CHIANG RAI: The 12 boys and their football coach rescued after being trapped in a flooded cave in northern Thailand are recovering well and are eager to eat their favourite comfort foods after their expected discharge from hospital next week.

In video messages of the boys shown at a news conference yesterday, they are seen wearing surgical masks, a safeguard against infection that’s been taken since the last of them were pulled from the Tham Luang cave on Tuesday.
