- Jason Mallinson, 50, from Huddersfield and John Volanthen, 47, from Bristol were greeted by Thai ministers upon arriving at a Bangkok airport ahead of their flight back to the UK, and awarded free travel to the Asian nation - for life. Video shows the exhausted pair trudging through the airport in their shorts, t-shirt and backpacks before meeting Thailand's ministers for Tourism and Travel. Mr Volanthen and Mr Mallinson were among the team of British divers who took part in the daring rescue of 12 youth football players and their coach trapped in a flooded cave in northern Thailand.

I am from Thailand. We would never accomplish this task without these two men. Very much thank you for their great contributions. Can you imagine someone suddenly flew from their country to help people they do not know in the other part of the world despite knowing they would risk their lives? They are truely heroes.
tantanode: Keep in mind though that without all the Thai people, these men could not have accomplished what they did. They needed tremendous support which they got from the Thai people who pumped water out of cave, filled and laid in the air tanks all along the route, provided food and drink for all the rescuers, and one Thai woman who owned a laundry also picked up the rescuers wet clothes each night, washed and dried them, and had them back early each morning.
So, MUCH respect for the Thai people in all this. Makes me want to visit Thailand some day. (I'm American - USA).
Those Thai kids amaze me how strong and brave and stoic they were !!!
@@arx754 yeah but it’s them who did the vital part, of course it was a giving and taking but the kids wouldn’t grow up if it wasn’t with the help of foreign cave divers
These men are so obviously selfless and humble, I deeply admire them.
Obv trolling and wanting attention huh? You should work or pick up on a hobby
THEY ARE HEROS BUT NOT ONLY. THERE ARE A LIT HEROS. THANK YOU.
she tryna give that succ
ENOCH you better keep your shut and go to hell! These 2 men found the boys and their coach and help them rescued. What in the world are you talking about? Have you done anything to help SOB!
That's exactly what I was thinking!
These men deserve all the praise imaginable in this universe. They rescued those boys out of Love for Humanity.
i'm thai we would like to thank you them a million times they make thai people smiled super hero, we welcome these heros everytime,
80sGirl Asante they deserve 👍👍
yeah they deserve, i think thai government have to give visa for traveling in thailand all life,
ENOCH@ having a rough day ?
Mr Jonathan came back as finish his job well done your save all those cave out there.
Obviously they didn’t care much about the recognition. All they want is to save lives and get the job done. They are indeed Brilliant !
I would not say that. But they are tired and want to go home.
Especially when you consider he knew this was coming and he still chose to wear that shirt. What a couple casual heroes! May they never ever have to buy another beer in their lives!
ENOCH Sorry can't read the words, of the language of gobshite, don't know what the fuck you're babbling on about, did you forget to have your fix today, you shit smack head lol
Thats obvioud, and Im sure so too, my point is its his shirt.
Veronica Oliveiro
Of course, they're going to put those certificates in their storage room.
And the next year they'll forget where they keep it 😆
They look very humble and not publicity seeker... BRILIANT MEN!! THANK YOU TWO!!
*I am sure history will remember these heroes, the world thank you deeply* 🌷
cinsta8 🌷
Hillary C Definitely we will not forget the role of the coach to keep the children calm and live 🙂 Accidents happened
Khalid Bel3o I will tell you why it took 17 days to rescue them.
Because they was still practicing there final grand "debut"
-Take boys into cave
- Wait for new reporter to get there
- allow them to broadcast it to millions of people around the world.
- Get a Navy Thai seals to rescue them but then he dies.
- get USA Elon Musk to advertise he's great product and make him like the hero
Then someone said. Oh but this looks like in favour of us? We must show the public that we too have suffered in some way.
Someone said I got it. Let's say the Australian doctor dad died on the last day as he was just coming out rescuing the team.
BOOM! That's a rap! and public will know. Western save the day!
@@gameme8706
And you typing away... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@penzancegunner857 Seriously. Remind me to never listen to anything this guy says. Just watched 13 lives.
Dear Queen, please give these two gentlemen knight-hood. They well deserve it.
jokiya1 think they already hold some form of Knight hood for previous rescues.
dear queen, please take us back. we're sorry. we'll pay for the tea.
They should definitely be knighted by the Queen.
