The soccer coach of 12 boys who were famously trapped in a cave in northern Thailand in 2018 became stuck again this week, this time forced to spend a night perched on a rooftop during flash floods in the country.
Ekkapol Chantawong told Agence France-Presse that Typhoon Yagi forced him, his family, his girlfriend and her aunt onto the roof of their home in the northern Thai district of Mae Sai on Tuesday. He said they had no time to escape the flash flooding.
