Football coach of Thai boys in cave offers ‘apologies’ to parents: navy
MAE SAI, Thailand, July 7, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The 25-year-old coach of a
youth football team trapped for two weeks in a Thai cave has offered his
“apologies to the parents” of the boys in a scrawled note released by the
Thai Navy on Saturday.
It is the first message from Ekkapol Chantawong, who for nine days was the
only adult with the children — aged 11 to 16 — until they were discovered
on a muddy ledge by rescue divers on Monday.
