- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- For the first time since the 2018 Tham Luang Thailand cave rescue I take a tour lead by a Thai Navy Seal hero who helped to get the children out!
Prepare to be captivated by the gripping story behind this Thai Navy SEAL lead tour that takes you deep into the heart of the Thai rescue cave. In this tour I don't just show you the same old footage, I go deep into the Tham Luang rescue cave and tackle some of the obstacles the rescue heroes had to overcome. This video will give you a unique perspective on the rescue that can only be obtained by following in their footsteps!
This compelling video offers a unique perspective on the heroic efforts that unfolded during this daring rescue mission.
Here is the location of the Tham Luang National Park HQ (and cave entrance) where you can book this tour outside of the Rainy Season. It must be booked in advance via the National Park. maps.app.goo.g...

Hard to imagine doing all that with oxygen bottles on, cave full of water and zero visibility what an amazing operation to get all the children out safely. Brilliant video Karl thanks for doing this.
My pleasure. It really gave me a feel for what was actually involved. Thank you
“This isn’t for everybody” 😂😂 truly amazing and interesting experience. I just can not understand why your channel has not exploded with subs. Easily one of the best RUclips channels in Asia.
Thanks so much. I have a lot of people say that. You could always send RUclips a message and ask them what I’m doing wrong? I’d love to know. Cheers and glad you enjoyed the video
Because his not in pattaya filming whores
I watched the movie, Oh man that was so amazing!
Believe me, actually crawling deep into that cave and listening to stories from those involved made me respect all involved in the rescue even more.
The best RUclips vlog! I just cannot imagine how could the first person laid out the rope line thought all sections of the rescue to the end and how could the Thai Navy Seal heroes carry all the equipment inside or outside the cave during the operation? Seeing the actual location they could have been more death. Salute to all rescuer terms ,R.I.P Governor Narongsak and specially the Thai Navy Seal. Hooyah Hooyah Hooyah.
Yes, some incredible people came together to pull of that rescue. Going that deep is not the cave was an insight for me. Thanks
Brilliant....It absolutely brought home the reality of what the boys endured and the rescuers. Nice one Karl.
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, it made it all very real for me. Cheers
1500THB seems like a great value!
It certainly is Doug, you get a certificate and presentation pack included in the price as well as a week’s health insurance within Chiang Rai Province. And thanks for supporting my channel
Watching you struggle going through the cave looks hard enough. I can’t imagine how they done it with oxygen tanks underwater and carrying the children, amazing rescue and a great RUclips video once again Karl’s Thailand Thank you
My pleasure John. You can’t beat going there for getting an idea of what a great achievement that rescue was buddy! Cheers
For me this is more than n better than Hollywood move...
Although i stopped watching moves back in 2001...
Thanks for making this great movie and sharing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure. I try to do stuff the other vloggers can’t or won’t do. Cheers
Thai people along with help of British divers and people from many other countries.
After seeing this i am sure Thai people are not ordinary....they respect and care about life so much and they make others also like them ...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Incredible people....hats off....
Yes, there were 10,000 people involved in one way or another from all over the world. The Thais are rightly very proud and also grateful. Cheers
Thanks for another great video Karl le grand
You are very welcome AB. Thank you
Fantastic video. I just shared it on FB, this deserves a million views, hopefully more people will share this.
Cheers Dan. Unfortuneately the algorithm doesn't see it that way. Hope you are well.
Should get the divetalk guys to see this vid. Great vid Karl
Cheers. Please feel free to to share it.
Awesome video Karl! Those kids sure are lucky to have made it out alive…..thanks to the amazing rescue team! 😊
Thanks Marietta. I have so much respect for all involved in that rescue now.
Excellent mate. 'you always have to go further than anyone else'.
Heres to the next one.
Yes Ant, I do don’t I😂. Wouldn’t have been possible without you and thanks again for risking all to help out with the camera work.
Agreed mate! Karl's next level stuff
So informative Karl, a truly amazing vlog, that was an incredible watch, thanks to all 💕
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much, it’s great to get positive feedback from my subscribers
I finally had the chance to watch this as my wife also wanted to watch. It was good how I was able to get a sense of perspective of the conditions that the diver's would have experienced with the cave filled with water. 1500 Bath is a very reasonable price to be escorted all that way.
