The road ahead

» On Friday (June 21), Adul Sam-on, one of the boys saved from Chiang Rai's Tham Luang Cave, will turn 15. Last year, two days after his birthday, he joined his coach and fellow soccer players in their exploration of the fifth-longest cave in Thailand. Little did Adul or anyone else know that the previous year could have been his last. So his birthday celebration this year is a testament to the miraculous rescue after an 18-day ordeal in the 10km-long cave.
