    The Boys in the Cave. Tham Luang-Khun Nam Nang Non National Park. January Outsiders Only.

    In June of 2018 what began as an after practice adventure became a global sensation. When the monsoon season arrived early, flood waters trapped 12 boys and their football coach in the depths of a cave in northern Thailand. For over two weeks, meditation, prayer and teamwork kept the group strong and calm underground as a multi-national rescue operation of unprecedented size and complexity took shape above - all culminating in a story that has gone down in history as a modern day miracle.
