THE “WILD BOARS” youth football team, whose plight captivated the world a year ago when they were trapped for nearly three weeks in a flooded cave, paid their respects on Monday to a diver who died trying to save them.

CHIANG RAI province on Sunday hosted a running and cycling event to commemorate last year’s rescue of members of the Wild Boars Football Club from the flooded Tham Luang Cave and to pay tribute to diver Saman Gunan, who lost his life during the dramatic effort.
