Adul at the presser describing the moment they were found:

He has a lot of humbleness I feel.

Singapore diver Douglas Yeo tells Channel NewsAsia how he felt as he helped bring the boys and their football coach to safety from Tham Luang cave complex.

During the presser, there are two women which are each in the middle of the top and bottom row. Who are those women?

I can't find a reference for this but I believe they are Psychiatrists/Doctors who evaluated the team's mental health.

ETA- It doesn't identify them in this article but IIRC one of the women said this quote during the presser:

The doctor taking care of the boys' mental health said she had spoken with each of them in depth.

"Using psychological principles, as well as the treatment program that we conducted, we found that each of the team members was very well-adjusted, well-adjusted socially," she said.
"We are able to conclude that they are very physically fit as well as mentally appropriate."

Many of the boys hail from the sleepy district of Mae Sai, near the border with Myanmar. Some were greeted with hugs, tears and smiles from waiting relatives and friends when they returned home on Wednesday. Others were blessed with water as they entered their homes.

On Thursday, some of the boys and their relatives took part in religious ceremonies at Mae Sai's Wat Pha That Doi Wao temple - an ancient temple with scenic views of the surrounding countryside.
Reporters were not allowed close to the boys and their families at the temple to give them privacy.

Here is a short overview of what was said at the press conference (similar to a translation). Adding just s couple of the comments:


OVERVIEW: Rescued Thai cave boys ready to go home and eat 'crispy pork, frog legs'


12:29: "The reason to hold this evening press conference is so media can ask them questions and after that they can go back to live their normal lives without media bothering them," Thailand's chief government spokesperson Sunsern Kaewkumnerd told AFP.

14:06: The coach says the lesson they have learnt is “they will spend their lives beneficially, carefully and whatever endeavour we attempt we will think properly before we go ahead”

14:26: The psychologist who treated the boys now speaking. "I would like the boys to go back to normal life, it would help with development," she says.

"Because they are good kids already."

"Don't ask them awkward questions, allow them some space."

Thai cave rescue: Trauma expert says journalists' questions could affect boys' recovery

Journalists had their questions moderated by a child psychologist at the first press conference with the rescued Thai boys. The youth football team left hospital on Wednesday after escaping a cave where they were trapped for more than two weeks.

"What would be really unfortunate is for them to have information injected into their narrative, into their story, which is contrary to a story of resilience, survival and a positive future."

All together now (to the tune of 10 green bottles)

"13 Thai footballers, sitting in a cave, 13 Thai footballers, sitting in a cave, and as one got rescued and acted very brave, there were 12 Thai footballers, sitting in a cave"

That was the song in my head when they were getting rescued
