Former Chiang Rai governor Narongsak Osotthanakorn voiced strong disapproval of Tom Waller's documentary, "The Cave Nang Non," which chronicles the Tham Luang cave rescue.
Narongsak criticized the film for its alleged factual inaccuracies, its singular focus on one Irish diver, and its emphasis on bureaucratic obstacles rather than the collective unity crucial to the rescue's success.
Director Tom Waller noted the governor's early departure from the film's premiere, while a webpage review acknowledged the film's positive reception for exposing government bureaucracy and its narrative told through the perspective of Irish diver Jim Vorni.
