I wonder --- the boys already rescued are of the older ones, 14 yo.
And they should be the weakest ones?
Don't really believe it ... -

Good ! let's not forget everybody, making food or anything else is also a part of the rescue
Be asured, Aforek,
if something will never be needed to be reminded in this country --- it's to prepare enough food ...

As far as I understood this article http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/ride-hailing-taxi-service-ok-cars-must-properly-registered/ Grab is legal in Thailand.
Or did I misunderstand it? -

Since the boys were found I read more and more posts now which, since they can’t bicker much anymore about the bad rescue management or hundred other things, are pouncing on the soccer coach like hyenas.
These posts are not less shortsighted than this guy when he went together with his team into the cave!
Many of us complain about the poor education system in the kingdom, suppressing development of own opinion, hindering critical thinking and/or become able to take a view outside the square.
What do you expect from a 20 yo countryside guy like him grown up in this system who most probably never learned to plan for much longer than the present moment?
IMHO you these voices are simply unfair. This man spends a significant part of his free time trying to show his team alternatives to what far too much youngsters waste their time with these days: video gaming, chilling, drugging, only to mention a few common habits young boys born into the middle of nowhere tend to satisfy themselves with.
Even though it may sound contradictory in this case: Exploring caves in addition to train a group of boys how to play soccer is probably a more useful approach to teach young people about life than the current Thai school system; you can’t cheat, and show off only by your own performance, you learn about responsibility for yourself and others as well as natural sciences, and sometimes the hard way …
Admitted --- it went wrong this time, and could have ended fatally. As so many activities you see tens of times around you on a daily basis living in Thailand … But fortunately it did not.
So – I simply request to think a little bit merciful about this young man. He will have learned an important lesson, together with the population of the entire kingdom, maybe even the government to close dangerous places during the rainy season …
I for myself feel deepest sympathy for the Wild Boar’s team leader and hope that at least the Thai population show the empathy for him even he deserves even though he made a mistake this time.-

It disappoints me that this is the first time (correct me if needed) that he has made any comment during this whole unfortunate and sad event.
I personally don't need ANY comment from him anymore because everything he says I rate as lied.

So it does not get closer than a kilometer to the border. I suppose smugglers could have used it for storage, but not for smuggling across the border.
Here you see the cave in GoogleEarth:

River rafting in Mae Wang gives a good impression of northern Thai jungle. Never failed for our European teen visitors.
Or ask in the villages close to "Flight of the Gibbon" for a guided jungle hiking tour. Most youngsters over there grew up in the forest and some of them speak understandable English.
Friendly Khun Prim, owner of the Than Thong Lodge (https://www.tharnthonglodge.com/) should be able to assist you finding a reliable local guide. You won't regret to have dinner at her wonderful (jungle) place in return ...-

No!!! This expression shows a misguided mindset.
It was the driver of the truck who lost control over his truck.
