Ya know, the coach got a LOT of heat internationally for taking the team that deep into the cave. But from what we'd read & heard, the team planned to go anyway & he went to be with them to make sure an adult was there. I completely share your thoughts on this. I can't imagine what would've happened had those boys not had him there. He's lightyears ahead of the level of maturity that most people reach in their lifetimes. He deserves so much praise for ensuring they made it out okay. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!
@@ProbablyLost also they did not mean to go that deep into the cave they just have no choice but to back up and find a higher ground since water already flooded the passage.
I travelled from France up to Chiang Rai then Mae Sai ... The manager of the hotel took me to the Tham Luang Cave and waited for me 2 hours, it was a kind of pilgrimage for me... The story fascinated me and affected me beyond normal... Watched all movies and documentaries about it ...
I cried when a thai farmer said " I will plant again as long as the lives of the children will be saved. Thats when the water from the cave wer pump down to the paddies. So heartbreaking reaction.
Thank you Eric!!! It’s seriously just the most incredible story to us. I remember Trey having notifications turned on from various journalists live-tweeting from the cave during the rescue & it had us so captivated. Being in that cave felt so surreal, & was a bucket list destination for us here in Thailand. Thank you so much for watching!!!❤️
You're exactly right. It's such a sensitive, emotional topic & we tried as best we could to highlight the story in a respectful way. We're so thankful you enjoyed this video, & best wishes to you as well!❤️
Can not express enough how well you structured and executed this video guys! Such a remarkable story and you sure did it justice delivering it how you did - thank you ❤️
Thank y'all so much!!!! We really wanted to be as careful as we could without making it either too sad or too disrespectful. It's really a beautiful cave & national park, but you can feel that it kind of commands respect. Next time you guys visit Northern Thailand you have to check it out!!!❤️
This was amazing and yet made me cry. Those survivors inspire me to stay strong and choose to be calm in difficult situation that I may have to face wherever I am. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video!
Oh I completely agree!! I can't imagine how difficult it must've been to endure those conditions for all of the people involved in the rescue. Thank you so much for watching our video!!!:)
Doesn't look inviting, sounds great. 😂 It became a new history of our time. In this history every corner of the world came together as one human with kind and care to fellow human. I love and wish everything to stay like this way helping rather than creating war and get killed . Peace ✌️. Glory to all the hero's
I couldn't agree with you more!!! It was such a great example of the entire world coming together for the good of those boys, & showed the best of what we as people can be. The story is so uplifting & inspiring, which are two words that I think encapsulate the Thai people perfectly. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!!❤️
I'm Thai and never been to this cave before. It's really heart clinching to watch all the documentary. Part from Wikipedia about Saman. "...Formerly a member of Thai Navy SEALs class 30, Kunan had left the SEALs in 2006 at the rank of petty officer 1st class; he was working in security at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport when he volunteered to assist with the cave rescue. He was posthumously promoted to lieutenant commander by the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Navy, an unprecedented rise of seven ranks.[104][105] A funeral, sponsored and attended by the Thai royal family, was held on 14 July. On the same day, Kunan was awarded the Knight Grand Cross (first class) of the Most Exalted Order of the White Elephant by King Maha Vajiralongkorn..."
Chiang Rai is a beautiful province. Pha Hee, Phu Chee Fa and Phu Chee Dao are very nice. Thank you for reviewing here. It will be my next trip. 😍😍🍻🍻👍👍✔✔
I know right?? They've done such a fantastic job with the museum, mini-exhibit, & the lighting throughout the cave. But man, we REALLY felt this eerie feeling throughout. Like, you could FEEL that something crazy had happened there. I don't really know how to explain it. Either way, it's a fascinating place & I'm so happy people can go there to visit now. Thank you so much for watching our video Fiora!!!❤️
Stalactites are the ones on the ceiling, stalagmites are the ones that grow up from the floor. Easy way to remember the difference is you might trip over a stalagmite
I seriously have NO IDEA why I never heard that in school growing up!!! It sound like everyone else was taught that but me😅 Thank you so much for clarifying Brittany, & thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video!!😊
stalactites c for ceiling stalagmites g for ground 😉 anyways is this a diy trip or do you need to book a tour for this? and how long was the cave exploration. Thanks in advance!
This seriously means the world to us!! We tried our best to be respectful when telling the story while also highlighting just how beautiful the cave is. Your words are so appreciated Sukon ❤️ Thank you so much for watching our video!😊
@Probably Lost I deeply appreciate this episode. It always reminds me of the memories how we are the world. We, the Thais, could feel how you two pay great respect to whom it may concern. Thanks so much for what you two have done. One more words....this episode is superb. I just subscribed your channel and stay tuned. Stay safe,full of energy, happiness and most of all..good health with all my best wishes to you two. Buddha and God bless you two.
This is one of the very beautiful VDO I ever watched . I'm really want to go to that cave , so thank you to let me into the cave along with you . That's true , such emotional moment.
I see this has been mentioned already, but I learned, when as a kid our family visited Carlsbad Cavern, that stalactites are "tite" against the ceiling. Stalagmites "mite" one day be tall enough to reach the ceiling. I've never once got them mixed up.
