4 yesterday, strange if any less today

Why presume  to say that? 

Any one of a million factors could differ.

9pm Monday night in Australia and they are saying that all the boys have been rescued.  They are saying it was a team of Aussie medical divers that did it.  Not sure of the truth of it but good show if so.

why not post a link?

if you are so so clever, google UdonThani update, Pattays news also---use soap as a mouthwash-----enough said to you---lazy man   do your own searching---BYE,  anymore clever bad mouthing and admin will be notified.   No need for your tone.    Maybe your news on the rescue is far more good than other outlets

I gave you the benefit of the doubt before my last post.

So its pattaya news now, i thougnt it was Pattaya Post. I must have misread you.... Nope, it says pattaya post. Methinks you struggle with detail.

Yeah my mind isnt changed.

Y'all have a good day.

Not simple, just normal, you after brownie points,     look at the time it took to get the 4 out,   then count the days after they were found,  and the days before the boys got out-----shocking work and only 2% of people could do.  BUT with storage areas  on route  have  places to store oxygen,  but I am so simple to post on here, am I.  Blame news from Pattaya Post---and Udon Thani update  for info and other news outlets wanting to get on the band wagon.   Wouldn't it be nice for us all to have info from  1 official network.  See how many posters have been misled by fake news.....

Your absence of common sense cannot be explained away as fake news.

Erroneous reporting has occurred in some cases, but it seems you dont even understand the concept of fake news.

It is your lack of ability to read critically, or even correctly name your sources here, as, to my knowledge, the Pattaya Post and Udon Thani update  simply dont exist.

The pattaya mail however clearly says the pause was to replenish oxygen supplies along the route. 

If you can provide me links to these supposed sources of fake news ill happily apologize, but until then im sticking with simple.

EMERGENCY   evacuation because of drastic oxygen levels falling,   This morning I could not believe my eyes when it stated that they had a lack of full tanks of oxygen so it delayed the rest of the rescue.    May I ask who is the organiser of ordering enough full oxygen tanks ???     They should have been in place with more than  enough needed a week ago.  Now no news today yet.  WHY ???     have the kids oxygen enough in the cave   ??

And are you simple?

Numerous spare "oxygen" tanks need be distributed throughout the cave to allow divers to replenish on the move.

Those tanks cannot be restocked with the children being extracted. 

Nor can the extraction divers work endlessly around the clock without rest.

Last win 10 update killed all my vpns.

This thread is the best place to highlight it.

 

No hiding place, no denials and no face saving excuses.

 

The spotlight is on the cave rescue but tens of thousands of lives are at risk on the roads.

My apologies then, not sure how i misread your noble intentions as an opportunity to take a cheap pot shot, 

On behalf of thailand i salute your caring concern father.

It's funny you should mention penis sizes, because as well as statistically being the worst drivers in the World, the Thais also have one of the smallest average penis sizes in the World by nationality.

 

The horrible and quite preventable daily death toll is hardly a laughing matter however, and something definitely needs to be done about it. It is obvious it is beyond the ability of the Thai authorities alone to solve it, so what to do?

Perhaps save it for another thread? 

But where is the fun in that?

Considering a us citizen is eligible for a visa exempt upon landing in thailand, and a thai needs a visa to even get on the plane to the us, the whole topic seems to be based an a rather spurious premise.

However i do understand where the op is coming from and hereby propse a special Immigrant E - Entitlement Visa for just this situation

Once again smug foreign couch potatoes get their shot at the thais actually doing something to help.

It is as predicatble as it is pathetic.

Whats next, penis size comparisons?

its just plain funny.

its an education thing, i remember mandatory helmet protests in US and canada when the laws were introduced.

we have very short memories, if the law is strictly enforced now, it will be the norm for the next generation.

education is like that, anti littering campaigns, the banishment of plastic, seat belts, anti drink drive campaigns etc, all take time to become second nature, no matter where you are.

those who cant learn get old, die, and their children get it.

i love these threads. sigh.

I agree.  If I  knew that a cupcake contained cyanide and would kill you and still sold it to you then I would be charged with premeditated murder.  The government says that smoking kills yet still allows the sale of them.  If they know that smoking kills and still sells them then where is the murder charge for them.  It is all about revenue.  They couldn't give a toss about health.

your oh so simplistic analogy presupposes i dont already know the cupcake contains cyanide.

if i knew it contained cyanide, if, in fact, it carried a warning informing me of the cyanide how could you be liable?

and of course its about revenue. huge amounts of it. 

if there were no revenue to the government they most certainly would not allow the sale.

Thanks for the news. We Thais as the real taxpayers always wanna see our policemen do their own duty properly like that for a long time! There are illegal foreigners who did a lot of bad things in Thailand, make us locals really suffering and pretend to be innocent. Some of them dare to blame Thai locals without evidence even they evil foreigners do those illegal things themselves. <deleted> them all. I hate all of them. If you're a legal ones, you shouldn't fear our policemen. They aren't animals like American cops particularly for the whites or first worlders like many of you in this website. So, don't be nervous. By the way, where is the reference on the amount of overstayed foreigners in Thailand which you claim closer to 8,000? What is that report and where I can read the full text? Is mentioning only "a report" without its name or location of its full text enough to make first worlders and civilized persons to believe in something? And someone say Thailand is not for white losers! And many civilized angry white males keep insult Thais as third worlders! Wow, just wow. 

read the first post in the thread.

wow just wow

You mean the english? Why not just come out and say it?

Seems this topic is an excellent indicator or who on thai visa is or isnt a complete curmudgeon.

I have no love for liam Gallagher, but to not know who he is means you have pretty much managed to miss the last 2.5+ decades

Seriously, all of you, who cares?

How about actually contributing the thread instead slandering off other members

First of all, if written its libel.

secondly, many thai visa members deserve a slap for their moronic speculation - especially in matter like this.

And, third, the post that so offends you is offering actual commentary on the theread topic and responses, so far as i can see its you who contributes nothing.

I like these illumining information that a guy died surprisingly at the age of 85.

where does it say that? 

all i can see is that he died at 85 of natural causes, and given his family ir rated by forbes at 1.35 billion USD, his seems rather newsworthy to me