Yes, the experience made it all very real. The 1500 Baht also includes a week’s health and accident insurance in Chiang Rai Province and a certificate and book in a presentation pack. It is very reasonable and the criticism is IMO unwarranted. Cheers
What an adventure Karl, made better by the fact that the boys made it out safely eventually. Although very sad about Saman. A real hero. It’s nice to see they made a proper memorial for him. And a shame about young Dom…Ant’s tumble brought a bit of light relief! Great work Karl
Cheers Mark. I’d wanted to vlog that tour since December and couldn’t believe no other Western vloggers beat me to it! Our Navy SEAL guide was very respectful towards the memory of Sam, as we all should be. Thanks buddy
We followed the whole rescue operation back then. It could've been easier with your hands free, so a big shoutout for showing us the ropes and what it's really like deep down there.
This one if for the serious enthousiasts only I'd say.
Cheers. Yes, the tour isn’t for everyone but it does help you to appreciate what was involved in the rescue if you’re mobile enough. Cheers
Hey Karl, I hope all is well. That was your best so far. Being a former US Navy submarine guy, and with a little advanced tunnel touring in Vietnam, I wondered if I could handle the trip to "Pattaya Beach" in that cave. Thanks to your incredable footage and you and Anthony constantly laughing in the face of the confined spaces, I feel as if I could make it and actually work down there. The "keyhole" looks doable when it's dry. Harder to pass through dry, but easier psychologically I suppose than when it's submerged. I'll definately get to the public spaces in that cave when I go up to Chiang Mai and Chaing Rai. My school finishes next week for a while... Exceptionally well done Karl (and Anthony), Thanks for taking the time and effort to bring this journey to YT.
Glad you enjoyed it Mal. I think you could make it if you really wanted to. I tell you what, getting deep and dirty in that place gave me increased respect for all that were involved in that rescue….and there were a lot of them! Cheers buddy
Really good video Karl! So interesting to see the inside of the cave and hear the stories of the rescueworkers👍 They're heroes❤
It was a fascinating experience. Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed it
Big thumbs up from me Karl 👍 Thanks for taking us along on this experience 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it. My pleasure!
Brilliantly done,well documented, better than the actual documentary as we actually get to see how it looks lit up and dry,i only got to the measuring pole just past the public area last year,but now hoping that they do open the rest of the cave up,definitely one for the future,youll be running out of areas to explore soon in los ! Welll done again terrific stuff.
Running out of ideas my arse! Running out of cash far more like. Cheers
Amazing story and amazing that they got them out alive. You've excelled yourself there Karl 👏
Thanks so much. I see the RUclips algorithm is rewarding me on this 6th anniversary of the start of the rescue not. Cheers
What amazing people rescuing the boys in those difficult conditions. Great and interesting video :-)
Many thanks. Yes, what they did was incredible!
Karl----Absolutely incredible ! Best vid yet in your collection. Incredible insight in how difficult that rescue was. Sad one person lost his life but those kids, I am sure, pay homage to that Seal everyday. After rainy season I may drive over there with the Misses. Thanks again for your channel
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, well worth a visit, my pleasure. Cheers
Wow, that really gives an insight into how crazy difficult that operation must have been. Great stuff Karl!
Yes, that was my big takeaway from the experience…..thank you.
Your Lauda air crash video was fantastic..This beat it
Thanks so much Steve. I’d wanted to vlog it since December. I couldn’t believe no other Western vloggers beat me to it. Cheers
Karl, what an epic account of what was probably the most difficult rescue that captivated the world. Your trip added another dimension especially as you were able to connect so well with guys that were directly involved. I have visited the cave system before but I would no way go into that cave as I felt claustrophobic just watching this video 555. Great stuff as normal mate, keep them coming.
Cheers Dusty. I’m trying to keep them up but RUclips doesn’t seem to appreciate my efforts.
