I saw people tweeting about the reason why they took ‘Mark’ out of the cave first.
His name is ‘Mongkol Boonpiam’.
In Thai, Mongkol means ‘auspicious’ and Boonpiam means ‘full of merit’.
So, they took him out first for a good luck charm❤️ #Thaicaverescue #Thamluang pic.twitter.com/coz72MjJjW— ~*ภรรยาท่านลอร์ด*~ (@Superwcb) July 8, 2018
The soccer team went missing on June 23 while exploring the six-mile-long Tham Luang Nang Non cave system, which is in a park in northern Thailand near the Myanmar border.
The boys range in age from 11 to 16, and are with their 25-year-old coach. They play for the Wild Boar soccer team.
