Chiang Rai Governor Narongsak Osottanakorn confirmed at about 10pm on Monday that all 13 are safe, speaking after a mammoth search operation in the Tham Luang caves in Chiang Rai.
He also made clear that rescue operations would continue non-stop until the victims were safely transferred out of the cave and to hospitals.

As of press time, doctors with high diving skills are on their way to the spot where the victims had stayed.
Checkups are needed to determine whether the football’s team members can be moved out of the dark cave immediately.
If not, they will receive first aids and food inside the cave first.
Victim transportation plans have already drawn up.
Good news declared by Narongsak received loud cheers .
