A FLURRY of activity at the mouth of the Thai cave system, where a football team and their coach have been incarcerated for more than two weeks, has seen three boys emerge within hours of one another.
That means seven players have now been rescued with reports one other boy could make their way to safety on Monday.
That would leave just four boys and their coach deep within the tunnel complex.
The fifth boy blinked into the daylight at about 4.30pm (7.30pm AEST) with the sixth at about 6pm local time (9pm AEST) and the seventh at 7pm (10pm AEST).

And an eighth person has now been carried from the cave on a stretcher, according to Reuters.
If the boys are brought out four by four as expected, that could be it for the day. But as detailed below, officials have been so cautious going on record with any details of the rescue that it makes it difficult to know what will come next.

A press conference is beginning here in Mae Sai, after the successful retrieval of four boys from Tham Luang Nang Non cave this afternoon. “We are so happy to rescue another four,” says Narongsak Osatanakorn, the head of the joint command centre coordinating the operation.
He says the mission time is getting faster: rescuers have now shaved two hours off their initial estimate for the time it would take to ferry each boy out. The first operation today commenced at 11am and the first boy emerged around 4.30pm, according to some reports. That’s about five-and-a-half hours, much less than the 11 hour round-trip some divers were making to the boys earlier this week.

THE third rescue mission in the Thai cave system has now begun in what might be the final push to retrieve the four remaining boys and their soccer coach trapped in the tunnels.
At 10.08am local time (1.08pm AEST) 19 divers headed back into the Tham Luang cave complex.
“We expect that everybody will be out today, the children and coach and everybody will be out today,” said Mission Commander and Governor of Chiang Rai province Narongsak Osottanakorn, on Tuesday afternoon.
The third rescue operation is currently underway, rescue mission chief Narongsak Osottanakorn has told a news conference.
The operation began this morning at 10:08 local time (03:08 GMT), he said.
Rescuers aim to extract all remaining four boys, the youngest of whom is 11 years old, as well as their 25-year-old coach on Tuesday.
"All five will be brought out at the same time today," Osottanakorn said as attending reporters and rescue workers cheered.

Heavy rains inundate northern Thailand

Breaking: Operation resumes on day 3 for final 5
Divers and rescue workers in Thailand have begun what could be the final push to free four boys and their soccer coach still trapped in a cave in the country's remote north, according to a Thai Navy official with knowledge of the operational details.
Eight of the boys were taken out of the cave during the first two days of rescue operations, but five others remain trapped on a ledge 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) inside the cave system.

If everything goes to plan, by end of the day, no Wild Boars will be left inside the cave.
“You have seen the rain so you might be wondering – preparation for the third operation has been underway since early morning,” said Narongsak Osatanakorn, the head of the joint command centre coordinating the operation.
He said the first 19 divers involved in today’s operation were sent in around 10.08am, with more to enter gradually throughout the day.
Torrential rain overnight had not affected conditions for the rescue, he said, it was hoped the rescue could proceed even faster than yesterday’s.
“The first day we spent 11 hours, yesterday we spent nine hours, we hope we can do it faster or the same as yesterday.”
“If everything goes right, we will see four kids and a doctor and Seals that have stayed with the kids will all come out,” he said. “Four plus one coach, so it’s five.”

Quite a bit has happened so far today.
The main thing to note, of course, is that the third and hopefully final rescue mission began a few hours ago, with the intention of bringing out all four boys, their 25-year-old coach, and the doctor and the navy Seals who have been in the cave with them. We’ll bring you updates as we get them about that mission.
19 divers went back into the cave system at 10.08am, local time.
Authorities hope the mission can be completed even faster than yesterday’s nine hours, which shaved two hours off the total time of the first mission.
Conditions remain similar to previous days, despite heavy rains overnight.

Jedsada Chokdumrongsuk, permanent secretary at the Public Health Ministry, said the first four boys rescued, aged 12 to 16, are now able to eat normal food.
Two of them possibly have a lung infection but all eight are generally "healthy and smiling," he said.
"The kids are footballers so they have high immune systems," Mr Jedsada said. "Everyone is in high spirits and are happy to get out. But we will have a psychiatrist to evaluate them."
It could be at least seven days before they can be released from hospital, Mr Jesada told a news conference.
Family members have seen at least some of the boys from behind a glass isolation barrier, and Mr Jedsada said doctors may let the boys walk around their beds on Tuesday.
Mr Jedsada said they were uncertain what type of infections the boys could face "because we have never experienced this kind of issue from a deep cave."
The second group of four rescued on Monday are aged 12 to 14.
