This was not your usual gas stop drama involving forgotten wallets or a misplaced loyalty card. No, this was the stage for a heart-thumping pursuit that involved motorcycles, high school students, and, most chillingly, a firearm. The protagonists of this high-speed drama were Mathayom 3 students, known to us only as A and B, and their comrade, “Tern”.

At the core of this maelstrom stands the indomitable political activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, a sentinel for fiscal responsibility. With the fervor of a seasoned crusader, Ruangkrai has cast a challenge into the ring, calling upon Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to wield his gaze upon the sprawling renovation and procurement project that threatens to engulf Government House in a financial storm.
