Thailand - Fifth footballer emerges from cave, taken to hospital by chopper


A fifth boy has emerged from the Tham Luang cave near Chiang Rai, exiting at about 5pm on Tuesday.

The young Mu Pa Academy footballer, whose name has not been revealed, was taken by ambulance from the cave in Mae Sai district before boarding a chopper to Chiangrai Prachanukraw hospital in Muang district, said a source.

He was the first to come out of the cave on day two of the operation to evacuate the footballers and their assistant coach from the cave, where they were stranded 15 days ago.

On Monday, four of his team members were separately extracted from the cave and are receiving treatment at the hospital.
