Wow he see 3 off them so there not so rare then what are the chances and what is the chance he lie but we all know thai people not do that

Hate to say it even though a person was injured, but I am glad to hear that wildlife is still something here. And the story this guy will get to tell his kids and his grandkids. Wow.

I also hope they were wearing their triple masks and had their 9th booster.

So lucky to have (what's left of) the NHS at my base camp....I wonder if anyone would like to join in and donate the remainder for his hospital bill as that's probably a lot of money to him.

I have no idea how to do this and wonder if The Thaiger would be able to assist with the admin side?

I will pledge 1500Bht.
