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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) "He said the department had set sight on further developing the cave into a tourist destination, adding that the cave has the potential to attract tourists." 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?

Cadbury Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Just now, maxcorrigan said: Double the price 10X you mean! 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.

Nigeone Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC1701A Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) 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.
