Popular Post Elkski Posted July 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I never list hope. Now where's the party??? I expect a righteous one in all cities across thailand. I will be in BKK in 47 hours. Which one of you naysayers is picking up the first round? PS all the negativity by posters on TV has now changed my opinion of this shack. I won't be looking here for any advice about my life. In fact I imagine my presence here will be a shadow of the time going forward.

Google Rick Stanton and John Volanthen to see some of the things they have done in the past. I doubt there are many people in the world with better credentials than these two fellas.

Badrabbit Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Just seen latest news and have to say I'm so happy that any negativity I might have posted has not become true, those divers not just the ones that found the lads need to be given the highest praise possible, everyone there has done an incredible job, now I'm praying all the lads and coach can be brought out safely to be reunited with there families!!

Estrada Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Perhaps they will now change the sign at the entrance to the cave complex that currently tells the public that it dangerous to enter the cave after the rainy season which starts in July.

NanLaew Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 8 hours ago, Father Fintan Stack said: My Thai gf says the coach took the kids in there to perpetuate a superstition that they could invoke the spirits for a win for their football team. Incredible in this day and age that a so-called adult would endanger the lives of 12 children in such a manner. I presume now in the euphoria he will not face even any condemnation for negligence. Incredible that they were found alive after all this time. Well done to the rescue teams and everyone else involved. What's incredible is you believe your gf's guff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to think before you post such nonsense again. And you are welcome to contribute those facts in existing threads relevant to those matters. Or you can make a completely new thread about that in another forum if this comment has got the wind sufficiently up yer kilt. I will restate Expatthailovers unequivocally correct comment. But make sure that nobody should needlessly denigrate the locals through their misunderstanding of what 'thainess' he was referring to... 40 minutes ago, Expatthailover said: Politeness, modesty, honesty and humility are keystones of 'thainess' the Thai people. YEMV of course but it's your loss if the fundamental precepts of forgiveness and humility and the overwhelming good intentions of the vast majority of the Thai populace doesn't feature on your radar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scientific studies have shown that PTSD is much more prevalent in affluent countries. While there may have been some fear of death experienced by these boys, they were together, and my guess is that they heard the rescuers coming well before they were found which may have kept their spirits up. I've done water only fastings for 7 days before, throw in the lack of sensory stimulation and the body can go into a sort of hibernation state that keeps one's health (mental/physical) from deteriorating as fast it would in other types of situations. Definitely, much different than the trauma that one experiences from being physically or emotionally abused, being in the middle of a war and seeing a friend die or having to kill someone else, or being a first responder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 News report says the lads are being given 4 months food supply and will be taught to dive, this operation must be costing a fortune, I wonder if blame will be laid firmly with the group's stupidity on entering a cave system totaly unprepared and going by the pictures only wearing football shirt, shorts and probably flip flops, hope they all get out safely eventually!Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
