All 13 rescued from flooded Thai cave

Thai cave miracle: Hero refugee boy, 14, who speaks five languages helped co-ordinate dramatic rescue

The Thai boys cave rescue is a story of many heroes – including one of the boys himself, who helped co-ordinate the rescue by communicating with British divers.

Myanmar refugee Adul Sam-on, is able to speak five languages – including English – and was able to translate instructions between the divers, the group of young boys and their football coach.

Adul, who also speaks Thai, Burmese, and Chinese, began school when he was seven years old having left his family behind to get a good education.

He was among the group of 12 boys trapped deep inside the Tham Luang cave in Thailand, who were all rescued this week in a dangerous operation.

Thailand cave rescue: Children found ‘by smell’
John Volanthen, from Bristol, was one of a number of foreign expert divers drafted in for the rescue of 12 boys and their football coach who had been trapped in a Thai cave for nine days.

He tells BBC Points West about the moment he and his fellow divers first discovered the children alive.

Mr Volanthen said they knew they had found them due to the smell in the cave.
