On wednesday in a nationally televised news conference,the 12 thai boys and their soccer coach rescued from a flooded cave will make their first public appearance . 25 year-old-coach and boys aged 11 to 16 sparked an international rescue effort. They have been hospitalised since the time of rescue.  “I pass the hospital where the children are staying every day and every day I say a prayer to thank Lord Buddha for their return,” said Duang, a noodle vendor, who only wanted to be identified by her first name. The Thai government will allot 45 minutes’ airtime on its “Thailand Moves Forward” for the soccer team’s news conference. Some Thai television personalities joked that the boys will help ratings of the otherwise dull television show, which is usually reserved for monotonous conversations about the military government’s performance. “This is the story all Thais want to hear. Don’t switch it off, don’t put it on mute,” joked a presenter VOICE TV, a television station that is often critical of the military government.“It should help the Thailand Moves Forward show’s ratings shoot through the roof,” he added. Global media attention was drawn towards the soccer team’s rescue operation .Coach and boys are now under media attention. The boys,their coach and some rescuers will be asked a series of carefully vetted questions submitted by journalists in advance, officials said. Media and the public were asked to respect the boys privacy after they are discharged.
