BANGKOK (Sputnik) – Thai authorities discovered all 12 children and their football coach who had been missing in caves in the northern Chiang Rai province for nine days, the provincial governor said on Monday.

"All 12 teenagers and their coach were found, they are all alive. Navy divers found them in the so-called Pattaya Beach cave, to which they were thrusting through since the first day of this unprecedented operation," Narongsak Osottanakorn said in a televised address aired by the Thai PBS broadcaster.
