  1.  I am no expert but I would surely think that drilling a hole down would be both a much,much quicker way to reach them and surely they can guide the tunnel just far enough away from them or even move them a safe distance from the breakthrough point for a short while.This idea of  4 month course on diving really worries me.How about some of them find that they cannot cope with whole thing especially if they cannot swim.and you are trying to teach a bunch of youngsters a very serious thing to save their lives after already going through hell in that dark environment.That in itself must put a serious damper on their spirits when seeing that first rescuer and thinking it’s all over. Man my feelings of pity is overwhelming for them. if you have to tell them they will have to stay another say 2 weeks till they have a hole to crawl through,please somebody just get on and do it.I am just an old Kiwi but my heart is in that cave with them——- Dougal

    I read about it in one of the news articles that at some passages they had to take the tank off. That gives a good indication of how small the passages are. I like your idea but i don't think its practical in this scenario unless they widen passages. 

     

    What I don't understand is (but I don't know where they exactly are) that they don't drill. Of course if they are too deep under that might take a long time too.

    Yes but surely nowhere near 4 months ????

    Additionally you should ask why he wishes to search you and what exactly he is looking for. To do so he has to have reasonable grounds for suspicion that you have something illegal. A "routine" search based purely on speculation is not allowed.  I recall on one occasion when being stopped by a Foreign Police Volunteer who wanted to search me and was very full of himself. When I told him what the law was and the consequences of searching me illegally he checked with his Thai colleagues and grudgingly told me I could leave.

    Same goes for searching your house. They need a warrant or reasonable grounds for suspicion. And they absolutely cannot come in to your house late at night without a warrant, end of story.

     

     

    Is it OK to tell them you said so !!!!!!!

    Here, read this and come back to me with questions, that way you'll know what you're talking about:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Thailand

     

    For info, for everyone else, tourist numbers have increased year on year but most importantly the average spend per tourist has also increased year on year. And as much as people might not want to believe it, Chinese tourists account for over 25% of all visitors to Thailand AND their daily average spend is also well over the average.

    55555555 Yes I couldn't make head or tails out of what Nasrulla was writing either but I have not the time to try and explain what some of these threads are about to some of these jokers,I just shrug and go on to the next---------- good on ya for trying.I must admit it does sometimes give me a bit of a chuckle and that's always good to start the day with:partytime2:

    Because there is 'lectricity' in the wires ?

     

    Really in most cases that immediate blue spark is normal as electrons jump from the house wiring to appliance. You can alleviate it by turning off the device switch before plugging in if possible.

     

     

    How long you been here,ever noticed there's only two wires------ no earth !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Aflotoxins are produced by fungus. The fungus can be spread through the air and inhabits warm damp areas. Milk processing is done in warm moist areas. It is very hard to eliminate because you don't want antifungals in your milk either. This is why there are acceptable levels allowed.

    According to the levelsI in and the levels regulated it is obvious that the present levels are WELL BELOW the danger limits so whats the big deal.I bet if I was to walk around your normal local market,I would see many terrible practices going on that would pale this into insignificance

    Ha ha ha Dutchbike, what a coincidence, check the TShirt design my aunts business has just made, as of today. (With permission of course).

    They just showed up and bought this to me. Very cool. Very surprised, she can read minds! It's the exact same bike. post-195861-1408965958556_thumb.jpg

    Obviously going too fast---- never mind it looks like the only damage is a buckled front wheel !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Good on ya Mike.There have been many times I have thought of doing something like that.I think I would tell my friends where I am going though.I am 8yrs older than him but still get that urge to just get on the old bike and disappear for a few days.It is probably something to do with just being in Thailand.I would never think of doing such a thing back in New Zealand. Maybe it's the occasional frustration of not being able to do things here that are so easy "back home",or just the restrictions that we Farang find annoying and these things can just crop up in our daily routine and leave us so exasperated.I love it here and am happy with a house,a good wife,and a couple of motorbikes and a tuktuk.I feel that there is nothing else I either want or need,but the restrictions that I mentioned will always be there,and they do spoil it.
