5th Boy rescued at around 4:30 PM Thai time. That's only 6 hours after the rescuers went in. This is a sign that perhaps everyone will be out today.

With heavier rain expected Tuesday afternoon, I have a hunch the entire team will be coming out late tonight.

Note, "critical" might not be as severe as what we usually think of as "critical condition". The 3 boys who walked out were taken by ambulance to the hospital. The plan was for every boy to be taken to the hospital, same as astronauts after a flight are taken to the hospital for tests. The boy being taken by helicopter might just be erring on the side of caution for someone who needs medical attention.

Thai media reports 3 boys are out! Reuters has confirmed 2 boys are out!

Today is D-Day. They are attempting to bring out the first boy(s) today. This is a high risk operation but deemed necessary. Saman Guman, an ex Navy Seal rescue diver has already died. RIP to a true hero. Authorities have removed all non-essential personel from the cave entrance. I reckon part of the reason for this is to control the media narrative which is probably a good idea, especially if things go wrong. The announcement is light on details and I reckon the public doesn't really need to know at this time. My guess is they will try to bring one boy out first and see how it goes and then reevaluate the situation. The round trip is about 12 hours for world class cave divers without towing along a boy. Heavy rain is expected later in the week so this is viewed as the best window of opportunity for extraction. Waiting until dry season in December is not desirable due to a number of issues including oxygen supply. The whole world is watching. The best of luck to the boys and the rescuers.

Two heroic divers believed to be from the South and Mid Wales Cave Rescue Team have taken centre stage in efforts to rescue a group of boys trapped underground in a cave system in Thailand. Regarded as being among Britain's foremost cave divers, John Volanthen and Richard Stanton flew to Thailand over the weekend on a voluntary basis to assist with the search for the 12 boys and their coach who became trapped in the cave system in Northern Thailand ten days sago. The pair were the first to discover the group alive and well on a ledge. "Two British, volunteer cave divers found the boys at their current location, but the last 36 hours have seen a coordinated and planned approach to the rescue being led by the Thai Military and involving many other nations (including the USA, Chinese, Australians and others). "Equipment and air supplies have been ferried in to the system over the last day or so, enabling the divers to progress further in to the system than was previously possible. Diving lines have been laid to the boys’ location for other divers to follow with essential food, comforts and medical supplies. Although the group have now been reached by rescuers 2km into a complex network of caves, efforts to bring them to safety are still on going, with "significant challenges" ahead. "Although water levels have dropped, the diving conditions remain difficult and any attempt to dive the boys and their coach out will not be taken lightly because there are significant technical challenges and risks to consider," added the statement. Volanthen, who is an internet engineer from the Bristol area who runs marathons in his spare time, and his colleague Stanton, a firefighter from Coventry, are among the world's best cave divers and have led rescues in France and Norway in the past. In 2010, the pair received medals from the Royal Humane Society for their eight-day effort to save French diver Eric Establie. It is reported that they were requested by name by the French Government.

The teenage members of a Thai football team as well as their coach have been trapped in Tham Luang cave for over a week due to flooding of certain passageways. A massive rescue operation has been mounted. Authorities speculate that the lads are in a part of the cave called Pattaya Beach, a rather strange name for part of a cave. If they made it to "Pattaya Beach" the biggest issue is probably clean drinking water. Despite the flood passageways, that part of the cave is probably dry enough so it is not too cold or maybe not. Let's hope the lads make it out OK.

The answer is Thaksin Shinawatra!

That was at Candy Bar right? Candy Bar is a big loud bar with big booths that tends to treat customers like chumps.

Hint number 2: Just about every regular poster on LBR has heard of this guy!

More and more bars have CCTV and the scope of coverage varies from bar to bar. It inhibits nookie within the bar but the girls seem to know the best spots for a discrete blowjob out of camera range. Are there any bars without CCTV or is this now a requirement? Does this bother you or is it no big deal as you prefer sucking cock in your loom?

Madame Butterfly (more ladyboys than Mr Butterfly across the street) has a happy hour before 9PM with 50 cent (16 baht) drafts. After 9PM it goes up to a buck (32 baht). These prices contrast well with bars that don't have draft and the cheapest option are 2 buck cans. Hey, if you are having a good time it doesn't matter too much if it is 16 baht or 64 baht but if I open the door but don't like what I see and am having a beer to just be polite, then I like the cheaper option. Outdoors at Mr Butterfly is a good vantage point to survey the ladyboy/bargirl action since it at the epicenter of action at the intersection of of Street 136 and Street 5. Ostro Bar is also at the corner and has 75 cent drafts before 7PM. The advantage of Ostro is that they don't have bargirls and bargirls can't harass you. Giant TV screen for sports. Sydney John turned me on to that joint. But at 7PM the price goes up to 1.75 USD. Down the street at Street 130 and Street 5 the New Mekong Bar has 75 cent draft 24/7; another bar SJ turned me onto. It's not just the price that's appealing but you can sit there un-harassed sipping your brewski. That intersection is only a minute away, and good for a chinwag with a mate, but doesn't offer the drama of Street 136. It has a couple of smallish TV screens. On Street 104, the only bar with dollar drafts is Matilda Bar. There are expat joints elsewhere with 50 cent drafts all day. all night but the above are some cheap options in the girly bar areas. No matter how cheap the draft is, those things called ladydrinks will set you back $3.50 in most joints.

Beyond the camaraderie, back home the main purpose of a wingman is to help you get a girl. In Thailand, it seems the main purpose of a wingman is to keep unwanted girls away. If an unwelcome girl invades my airspace, I just say, "I talk with friend" but if alone it is more difficult to politely get rid of a girl that approaches me uninvited.

Thanks for the update Wishfull! Are the ladyboys freelancing out of the beach bars such as Dolphin on Occheteal Beach very late at night? Are there any bars left up on Victory Hill?
