Twelve Thai boys trapped in a cave have exchanged emotional letters with their parents, for the first time since their ordeal began two weeks ago.

"Don't worry, we are all strong," one child said in a note. "Teacher, don't give us lots of homework!" he joked.

The football coach who took the boys into the cave apologised to parents, but they wrote he was not to blame.

It looks like the rescue effort has begun.
Hopefully all goes well.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS: THERE ARE TWO DIVERS PER CHILD INSTEAD OF THREE; SO FEWER MOVING PARTS AND BETTER EFFICIENCY....

Wearing full-face masks, which are easier for novice divers than traditional respirators, each boy will be accompanied by two divers who will also carry their air supply.

I should imagine the adult will be the last to leave if the decision is his to make.

Bring em home

It has just been reported that at least two of the boys have been successfully rescued

Great news!

Four brought out safe and well but operation temporarily halted and will recommence early Monday morning.

However, the rain that had Thai authorities so worried appears to have arrived.

The first voice 12 young Thai footballers and their coach heard after nine days trapped in caves was that of Briton John Volanthen. "How many of you?" he asked. "Thirteen? Brilliant."
It meant that, finally, they had been found.
Mr Volanthen and Richard Stanton MBE (FOR PREVIOUS CAVE RESCUES) were in the cave after being called in by Thai authorities along with another British caving expert, Robert Harper.

MR STANTON MBE IS PROVING 'WORTHY OF HIS SPURS' PERHAPS HE'LL BE ELEVATED TO A HIGHER RANK OF THE ORDER....
