The protagonist of this subterranean saga is none other than Governor Chadchart, who has become a beacon of hope against an unusual adversary—grease-clogged drains.

Unbeknownst to many, a harrowing tale unfolded near Matthayom Wat That Thong School on February 25, when a seemingly typical schoolday escalated into chaos involving two young boys.
