UK cave heroes returning to Thailand during Christmas holidays

By The Nation

 

Tourism and Sports Minister Weerasak Kowsurat said on Saturday that the British cave diving experts who played a key role in the Tham Luang rescue operation will be returning to Thailand during the long Christmas holidays.

 

Weerasak said he had learned of the planned revisit by the British divers while he was coordinating with foreign teams who took part in the operation to invite them for a thank-you party granted by His Majesty the King on August 1.

 

He said the British divers would also return to Thailand during the long thanksgiving holidays next year.

One would think that by now, those heros would have just about enough of Thailand, guess not, who doesn't love a part right?...

They've got one fully paid up trip, and elite visas, why not?

I believe the party is 1st August, or was as I think it has been cancelled.

Anyway, no doubt an all expenses Xmas jolly, don't blame them.

Wonder who is paying the bill?

The media peddles garbage.  There is so much serious stuff happening round the world at the minute but what do we get??  Endless stories about irresponsible cave  kids & divers and of course women who have had sex with Trump.

The media has become a farce.

Yes, I agree.

News is gone, infotainment is what people want, the news peddlers say.

The "serious stuff" is also being reported 

I have to wonder what sort of hero's welcome these will get?    Are they single?

I pity the expats in Thailand that only get Trump channel or Fox News. Hopefully

the French channel and BBC news gives you a better coverage of the World and the

USA news. I even preferred  the RT channel and the other English news coverage and

made Fox my last choice of English news source. Hope the cave heroes has a fun

filled Christmas visit.

Geezer

It would be nice to think that they would manage to have a holiday with their families and not end up spending a coulpe of weeks being followed around by 'make sure I'm in this shot' types.

Hope they haven't planned an overland to Cambodia via Poipet.