These are true hero's !!!!!
they deserve titels of a LORD. i am not briton but im am despite so proud of these two guys while their courage is endless.
Richard Stanton was awarded an MBE in 2012 for services to cave diving
They get free travel in Thailand for life 👏👏👏 Our sincere gratitude to both men Jason and John from Bristol, from the Philippines. Thank you to both
Considering diving in those almost zero visibilty water, over long distance, emerging and submerging the water and yet not finding them, dealing with disappointment despite the tired body, it takes a lot of not-giving-up attitude. You two have my deepest respect!
6 hours dives 1 way and 6 hours dives to back ,like 12 hours in the water and dark cave ,what a horrible time
Thanks our heroes Jason Mallinson and John Volanthen. They are so down to earth, wonderful a-team divers.
James Chuaycham ป้อม ศักดิ์ชัย not much talk
You can really see humility in their faces ....
R Metal true
i mean they could dive for 1 hour, return back and just say they can't find anything and cave is too complex, but they decided to go all out, truly heroes indeed.
Its crazy what you get from this video is that these are just regular people like me and you they are heroes but just human you can tell they're not entirely comfortable in front of cameras or really know how to answer questions this just shows all you need is a heart of gold.
Nobody knows the waters like the British. Best of the best!
True heroes.
The men who laid the line how about them without the line being laid down the British would have never found anything
@@donaldknowhow2148then the British would’ve laid the line down
@@donaldknowhow2148I think they're the ones who did. They went in a lot further than they were supposed to considering how much oxygen they had left and they were the first to find the boys
Thank you to all of you . . . Saving the life of the boys trapped inside the cave . . Again thank you . . .
Thank you so much both of you from a Tibetan monk india
ngawang tsogo lol no you're not
Reluctant celebrities. Humble and brave.
Hildugard extremely true 👍🏽
They all deserve medal from the king himself
thank you very much KB! where's the king, in his jeans and simply Human, with a great big bear hug for one of the most intense (positive) human experiences we've all witnessed in recent times, with the most obvious giving human beings on the planet.
John Torrente well doesn’t hurt celebrate the joy
yes, sorry, i'm celebrating the joy. i just thought the reception would have another element.
Sorry the king is in Germany where he lives
Queen
these men are worthy of admiration n emulation..great work guys!!
Both are very brave and great ,God bless them
Such amazing men wow their bravery and experience cave diving was remarkable. To see them find those boys was something I will never forget. All the divers and the navy seal who died during the mission my thoughts are with his family. His death was not in vein
Brooks Anderson yes I agree I didn't want to deal with him at all and good for you for reporting him. Thank you for that
Ms. Strachan Also, there is NO need to apologize to him. You MAY want to erase your apology. !Saludos desde Mexico!
Brooks Anderson I just erased it because you're right he doesn't deserve an apology
Yep! Apparently, the site manager doesn't consider ENOCH's post to promote hate! I've reported him 3 times and they allow his post to reappear after a brief absence, LOL! I give up!
It is getting clearer and clearer that this crazy world will be fixed by ordinary men and women with a strong sense of community and a heart of gold..!! Thank you to these guys, from South Africa!!
These are what Heroes look like! God bless all!
Kristin Johnson Amen!
Thank you for being first to discover the missing boys & coach. Navy Seal Saman who died & all divers plus Dr. Harris & all who worked tirelessly in the rescue are Heroes!
The face expression tho.. Clearly they not seeking popularity but honest
Real Life Heros..... God Bless You and Thank You!!!
I am filled with emotion when I see the heroes.A well-respect from me.
thank god for all of the countries thank you so much to

All of you are great heroes in our time. For the one who are not shown in the media, you know are being loved and respect from all of us. Great teamwork from divers to worker & volunteer and everyone involved in this rescue mission.
The world needed this rescue to happen. For the last 3 weeks we were united in our hopes that they would be home safe. Thank you for your service.
The world thanks you.
MAN HAS A SHAUN THE SHEEP T-SHIRT ON IM DEAD
Yeah! xD I hope Aardman Animations send him some gifts.
Hahahaha
I KNOW, RIGHT?! ROFLMBO
That's what I thought. LOL
Claudia Holmes
What is shaun the sheep and why you guys laughing for that?