Superb content Karl
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Having seriously injured 2 knee ligaments last July I’ve been saying to my wife that we’ll try most of your treks when we retire to Thailand later this year. However, I managed to fall again yesterday and damage more knee ligaments and got a small fracture too 😢😢😢
The reality may be that at 57 I may never be able to follow in your footsteps to these wonderful beautiful locations 😢
I'm well aware that most of my viewers won't actually attempt my hikes. Some of them aren't that hard, hope you mend fast and get the opportunity to try some of them. Cheers
All your episodes are amazing Karl. But this one is specially amazing. Well done mate.
Cheers Terry. I felt that it would be a good video at the time. Glad you enjoyed it
Superb video Karl, really enjoyed it. Surely, this is the one to go viral mate!
Cheers Jimmy. That’s a nice thought but log out of your accounts on a browser (to eliminate and previous viewing bias) and search for ‘Thai Cave Rescue’ or ‘Thailand Cave Rescue’ it doesn’t even show despite these terms being in the tags and description. Kind of hard to see it going viral if it can’t be found
This is the best video I have seen on this including all the professionally produced ones by far the best thanks karl. It really brings home how hard and scary they must of been
Thanks Mark. it was a shock to me how harsh the terrain was in there. Cheers
Amazing video ! Unbelievable they got those kids out of there alive. Thanks, Karl
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it was a truly incredible achievement. Cheers
Great video karl. Absolutely incredible what they achieved in getting those boys out in those conditions 🤯
Absolutely incredible really .
Couldn't agree more Lee. Cheers
All caved out. Lol. I know that feeling. Great adventure, Karl. It's definitely on my to-do-list.
Well worth it Brian, yeah I was definitely feeling 'all caved out' by the end of it. The thing that made me happy waqs having two hands and not having to film it on the way out lol
Absolutely amazing Karl, thanks for giving us this excellent portrayal into a remarkable rescue. I must visit this cave when I next come to Thailand, hopefully soon!🇹🇭
Glad you enjoyed it Adam, it's well worth a visit and some incredible places nearby too. Cheers
Absolutely amazing what them guys did to rescue them kids love every minute of the vlog hats of to all who was involved ❤❤❤
Indeed, hats off to all those involved in this incredible rescue. Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Cheers
You guys are fearless, I would have a massive panic attack just looking at that keyhole section, crazy stuff.
Just imagine what those rescuers had to face...that's what I got from the experience, an intense respect for all those involved. Cheers
Unbelievable!
Really incredible and very interesting! Those guys were real heros!
The experience left me with so much respect for them Chris. Cheers
I watched this video on 23rd June, 2024…exactly 6 years anniversary of the incident.🙏👍💪🏽❤️
Yes. I wanted to put the video out on the anniversary. Cheers
@@karlsthailand 🙏👍
As always, Karl. Top video and great translation to tell the story. ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, speaking Thai helps you get so much more out of Thailand. Thanks
Hey Karl 👍
Another great experience.
Thanks mate, always waiting for you next adventure.
Hope to catch up again In the future future. Happy Days mate. 👍
Absolutely.Cheers buddy
Good stuff Karl, interesting look back on what the rescuers had to face, navy seals very highly trained, not for everyone. cheers
My pleasure, thanks again
Amazing video.
Well done.
Better than Netflix
Wow, thanks! the RUclips algorithm doesn’t seem to share your opinion unfortunately. Cheers
Gday Karl...
What a fantastic video mate ...Really put into perspective the magnificent effort and incredible difficulties they endured ....You must be commended on this video ...Thanks again Karl
Many thanks Terry, it was tougher than I expected and what we did was nothing compared to what the rescuers did. Cheers
Jeez that was a tense watch, cheers Karl
It caught me by surprise how tough the final sections were. Filming it and only having one hand free didn't make it any easier lol. Cheers
That's so great video, epic. Thank you all for let me have this experience via your hard work.
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure. It’s a story that needs to be heard in full. Cheers
Got to save this for my Sunday morning…looking forward to this one.
Enjoy Andrew!
Great video Karl. Very interesting and crazy what it took to get the boys out of that place. Nice and challenging down there.
