In 2018, a local soccer team, Wild Boars, went on a fun expedition to Tham Luang, a dangerous cave system in Chiang Rai province of northern Thailand. The group included the team’s twelve boys, aged between 11 and 16, and their 24-year-old assistant coach. The boys had the day trip planned to celebrate one of the team member’s birthday. However, it turned into a harrowing experience as they found themselves trapped deep inside the cave. Due to heavy rain over the mountain, the cave had gotten flooded. The incident captivated the world as it led to an international rescue operation. The boys spent 18 days trapped in the cave.
Netflix’s Thai Cave Rescue ending explained: Do the boys make it out of the cave alive?
The six episodic Thai Cave Rescue chronicles the incredible search and rescue operation after the Wild Boars get trapped. The rescue team included cave experts, military personnel, and an international cave diving team. Not only that, several volunteers remained on the scene to support the operation by providing food stalls, among other things.

Netflix’s Thai Cave Rescue ending sees all twelve boys and their coach successfully rescued by courageous experts. The rescue mission, however, results in the loss of one life, that of a Royal Thai Navy SEAL. Following the rescue, the boys receive treatment at a local hospital.
Despite the rescue operation’s success, the following events are rather tragic. The actor who played the inspiring assistant coach Eak, Papangkorn Lerkchaleampote, passed away on March 23, 2022, before the series’ Netflix release.
Another life was lost last year. Duangphet Phromthep, captain of the Wild Boars football team, passed away on February 14, 2023, at the age of 17. He reportedly died by suicide while attending a school in the UK.
