Extra precautions will be added to the cave where 12 young soccer players and their coach were trapped for over two weeks — to make sure no one else gets stranded there, Thailand’s prime minister assured on Tuesday.

“In future, we have to monitor the entrance and exit to the cave. This cave has become world famous … we have to install more lights inside the cave and put up signs,” Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters in Bangkok.

The boys and their 25-year-old coach had wandered into the Tham Luang cave network June 23 as part of an initiation ritual, when flash floods locked them inside. British divers found the team huddled on a muddy slope in a partly flooded chamber about 2.5 miles inside the complex last Monday.

“It’s a dangerous cave,” Prayuth said, adding that safety measures would have to be put in place both outside and inside the cave.

Visitors are advised not to enter the cave during the rainy season because it is known to be prone to flooding.

Last week, the Tourism Authority of Thailand said it planned to promote the Tham Luang cave as an attraction since its been so prominent in the news, as rescuers worked to free the team.

“The cave has become of interest for both local and foreign travelers,” Karuna Dechatiwong, TAT director in Chiang Rai province, told media.

But the prime minister said that the cave would be closed to the public for a while until “everything is in order.”
