RIP Narongsak Osottanakorn ????

He conducted his life and work with due diligence and did his duty..

Rest in peace.

God rest his soul. He was well liked in Chiang Rai, and led the cave rescue well.

He is pretty much the only official I respected.

A good and very competent man gone far too soon.

RIP

RIP sir.

He did his best with diligence and honesty. An example to all government officials.
