Everything crossed that the rains don't happen until all are out.  Wonder what reaction there will be to the 'leader' of this group who thought it a good idea to go in un-prepared?  Apparently it takes 5 hours to get from them to the outside World  :-\

I was listening to the radio about it on sunday and the description of the 'narrow bit that goes up then down, but with a bit of a turn in it' made me feel  :sick02:  The idea of squeezing through narrow gaps full of moving muddy water is scary.

Hopefully they will get the final ones out tomorrow.  They are being very careful.

I agree.

Now - what will happen to the man who took them in?  1 man with 12 boys  :-\ ......... hopefully the Press will give the boys room to get back with their families and plenty of breathing space.

phew  :)

1 coach and 12 boys - the thai authorities have an interesting take on bureaucracy and a military govt that likes things tidy.  I hope he does not get all the blame.  He is very young. :-\

25 - but alone with 12 boys?  No back up for himself, totally having to make decisions without discussion ...........

Different culture CLKD. Also we are so used here to everything being 'risk assessed' we have forgotten what it was like before.

He made a genuine mistake, but I don't think he should suffer any consequences. He nearly lost his own life as well remember.

I am really relieved that they are safe.  Reminds me of the Chilean Miners several years ago .........
