Chalerm ska bossa i det kommande knarkkriget.
Det har tidigare uttalats att det denna gång inte ska rensas bland knarkarna med hjälp av handeldvapen.
Av 1,2 miljoner knarkare i Thailand så vill Chalerm och hans kollegor vid ” the national drugs suppression centre”
att 400 tusen knarkare skall rehabiliteras till att bli goda och nyttiga medborgare igen.

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung has been appointed director of the national drugs suppression centre, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said on Sunday.
Ms Yingluck said this after chairing a ceremony to open the national drugs suppression centre at Government House.
The ceremony was attended by Mr Chalerm, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit, Justice Minister Pracha Promnok, Public Health Minister Witthaya Buranasiri, Social Development and Human Security minister Santi Prompat, Defence Minister Yutthasak Sasiprapa, army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha and acting police chief Priewpan Damapong.
Under Mr Chalerm's supervision, one of the centre's objectives is to bring 400,000 of the estimated 1.2 million drug addicts throughout the country - most of them aged between 16 and 24 - back to be an able force of the country in one year in responding to Her Majesty the Queen's wish to see the drug problems solved.
The centre will also cooperate with other countries to prevent cross-border drug traffickings and lay down a plan to create immunity against drugs, the prime minister said.