Hi!!! Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope to make it to India at some point to experience it as well!! Thank you so much for watching our video!!!:)
I inform you that one child was in That Cave , now he went to England for study and practice to be soccer player . He pass away in England for few months ago.
Hi Wichai! We filmed this about a week before the player passed away. It was such sad news to hear. Hopefully the family is doing okay!! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch our video!
We saw that! He passed away about a week after we filmed this. It's such sad news, & hopefully the family is doing okay under what we imagine is such a difficult time. Thank you so much for leaving a comment & taking the time to watch our video Wichai!
Just wanted to ask if you were welcomed by the locals? Considering the fact that a tragedy did take place over there, so is it appropriate to visit it as a tourist site? I am asking this question because I am pretty much intrigued to visit the cave. P.S: Beautifully executed, the video encapsulates the respect you have for this whole place.
From what we understand locals and tourists were going to the cave before the accident since it was in the National park and a site for prayer. We spoke to several groups that had been there many times before the accident. It is a beautiful cave and there are more caves in the area to explore other than just the one. The people have done a great job for creating a memorial of the lives lost while also educating visitors about the importance of cave and diving safety. Definitely recommend going if you are in the area. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are so nice and also very informative. By the way, the stalagtite you showed is actually not called a stalagmite, it is the oposite, stalagmites point up and stalagtites point down. I did some speleology in my younger days. Love y'all.
Thank you so much Eddy! I feel like I must be the only one that never got taught the difference between the two when I was in school growing up. I had multiple people reach out to me afterwards to tell me the difference🤣 Thank you so much for supporting us!!!❤️
An easy way to distinguish between the two is: Stalag/has a rounded sound. (gh), so just imagine water bubbling up from the floor. It's going to have a rounded top. Now, a stalagTITE has a sharp sound. An icicle hangs down and is sharp at the bottom. So, if it's hanging from above...
Es ist SEHR tief. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie sie es dorthin zurückgeschafft haben, aber es ist unglaublich, dass sie es alle lebend geschafft haben. Wirklich eine erstaunliche Geschichte. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich unser Video angesehen haben!
@@ProbablyLost ya ich habe mir den Film und Doku angeschaut dein Video auch aus der Hölle und ich muss sagen ich wäre niemals weiter gegangen ya es ist eine Legende ich habe gelesen das eine diese jungs gestorben sei und der Trainer an seine kopf Verletzung in der Hölle
Unfortunately it was prohibited, but for good reason. Honestly we were a bit uneasy being as far back as we were. Those kids were so much braver than us!! Thanks so much for watching our video!!😊
I believe so! They're very adamant that people aren't allowed to venture beyond the gate (with good reason lol). Before the kids were trapped, it wasn't really the tourist attraction that it is now so I would imagine there wasn't much in place to keep people from going back. Hopefully that makes sense, & thank you so much for watching our video!!
I don't think it has. You just need to be experienced and I think you need to get the correct permits and stuff to enter the cave. I have read that all of the boys have been back to the cave since being trapped. And there are video on here that are taken from where the boys were.
We heard about it shortly after filming. It's such an incredibly sad ending, but his story of strength will certainly live on. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video Mary❤️
@@ProbablyLost yes and I explored nearby places there like this supermarket called tesco And spider mountain with is a mountain that keeps a dragon inside the top is A temple
We definitely want to!!! I believe we're going to the Philippines at the beginning of next year & we can't wait!!! Thank you so much for watching our video Thea!!!❤️
I'd heard about that! It's such a crazy story & honestly still feels like we're seeing some of the knock-on effects nowadays too. Just a remarkable story all around. Thank you for taking the time to watch our video!
Not true. Locals go in the cave often throughout the dry season and when they went in it wasn’t yet the monsoon season so it wasn’t expected to rain. Even the parents didn’t blame the coach
I kinda had the same thought while we were in there. We felt a little uncomfortable going back to Chamber 2 & when we were there it was well lit and everything!! Those were some brave kids to go that far back. I can definitely say we'd have been way to chicken to do it😅 Thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video!!
I think they never planned to go that deep into the cave, it's just that the rain must've already been at a dangerously high level by the time they wanted to go out, so they had no choice but to go DEEPER into the cave to find high ground, and after they did, they got stuck there.
They got caught out which is a simple fact. It was an annual tradition to go into the cave to welcome new members to the team. They were also celebrating one of the boys birthday. An expert on the cave was scheduled to make a solo journey into the cave a week after the boys got caught said that they were simply unlucky. No one was aware of what the weather had been doing on the other side of the mountain and it had caught them out which forced them further into the cave. They were caught in chamber three which wasn't that far in but were forced further in as the water rose.

This is so amazing! I watched it alot on TV too. I honestly doubted they'd be alive. It blew my mind they were all found alive! Great video!

If not rescued all the blame with the coach .he put all the kids in danger.probably a great lesson to all.
Not true. Locals go in the cave often throughout the dry season and when they went in it wasn’t yet the monsoon season so it wasn’t expected to rain. Even the parents didn’t blame the coach
