snoop1130 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Wild Boars hope to lead Thailand to World Cup finals one day By The Nation Members of the "Wild Boars" football club and their coach (R) participate in a "meet the press" event at a mall in Bangkok on September 6, 2018. The 12 Wild Boars footballers and their 25-year-old assistant coach, whose June 23-July 11 dramatic search and rescue from a flooded cave in Chiang Rai made global headlines, revealed their dream of leading Thailand’s national football team to the World Cup finals. The boys, aged between 11 and 16, also expressed their gratitude to His Majesty the King and everybody else who contributed to their rescue. They were speaking at a Culture Ministry-hosted press conference in Bangkok’s Siam Paragon mall on Thursday. The boys admitted that though they were recognised more frequently – their junior striker Doungphetch Phromthep already has 300,000 Instagram followers – their lives remained pretty much the same. They said they were now working on gaining physical strength by running, going on bicycle rides and playing football. They also recounted their nine days as novices in a local temple, saying meditation and Dharma lessons have helped them stay calm, confident and in touch with reality. The boys and thousands of people involved in the search-and-rescue operation were in town to attend the “United as One” celebration hosted by the government on Thursday evening. The event, held in the Royal Plaza, was attended by close to 10,000 people, including some 6,000 invitees such as the Australian rescue team led by anaesthetist Dr Richard Harris, more than 3,000 Chiang Rai residents and some 10 rock climbers from Krabi’s Railay Bay. Meanwhile, an interactive exhibition “Tham Luang Incredible Mission: The Global Agenda” will continue at Siam Paragon until September 9, after which it will be taken on tour across the country.

The exhibition is small but very good. All the equipment, drones, radios, oxygen tanks are there, Musk's mini sub, and a replica section of cave to crawl through, with torches, helmets and kneepads if you want them. Original letter from FIFA, the note from Unsworth, all the messages of goodwill from around the world, comprehensive video and photographic material. Glad I popped in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canopy Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Impossible or not, I'll be rooting for them every step of the way. Only on thaivisa you find cranky, grumpy, old people who complain about even the good stories. Live the dream kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
