The 12 missing boys and their football coach have been found in Tham Luang by a British cave explorer – all alive and apparently safe.
A dramatic video stream from the Pattaya Beach area deep inside the cave indicated an English cave explorer was the first to reach the boys. The group, mostly seated and with baggy football shirts pulled over their knees, asked for food and to leave the cave immediately, according to the video, which was shared on the official Facebook page of the Royal Thai Navy Seals.
It showed all 13 members of the team moving, alert and with questions: “How long have we been here?” and “When will we get out?
“Many, many people are coming,” said the English rescuer. “We are the first. Don’t worry now.”

Family members who had camped out near the cave entrance since their boys disappeared laughed, cried and hugged when they received news Monday night that the Wild Boar members had been discovered alive….

His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun had said he was following events closely, helping to focus the attention of government officials.
.
“Gen Prayut wishes to thank the tremendous efforts of all international units that have come to assist the Thai authorities in rescuing the youth football team that was stuck in the caves in Chiang Rai,” said the spokesman.
