  • Posts trying to use this as a political platform have been removed.  Any more and the people posting them may be as well.?   Plenty of existing threads for those who want to talk about Thai,

  • There is just one shift of divers that will extract the boys, carefully chosen for their expertise and also to ensure each boy has a Thai diver as well as foreign diver (comminucation, reassurrance).

  • They went in for a bit of fun in June..You just woke up....?

channelnewsasia reports the 5th person went straight to ambulance. Not good if accurate.

 

5:38pm: First person in today's operation is carried out from the cave to an ambulance, Reuters says, citing a witness.

people have to remember not to put western values/thinking onto thais as they think totally different. Many thais his age still think like teenagers, thais also dont look at risks the same as many of us, they simply dont see the danger. In this case they were doing what they had done several times before, none of them for saw the danger probably due to the way they think, in the long run though they were lucky the coach was there as he held it together for them, if it had just been the kids there may not have been any to rescue 

...thinking back when I was a kid in Canada we rode our bikes or on our horses and went to incredible places out of the way to go fishing or hunting grouse... our parents thought nothing of it except telling us to be careful.. now kids in Canada and Australia have parents riding in a car following them when they go for a bike ride.. Kids up there no doubt have been going into the caves up there for years with no problems.. this was an accident.. a flash flood.. please don't be too quick to blame.. different culture & a different way of life.. that is why many of us like being here.. accidents happen.. unfortunately.. lets just hope they all get out ok.. and appreciate the enormous effort the people from many countries are putting into their safe return..

"But then I would not expect the coach to take them crawling kilometers into a mountain cave complex for no other good reason that some superstitious nonsense and during rainy season too."

 

What evidence do you have to say this? Your not being fair or balanced.

this idiot is just making up whatever he wants, he was booted from the rescue due to a lot of dud info he was giving out, think listening to the parents and other boys that didnt go with them is the real story

CHIANG RAI — The fifth boy was rescued from a flooded cave Monday on day two of a dangerous rescue that has surprised many with its success.

The initial report said the boy has been brought out at about 4:45pm and is being treated in the field tent.

This is a developing story

Right, I agree this Ben Reymenants character has already been discredited.

Changes its logo again to :

Clearly a cultural thing to play it extremely positive.

Not afraid for jinx or backfire.

5:38pm: [BREAKING] First person out in today's operation? Rescue workers were seen carrying a person on a stretcher away from the cave complex to an ambulance, Reuters says, citing a witness.

 

The above is from ChannelNewsAsia. Their times are an hour ahead of Thailand, I think.

Not simple, just normal, you after brownie points,     look at the time it took to get the 4 out,   then count the days after they were found,  and the days before the boys got out-----shocking work and only 2% of people could do.  BUT with storage areas  on route  have  places to store oxygen,  but I am so simple to post on here, am I.  Blame news from Pattaya Post---and Udon Thani update  for info and other news outlets wanting to get on the band wagon.   Wouldn't it be nice for us all to have info from  1 official network.  See how many posters have been misled by fake news.....

Your absence of common sense cannot be explained away as fake news.

 

Erroneous reporting has occurred in some cases, but it seems you dont even understand the concept of fake news.

 

It is your lack of ability to read critically, or even correctly name your sources here, as, to my knowledge, the Pattaya Post and Udon Thani update  simply dont exist.

 

The pattaya mail however clearly says the pause was to replenish oxygen supplies along the route. 

 

If you can provide me links to these supposed sources of fake news ill happily apologize, but until then im sticking with simple.

The same happened yesterday - on stretchers and straight to hospital.

if you are so so clever, google UdonThani update, Pattays news also---use soap as a mouthwash-----enough said to you---lazy man   do your own searching---BYE,  anymore clever bad mouthing and admin will be notified.   No need for your tone.    Maybe your news on the rescue is far more good than other outlets

chopper taking off now, must have someone in there apart from the pilot.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt before my last post.

 

So its pattaya news now, i thougnt it was Pattaya Post. I must have misread you.... Nope, it says pattaya post. Methinks you struggle with detail.

 

Yeah my mind isnt changed.

 

Y'all have a good day.

I have a feeling that after yesterdays success and now knowing what's involved they will have changed the approach today and will be passing boys on to the next group rather than what I'd imagine they would have done yesterday and kept with the boy . We will find out I'm sure but that would make sense in my eyes .. respect to the divers !! And some to Thai powers that be for realising they had no chance unless there brought in Experts

You’ve made your point many times, move on. 

If it's haunted with many spirits etc., then many of the local parents would absolutely see this cave complex as highly dangerous and to be totally avoided and they would have told their kids that.

 

Further, most if not all of these kids have been brought with severe superstitions and most of them would believe in ghosts and be frightened of ghosts.

 

Now I guess you'll claim that the coach (who comes from the same levels of superstition, fear of ghosts etc.) forced them to go into the cave.

 

Bye.

Wish everyone would lay of the coach . He's done nothing wrong as clearly it wasn't a no go as far as the signs go. Also those blaming him clearly don't know Thailand or Thai youngsters very well ! They are not taught to think for themselves and neither have the adults . The coach did nothing wrong . In the west sure in a now over monitored lifestyle our kids live in and the different mindset our kids have and for sure a more advanced education I'm sure western kids and adults probably wouldn't have entered . But Thailand isn't the west , these kids play with snakes and are comfortable with all sorts that western kids would freak out over . Nooo just resoect the coach for keeping it all together and giving up his time to teach these kids