Cheers.
Yes Andrew, it really brought it home to me what was involved
Thanks to Kalle for showing this. Very interesting o exciting o see👍
Glad you enjoyed it Anders. Cheers
Congratulations mate Brilliant brilliant brilliant Absolutely amazing 👏
Thanks very much Nigel, catch you tomorrow
Brilliant video, thank you! Your Thai interpreting skills are amazing and really add to the video.
Thank you very much! It wasn’t planned that way, it just happened that I ended up doing most of the translation. At times it was pretty tough trying to concentrate on what was being said and trying to make a video at the same time. Cheers
@@karlsthailand Impressive on many levels, really appreciated.
Its a great cave, I was lucky explored before the rescue no need to pay.
Yes, it’s easy to forget that the kids just entered and found their own way. Quite a thought with hindsight. How deep did you get?
@karlsthailand About a kilometer. My wife was quite wary she new of the water danger. I put photos on Google maps. There is another special cave near tham pla. And a temple one in Mae Sai that's quite special.
Been to the caves but im not brave enough to go deep into the caves, respect🎉
It’s not for everyone Ian. Cheers
Awesome stuff Karl .! An amazing informative video. So insightful with the additional footage from the rescuers who took you down. It's going to be a hard video to follow.Keep up the great work :)
Thanks! It was a video I had wanted to make for many months
Hi mate what a fantastic video you can imagine what it was like with water and only head touch, all the rescue team showed what can be done . Top marks to you mate for bringing us this video 1500 go’s to upkeep wages everything 👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it Chris. A subscriber said hi to me in Nong Khai a few days ago. Thought it might be you as you’re up that way aren’t you? Anyway I asked and it wasn’t you. It’s an intense experience but one I’m glad I undertook. Cheers
@@karlsthailand Hi yes up that way Rattanawapi on the 212 👍
Fantastic vid karl enjoyed ever Minute
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for
นี่มันเจ๋งมาก‼️เป็นครั้งแรกที่ได้เห็นสภาพแวดล้อมภายในหลังประตูเหล็กนั่น มันน่าเหลือเชื่อมากๆ ที่ฮีโร่เหล่านั้นสามารถปฏิบัติภาระกิจสำเร็จ
ขอบคุณที่ทำคลิปดีๆแบบนี้นะคะ และอยากให้ระวังเรื่องความปลอดภัยด้วย เห็นแล้วหวาดเสียวแทนค่ะ😅คุณเก่งมาก กดติดตามแล้วนะคะ😊
ผมไม่เคยรู้ว่ามันอันตรายขนาดนี้ จนกระทั่งผมได้เข้าไปในถ้ำลึก ขอบคุณครับ
It was around 800 meters from the entrance to Chamber 3 where you guys were, and another 1504 meters from there to Chamber 9 where the children were.
Yes. Those children went in really deep, incredible really. I hope that they do eventually open it up all the way to chamber 9 eventually. I think the journey would really bring it home to people just what can incredible achievement the rescue was. Thanks
รายละเอียดดีมากครับ Thank you for sharing
ยินดี ขอบคุณครับ
That was a great vid. very intense.
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, it was an intense experience. Cheers
Brilliant insight! 👍😎
Thank you
Great vlog!
Thank you Chris
Incredible! I'll never forget the feeling I had when they found those kids. And that was a brutal hike. I'm sure it didn't get any easier on the way back.
Yes, it was an event that’s hard for us to forget. Actually it was a bit easier for us on the way out because we put the camera equipment into my rucksack and had the benefit of 2 hands. Cheers
Epic content. Its on my list to do this tour. I recommend the book by Rick Stantoon Aquanaut. He was the one who reached the boys. Cheers.
