his birthday and his recent appointment as Chief of the Provincial Court Prosecution Office in Pattaya City, under the Office of the Attorney General.

He is also a member of the Rule & Law Development committee under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajarakittiyabha Mahidol.
Beyond his public service, Prosecutor Kerati has been a committed advocate for children’s rights. Since 2013, he has served on the committee of the SafeguardKids Foundation, working alongside founding president Mr. Chale Wuthanun. His contributions have included efforts to advance legal reforms aimed at strengthening protections for children and improving relevant law enforcement practices.
Among the high-profile attendees were Piensak Sombatthong, Director General for Regional 2 Public Prosecution; Yaowaluk Nondhakaew, Director General for Special Litigation; Khumnueng Vongthaweesub, Director General for Regional 3 Public Prosecution; Deputy Mayor Wuthisak Rermkijakarn; Bang Lamung District Chief Patcharapol Sritanyanon; and Pol. Col. Anek Sarathongyu, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station.

The gathering reflected the high esteem in which the new prosecutor is held and underscored the strong ties between Pattaya’s civic and legal communities.
The celebration, attended by friends, family, and colleagues, created a cheerful and lively atmosphere, marking the beginning of what many hope will be a productive and progressive chapter for Pattaya’s judicial leadership.
