no, not in the slightest


just imagine that it was your child in the cave there, found by the sheerest luck and rescued in the nick of time through the expenditure of a huge amount of effort and goodwill - would you be forgiving the coach?


interesting also to see the use of cultural relativism - 'thais do it differently' - as a justification.

i don't know whether child endangerment is a crime in thailand, but it is also a place where feudal power structures persist, to the extent that no Thai may stand in the presence of the king, and of course a notorious centre of exploitation of women and children.

those conditions are more likely to account for the resignation and gratitude shown by the peasant families whose sons were trapped in the cave than 'buddhist forbearance'

You seem just lovely. If you want a good debate/argument, this forum will provide in spades, but really, why do you and two or three others get off on joining threads for no reason other than to call them boring, or "drivel" or whatever? Whom does it benefit? Does it make you happy? If so, seek help.

I am lovely thank you, and you're another person who delights in critical clap trap so don't bother in joining the bandwagon.

You just have to click on their name and look at their posts on the two forum games where they appear to spend most time to get a feel for what kind of person they are.

Ah yes, I see. A lovely person indeed, as lovely as a ten-year-old scrawling obscenities on a lavatory wall. Can't see a single comment that's not a stupid joke to attempt to belittle others or just to say that a thread is boring, or "sucks". Pathetically sad. Strongly suspect from their tone and attitude it's one of the previously banned come back in another guise.

i may have rushed to judgement KK, apols, and what i've since read about the coach's actions in the cave makes me reconsider my views a little bit - but no change in my total admiration for the rescue teams

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
