One of the twelve Thai boys found trapped in a cave in Thailand has celebrated his fourteenth birthday the day after he and his friends were discovered by rescuers.

Duangpetch Phromthep, known as ‘Dom’, was trapped in the Thamg Luang cave network in the country’s north along with eleven other teammates on his local football team and their coach ten days ago.

Their disappearance sparked a massive international search operation to try and track them down – resulting in their eventual discovery yesterday, http://www.dailymail.co.uk reports.

After Dom was found by rescuers, a well-wisher posted a jubilant message on social media wishing her son a happy birthday and saying ‘you’re almost out’.
