CHIANG RAI, Oct 17 (TNA) – A museum commemorating the
mission to rescue 12 boys and their football coach trapped in Thailand’s Tham
Luang cave in northern Chiang Rai province is now open to the public.
The main features of the museum at Phra That Doi Wao Temple
are portraits of Kru Ba Boonchum, a revered Buddhist monk, and ex-Navy Seal
officer Saman Gunan, who died while taking part in the rescue operation.
About 5,000 photographs and painting of the rescue operation
from June 23 to July 11 are on display to depict the amazing story of the Wild
Boars or Moo Pa Academy footballers.
The 12 boys and their coach went to explore the cave on June
23 planning to stay about one hour but they were trapped inside for 17 days due
to sudden flood. All of them were
successfully extracted out on July 11 in the international rescue efforts.
Phra That Doi Wao was the temple where the boys and the
coach were ordained as Buddhist novice monks in late July.(TNA)
