The early bird catches the worm.

 

BTW, the Thai currency is the baht ฿

 

The 12 boys can get well paid jobs as cave guides then.

With dual pricing. For foreigners this means paying double the price to risk one's life by entering the cave. Whereas Thais can risk their lives for just half that price.

Double the price 10X you mean!

Drink a case of beer, a few bottles of Lao Cau, and then you and your buddies stumble your way through a cave. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Kids aren't even home yet and they're already crunching numbers.

Whatever, I never enter because of their racist policy so I am never really sure.

If it is 10X then that makes it even more of a bargain for Thais to risk their lives by entering.

In any case I guess they will be promoting the cave and capitalizing on all the publicity it has received over the last week or so. Mercenary, money grasping lot they are.

Predictable but also deplorable that they  should be considering this while the team and coach are still at great risk . TIT ! Most won't be surprised

WOW, are they going to send it to a rehabilitation camp?

Naughty Naughty cave, don't do this again...................

 

Jokes aside, amazing, poor boys are still in mortal danger and all some folks can see is the potential tourist $$$$ due to the worldwide publicity.

Heroic foreigners double ticket price.

I am looking  forwards to all  Brits  being  exempt from  fees?? or business  as  usual and 4x the  price?

Am wating for them to bill the families.

Hey wouldn't you get even more money by starting to bus in the Chinese while the kids are in, maybe even keepnthem there forever as attractions.

 

Anything goes to the altar of the holy god of tourism.

So next year there will be a bus load  (or more)  of  Chinese  tourists stuck in the cave !!

National park or shooting range for fat blokes.

That is absolutely sick! Don't think now about the business...use all the power you have to take out the guys there. About the money later!

In this case, it's the worms determining how to catch the bird. 

a film for sure is to come out of this.

 

First "The Beach" and now "The Cave".  Leonardo DiCaprio can star in the new film as Rick Stanton or John Volanthen.

 

Harold Nesland ex wife curvaceous Nong Nat can play the wife of a Thai Navy seal.
