This kid  in the cave Piyarat Yodsuwan 14, can speak four languages, said the teacher: Thai, English, Chinese and Burmese. Teacher said that Adul is a hardworking student with a grade average of 3.9 out of 4. and 
He also joins in many activities after classes, such as football, volleyball and biking, and shows musical talents and can play guitar, violin and piano.

Those are all good qualities, but how about swimming?

You actually counted them?

Shouldn't the captain go down with his ship?

I wonder if they'll make any mention of "life jackets" (being used or having sufficient to provide for all the passengers and crew) or other safety equipment (such as life rafts)

Good point.

I think you have 0 experience cave diving, not not much.

 

Its like pot holing in murky sometimes blind conditions, with current, with kids with zero experience and some who allegedly cannot swim. It takes Navy Seals 5 hours to dive and trek there and the conditions the world leaders said were 'gnarly' apparently meaning their were complications and difficulties. And you think there are no problems trying to guide these kids through that? If one panicked in a tight area, ripped off their mask, tossed up silt into the passage etc etc they could all be screwed. I have been caving a number of times and even in water less conditions, on known routes it is pretty terrifying and dangerous squeezing through and around these shafts

What's your suggestion then, let them (the football team) wait until december, when the cave would be dry?

How about keeping the boys inside indefinitely, like an attraction?

Now, there's an idea.

In my case because I have no license?

 

I imagine other people's reasons might differ.

Do you drive without a license in your home country? If not why, and why do you do it here?

Second time, got stopped and fined 1000 baht on the spot for having a tax disc that had expired the day before and I had forgotten to renew.

Saved you from queueing in the 'cop shop'.

Checkpoints move around occasionally, so you can't avoid them so easily.

Why would you?

I think he'll be alright, and then some. Question is, when will he be satisfied?

The big White bus from the Airport to Ao Nang is 150 Baht and has been for several years.  It does drop you outside your hotel even if it’s up one of the small side Soi.

If you get the white Songteaw from the main road outside the airport then its 80 baht and they will drop you outside your hotel if it’s on their main route.

Well, there's also the 'mini bus/van' (car too, sp?) from the airport, which I was referring to. They are/was 70baht to the city.

Really!, call Thai embassy in Singapore, tell them to go buy masks, jump on a plane to Bkk, pick them up at airport, military hotshot to caves. 

Or ask for "donations" I know what I would be doing! 

Sell one of the subs?

Police said it was likely the man committed suicide.

Case closed.

He told police that he visited the store the day before in order to work out his method and plan an escape route. When he carried out the robbery, he escaped on motorbike to his friends apartment and hid for the rest of the day

Great plan. 

Next bust, Immigration offices.......

I would love it if Thaksin stepped up and said "Here you go. Here is the money for those masks.""

Like the pumps he ordered when the last big flooding occured?
