They were forced further inside by rising water levels...
As mentioned, I have done some caving myself in the past and despite the best of intentions there is always a risk.
Good luck to the heroes!

Incredible selfless human beings. I have the utmost respect for people like those volunteer divers.
I mean who would go paddling around during a WC quarter final...(only kidding).
Those are the sort of people who deserve their accolades.
I wonder how many posters on here either have no kids or have completely forgotten what it was like to be a young boy. FFS, there is not a single bit of unexplored ground (dangerous or otherwise) within a mile of my hoose.

nearest i ever got to caving was going into rameses III (?????) tomb in luxor. A deeply interesting but highly unpleasant experience. I suppose being claustrophobic doesnt help.

It seems the caves are a major tourist attraction, both locals and from abroad:
The cave is one of Thailand’s longest and a major tourist attraction during the dry season. Visitors are usually only allowed up to 800 meters inside as the cavern has a reputation for being difficult to navigate.
I guess the caves are frequently visited. Not so wise on the cusp of the wet season.
It can certainly rain hard in Thailand, I got absolutely soaked in minutes in early May, although that was in the South.

Yes, things that could now get you a hefty prison term under anti-terrorist laws, such as making thunderflashes.

Good grief I never thought I would agree with any post you made BUT I'm with you all the way on this one.
There is now a delay while the team replace the oxygen tanks and time for the rescuers to rest.
I wonder if they will use the same rescuer team tomorrow.....
Fingers crossed there isnt enough rain to raise levels before they get the rest out.
