Welcome back! In today's episode, we are discussing Thailand's Tham Luang Cave. In 2018, 12 school boys & their coach became trapped inside when a freak storm rolled in and flooded their only exit.
In part 1, we discuss some background about the boys, their soccer team, the town they lived in (Mae Sai) and then the first 10 days of this rescue effort. We are doing a deep dive while also trying to keep it light with a couple of laughs throughout. If you're interested in cave diving and/or claustrophobia inducing tales, you'll enjoy this video.
