In June 2018, a group of 12 boys from a local football team, became stranded with their assistant coach, in Tham Luang Nang Non - a cave in Thailand's Chiang Rai Province. Heavy rains partially flooded the cave during their visit on 23 June 2018. They were reported missing after a few hours, and search operations were immediately commenced. The finding of team member belongings near the cave entrance confirmed that the group was likely to be in the cave. Efforts to locate them were hampered by rising water levels, which blocked access to inner chambers, and no contact could be made with them for over a week. The rescue effort expanded into a massive government-led operation, amid intense media coverage and public interest.
After struggles through narrow passages and muddy waters, British divers discovered the 13 missing people, all alive, on an elevated rock about 4 kilometres from the cave mouth, on 2 July 2018. To leave the cave, they may need to either learn to dive or wait months for the flooding to recede at the end of the monsoon season.
