The day football practice turned into a nightmare

Survival tale: Banpod Konkam, 45, uncle of Duangpetch 'Dom' Phromthep, 13, a member of the Moo Paa Academy football team.

It has been a week since the 12 boys and their assistant coach from Moo Paa Academy football team began making it out safely from the deadly Tham Luang cave in Chiang Rai's Mae Sai district.

All of them are still in the care of Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital where their treatment will carry on until later this week.

With the boys currently being monitored in isolation, the hospital only allows visits by close members of the family from behind a glass window so it has been impossible for the media to talk to the team members or coach at this point.
