Chanin “Titan” Vibulrungruang told ABC News that while stuck in the cave, he “thought about my parents” and felt that they “would be waiting in front of the cave.”

Titan's smile is priceless
Such Beautiful boys. So happy for them. 13 rescued and today the sad news of 23 babies being massacred in a child care centre. May Buddha bless their souls and have them at peace. We are so saddened & heart broken for their families. πππππ«Άπ»π«Άπ»π«Άπ»β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
UST WATCHED THE NEW NETFLIX – THE TRAPPED 13 – with the real kids
Someone in authority NEEDS to reach out to the BBC/ABC News reporter James Longman and have him set up and administer a Go-Fund-Me for Coach Eak
That 25 yr coach clearly saved the 12 boys from madness, none of us, nor the boys would have stayed sane in that situation.
Coach Eak deserves his future guaranteed, his parents and brother all dead, the world owes him a good life, not free, just a good life. No scrimping or struggles. His education and home paid for. James Longman seems a decent bloke, with his BBC &ABC connections I would trust him to do this the right way. Anyone know James Insta pass this on
All sedated he never knew how he got out.
Total BS… He DIDN'T come out of the cave on his coaches back..Each of the kids parents HAD TO AGREE to their kid to be sedated and knocked when the divers were taking them out… The each were given a wet suit and full face diving masks and they were harnessed to the stomach side of the divers looking at them so they could monitor and make sure they were always breathing because it was the only way. Divers had to avoid hitting their mask so water couldn't get in. Parents were literally told either you agree to them being heavily sedated for the trip out or they stay until the end of monsoon season when the water recedes and they can walk out and they would have brought in supplies if that is what they choose but they couldn't guarantee survival with either choice because they could not know how much more water would go in and they were forced to sign waivers that the rescuers would not be responsible if something went wrong and also agreed to have them knocked out so they would not panic while diving out… So the boys definitely can't describe the point in time that they put the mask on until they were out of the cave because they were drugged… That's the only reason they can't describe it… To them they were inside the cave then woke up in a hospital bed… All of them…
Their smiles in the Cave. Imagine us getting mad or in despair for maybe simple problems. These kids with all the odds againts them. Still smile.
Im thankful for their safety. RIP to the Navy seals who passed away

This kid really has the most beautiful smileπ
I lived in Chiang Rai at this time. The kids were ALL sedated and were taken out by two divers each over a multi day period of time . No one carried anyone on their back out the cave from where they were stranded. as many portiona of the route out were completely flooded. I have to say that the thai navy seals and the British cae divers along with the two diving physicians were extremely brave and exhibited a true valor in their extremely taxing and complex game plan . My high school students in Samakkhai Wittikhom, Chiang Rai, were extremely concerned and asked me during the days of the rescue if I thought the kids would get out alive. All I could tell them was "prays for the boys and their coach". Beyond amazong that they got everyone out alive
Amazing coach,keep the kudos alive without food for 10 days,respect.
When I heard about this story, it shook me to my core, this made me so hopeful and restored my faith in humanity, and I love stories like this

I'm curious did the coach get in trouble for taking the boys to the cave? I hope not. If that happened here in the USA that coach together with the boys school would be facing a deluge of lawsuit from the parents. So happy to see they were all rescued.
After listening to Dr Harry's account of how it happened we know this not true. However I believe his mind concocted the story at some crucial point – maybe coming out of anaesthetic – to cope with the trauma, and believes it is true.
I love seeing Titan smile! Heβs so adorable! π€π€ππ»ππ»
I can't stop tears rolling down my cheeks.
