Boys soccer team trapped in flooded cave.

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Doubt it. I would doubt they all have passports anyway.

Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly tomorrow and the remaining 5 and all the divers get out safely. I’m heartened to see the kind thoughts being expressed towards the young coach as well today.

Multiple reports from reporters on the ground have confirmed that the seventh and eighth children have now emerged alive, as the cave rescue continues to outpace expectations.
It is expected that these will be the final rescues today and that the operation will resume on Tuesday. Sunday's operation ended when they ran out of oxygen canisters.

Now just four boys and their coach remain trapped in the cave networks. It was originally feared that a rescue could take months due to rising water levels.

I know nothing about diving.
From what I can see 18 (?) Divers are working one shift and moving 4 kids.
Stop
Fuck off and eat sleep etc.
Start work 9 a.m. tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly.

Just because it's night time out side doesn't really make much difference to those stuck in the cave.

I believe it has something to do with oxygen levels inside the cave which need to be replenished to keep the boys mentally fit as well as the fact it’s an 11 hour journey in and out and they seem to be using the same divers. They need to rest and make sure they have clear heads.

I would rather they take their time and do it right than risk any minor mistake that could cost a life, of one of the boys or one of the rescuers.

I think it's the divers' tanks that need to be replenished, but otherwise agree.

That would have to happen as well but as has been reported the chamber they are in was at about 15% oxygen levels, this would decrease quickly with the rescuers going in as well. But in saying that as more come out this becomes less of a problem.

Get more divers.
How would oxygen in a cave replenish?