Without their contribution, there would have been a different ending to this.
Thank you sirs. (Love the Shaun the Sheep shirt)
Free first class travel from Thai Airways for life.
Jhebrix
50% discount for life is good enough
That is what they got!
That's a very little support , they deserve more than that. Free travel to any parts of the world
It is very beautiful to see this. I have so much respect for these people, and for all the other divers and rescue personnel.
Also I wanted to say the guy with the glasses is HUGE! He could be a wrestler or something, lol. How someone who is so tall would actually want to cave dive through super narrow passages as a passion is astonishing. Good for him, though.
PS I will always think of these guys when I hear "brilliant" from now on lol
Nothing but respect from india, John and Rob... You have proved today human endurance is all about.. When humanity comes together Nothing beats it, come rain or anything.. Thank you so much for finding the kids and bring them home with the thai seals.. Respect from india 🇮🇳 🙏🙏🙏
Hats off to you..u r a hero
I never leave comments but I logged in just for this. What a perfect demonstration of selflessness. Good work, and God bless you men and remember you always. What an example of love that you have set for the world, to leave behind everything in order to rescue your fellow brothers!
They deserve it totally . Thank you Thailand
I hope they get some much needed rest. I know they've just experienced a high stress job, one that even if most had the skills and information most would still be scared to tackle. and they lost a crew member.
lol...they are used to this...they do this all the the time.
Claude Makelele still stressful.
For entering an open tourist attraction in a national park?
The sign maintained by the National Parks Authority outside the cave confirmed the tourist attraction was open and only warned about flooding and danger July to November. The sign is probably replaced with a more appropriate one now...
+Hillary C You sound like a real hater....sending you some Peace, Love & Light
A tear can also drop when a man is in much happiness and seeing a selfless sacrifice for others. He deserved to achieved the world highest bravery award. This man is really a Hero. With love and respect. From India.🇮🇳
Our gratitude to these men go beyond words. Thank you for your sacrifice and services to save these young boys and their coach. God bless you and your families and please be safe.
Heads uff to this 2 grt British Divers Salute
The real heroes!!! Kudos to all of you.You did remarkable job. In debt forever.
These two Angels were sent on earth. So humble and admirable.

I'm so happy to see these divers has been given the due praises and respect by the Thai authority for their selfless service to safe the young ones. Million thank you to both of you.
ENOCH
ENOCH stop your complains, I am not interested about their backgrounds, I am happy because they have risk their lives to safe the innocent children. Don't you have a heart for the selfless service they have given to your country. You are message make me feel that you are selfish.
A big salute and respect for these British Divers for their act of bravery. God bless you whole humanity is proud of you. 🙏🙏
For past few days, I'm constantly telling about this Thai Cave incident to my 7yr old son. I told him if you dream to become a real life super hero, dream becoming a cave diver not batman or iron man. :) Massive respect to these super heroes! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
On behalf of Thai people would like to thank you so much for all your kindness to help us also praying for us. Thank you very much for standing by us. THANK YOU to let us know that Thailand never live alone in the world, we love you guys.
Men of great courage and adventure. The world is grateful to them
Ancient english warriors were true Knights of the realm.
These men are true warrior knights of the modern day.
They will be knighted by Her Majesty that's for sure.
CONGRATULATIONS.
LOL
Breh Breh link?
These guys are more true to the idea of knights than the actuality.
Agree! And a medal from the whole world.True acts of courage and selflessness.
These two guys are the absolute best of us.
Breh Breh What is your beef with the world? Do you beat your wife regular or just during mood swings?
I hope that in many years from now we get to know their families and their everyday life, for inspiration. But now lets let them live without being harassed by the media.
I love these good and fearless guys, the heroes of our times, I don't know them, but my heart is full of love and admiration for them. And i love his Shaun shirt, shows he has a great sense of humour and loves to laugh, makes him even more likable.
Making Britain proud, Thank you and Thank you Thailand for such a gracious and generous gesture!
What a brave men they risked heir lives to safe others. Well done ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 from California
Great work for these two Britain.
