The story of Chamlong Srimuang of Thailand, Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Government Service, 1992. As governor, the former soldier taught six million people of Bangkok to be clean, inside and out.

A devout Buddhist, he followed the example of the monks who were his first teachers, to favor peace over violence.
