description: "Police Lieutenant colonel Wijan Ponlid is a Thai boxer who competed in the Men's Flyweight division at the 2000 Summer Olympics and won the gold medal. He returned to Thailand to a hero's welcome: honored with a new house, over 20 million baht, a job promotion, and paraded at the head of a procession of 49 elephants through the city of Bangkok. He has the nickname \"Thai Pea\", in reference to another great southpaw defensive boxing master, Pernell \"Sweet Pea\" Whitaker."
