The Thai cave where 12 boys and their soccer coach were trapped for 17 days reopened to the public for the first time since the group’s dramatic rescue more than a year ago, according to a new report.

At least 2,000 visitors swarmed the Tham Luang Khun Nam Nang Non National Park Friday to be among the first to see the section of the cave where the team became trapped during heavy flooding in June 2018, the Bangkok Post reported.

The park, located in the Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai, opened its first chamber to visitors from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local time. The section where the team was trapped had undergone renovation work since the incident, according to reports.

Only 20 people at a time were allowed to enter, and they were required to have a permit.

Jongklai Worapongsathork, the deputy director-general of national parks, wildlife and plant conservation, held a ceremony to mark the official reopening — complete with religious rites.

The saga of the Wild Boars club gripped the world after the 12 boys and coach Ekapol Chantawong explored the Tham Luang cave on June 23, 2018, and were trapped by rising floodwaters.

An international search dubbed “Mission Impossible” was launched and the group was found by Thai navy SEALs and other experienced divers on July 2.

About 1.5 million people visited the site prior to the reopening, but they were not allowed to go inside as repairs were underway, according to the Bangkok Post.