Thanks. Tbh I had wanted to do this tour for months since I read about it at the end of last year. I was surprised none of the other Western vloggers had covered it. I’m aware of Rick Stanton and might well search for a digital version of that book. Cheers
Just WOW
Cheers Keith
I was there either late December or or January this year Karl. We didn't realise that it was the first day they were opening the cave up to chamber 3. We were approached and offered the opportunity to go in but already had a long day planned and a hotel booked in a different province. We really thought about doing it but I think my partner would have struggled to make it through there so decided against it. All the media and TV crew's were there as well and was televised on Thai news. Not sure if you remember seeing this?. It really does make you feel what the boy's must have felt being stuck in there and the heroic effort from all the rescue team❤
Anyone in less than average shape would probably struggle on the final sections so I don’t blame you for your decision not to do it. Yes, I saw the first press coverage and decided I would do it the first chance I got. Tbh I couldn’t believe no other vlogger had covered it yet. Cheers
Scary stuff mate, thanks for showing us 👍
No worries. Gives you a small idea of what they all achieved in that rescue
@karlsthailand Yes I watched the the movie and the documentary after seeing your video, truly incredible and moving. 🙏
Imagine that being full of water! Great video Karl I’m glad I can watch it rather than trying to do it 😂😂😂
You’d have loved it Mark 😉 Maybe next time eh? 😂
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thankyou very much Karl !
An Unbelievable interesting and enjoyable video . Your Thai translating is very impressive. 5*****mate
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the compliment about my Thai. Cheers
@@karlsthailand may I ask where did you learn Thai? School? Self taught?
I live in Thailand myself but couldn't translate how you do. Well done Karl. I'll keep batting away at it
I bought a Thai course in the UK many years ago (Linguaphone, with cassettes and books). I really got on with it but most people prefer to learn in a classroom environment.
@@karlsthailand Thanks 😎🙏
A couple of general notes...I'm always impressed that you're out there exploring & enjoying all the amazing outdoor adventures in Thailand.If I am able to retrace even a small number of your trips I'll be so pleased! Secondly, every time my Thai wife hears you speaking Thai I get a dirty look or a pinch reminding me that MY Thai is not so good ! " Thanks for hours of great videos and adventures. Be safe, be happy !
Sorry about the grief you get because of my Thai lol. Yeah, it’s all about getting out there and having fun. Cheers
Well that is going to behard to top. It realy shows how hard the rescue must have been. I was thinking, that the decisions to push against tbe current must have been hard. The conditions would near impossible with water and air tanks..
Its a gesat video, well done all...
Thanks Brock, sometimes I wonder what you have to do before your video get's pushed out by the algorithm? Are they even interested in 'real' content?
Truth and reality dont sell I guess..Thats why everyone is being bombarded with rubbish these days.
Just keep up the great work Mate..
Definitely a chthonic adventure! :)
It was quite an experience I’ll tell you. Cheers
To claustrophobic for this . Your brave
It’s not for everyone lol. Cheers
❤
sooo, we have not yet the spot where the kids were found. your map could show us another perspective. where your tour ended and then the spot farther where they were located. how close did you get?
Yes, I suppose I could have made that all clearer. We were m allowed to go in as far as chamber 3 but went a little further, about 800m. The place where the children were found (chamber 9) was another 1500m further inside. Incredible really that they could make it that far but one thing I have learned is that a small frame and body weight is a hell of an advantage over that type of terrain
thanks, karl for the clarification. as is, the video is a wonderful momento for what those kids endured. they're slight frames enabled them well.
Sound of mind and body? If you were sound of mind you wouldn't be doing that.... :)
Glad you didn’t miss my little bit of ironic humour there. Cheers
Super cool Karl! I’m a diver and this is crazy - mind and body strength required. Elon is a total twat 😂
Cheers. Elon’s intentions were obviously good but he didn’t come out of it very well in the end. As a diver I can tell you have insight into just what was involved. Cheers
@@karlsthailand I’m of the opinion he was only in it for media attention, then spoke bad of the real hero’s because he was dismissed
@@vintageexcellence He shouldn’t have said what he said which I won’t repeat here but the British guy could have been more diplomatic in his dismissal of Elon’s obviously impractical proposal.
@@karlsthailand difficult high stress situation, when you are an expert and other people start say dumb stuff it’s hard to maintain composure at times. All 3 movies were pretty good, I enjoyed the Thai version as it told us more about the story. Your vid tied some things together when inside the cave.
