At 1:30 PM, on December 25th, 2023, Mr. Chutidet Kamonchanut, the Director of the Office of Conservation Area Management No. 15, officially welcomed the first group of tourists for cave exploring at the deeper chambers at Tham Luang National Park, Mae Sai, Chiang Rai.
The group consisted of 8 people from American, Canadian, Australian, and Hong Kong nationalities. The entry fee for exploring inside the Tham Luang cave at the 2nd and 3rd chambers was 1,500 baht each. According to a report by Chutidet, the foreign tourists unanimously praised and were impressed by the edutainment adventure as they were able to get a first-hand experience of the global mission of rescuing 13 Wild Boars.
During the trip, the group would consist of less than 12 people and they have to register in advance and be checked for any adverse medical conditions before exploring the cave which opens for up to 50 people a day. The tourists were accompanied by five professional guides with safety equipment, said Chutidet. As of press time, it was reported by Chutidet that there were 35 people signed up for the cave exploring. The national park officials would put them into a queue and contact them back for further notification. Chutidet emphasized the safety of the tourists, exploring the deeper chambers could prove to be difficult. The tourists must dress and follow the professional guides’ instructions strictly.