Thank you for rescuing them!!! All of you are brave warriors ♥
I break down every time I watch something about the Dive Team and the boys. It was amazing, remarkable thing to get the boys out & wish everyone the best.
love how the thai government responded so quickly with gifts memorabilia and beautiful tokens of gratitude..the rescuers are heroic-all . And the many volunteers .
Brave men like no other Heros. THANK YOU.
That is way to show our gratitude all the best 👍💯
WOW THIS IS A AMAZING GREAT FULL VIDEO.
I’m here in the USA watching this today Thursday in 🇺🇸
I cannot express how proud I’m feeling about the divers and the many thankful Thai dignitaries giving these awards.
These 2 U.K. men along with the Doctor dropped everything traveled across continents knowing this would be the dive of their lives to save 13 people.
Mother Nature changed quickly trapping the kids and coach who went to the best place for safety.
It’s simply extraordinary these men with thousands of Thai workers and others who voluntarily worked out a plan like this and rescued everyone in 3 days!
To my knowledge it’s unheard of before this.
The journey in and out was a treacherous dive throwing every possible obstacle at them.
Nationalities of all different countries came together.
The coach keeping the children calm is a huge credit.
Knowing he once was a Monk had me say the kids minds were in sync.
That coach did a fantastic job!
We must not forget the Royal Navy Seals who also went in and made their way thru muddy waters. You
I believe a higher power intervened.
The Buddhist is very powerful.
I can see why Thai people are so kind and giving.
Your country is beyond beautiful.
God Bless the Royal Navy Seal who passed away coming back after delivering oxygen tanks to the 13 HERO’S.
Sanman will never be forgotten in Thailand and around the world.
May Sanman Kunan Rest In Peace.
My prayers are with his wife, children, parents, and siblings ❣️🇹🇭 🙏🏻❣️
The biggest reward is 12 boys and the coach saved by miraculous rescue effort and spirit in each rescue member. The weather conditions and cooperation made a huge impact of the success.
NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER FEAR.
Applause to 2 of the best cave divers in the world. They were born to do this and their work will never be forgotten.
Two bravest men on earth!!
Thanks for your Brilliant Mission. Good Heart To come Along 🌹❤️🙏
Thank You
That's how a super hero looks in real life!
Imagine being the first in the water of a dark cave searching for a group of Thai boys, having no guide lines, barely some light, must have been scary as fuck
well deserve appreciation .
🙏 there r so many heroes in movie.
but these r the real Heroes on earth.
They’ve done well. Without them and God’s help, their rescue mission couldn’t be possible....
They will later be played by Simon Pegg and Jude Law on upcoming Hollywood movie about this cave rescue. Movie title will be "The Thirteen"
ahmad ridho that diver is british... I believe benedict cumberbatch is the right guy wearing eyeglasses..
I was thinking the same haha. and Chris Hemsworth play the Aussie docter. Oscar Isaac play the American. and random asian actor play Saman Gunan
Which American??
The mere fact they are into cave diving shows a character that don't prefer the spotlight.
Very humble and very simple😍
They just love to save lives.
Thank you guys for being so brave and willing to risk your lives for others. Did you ever notice how true heroes are always modest and quiet. You were part of a miracle!
It's great that Thailand honoured these heroes with free travel to Thailand for life - definitely well deserved! .... does it include hotel and all costs? ;p Not sure if the divers were in a rush to get home, it would have been nice if they could stay a night or more in Bangkok to get more rest before the long flight home.
Maybe stay and leverage some of that hero status to hook up with some Thai ladies.
Rienne Koh honestly they're probably so ready to get back home to their families and their beds
Brecka Watson nah, foreign booty is always on the list for a great trip.
do you know whatt really happen is our King said we need to take really good care of all the diver who came to help, they can go wherever they can please treat them well because they all invited as a King's quest. No need of check at the immigration. So its his decission to stay maybe he will take more rest in the UK :)
I heard they have set up a buffet of all the pussy they can eat
Silent warriors, humble and strong. Shinning example to us all
BRILLIANT, word that i can never forget this year!!! SALUTE to this men!
I just watched the movie about 13 lives the men that rescued the boys and the coach are truly on a level above everyone else amazing
Good work! God bless the rescuers.
Give them the highest honour of Thailand
One day, when my children or grandchildren ask me about hero, I'll tell them about these men. Salute to you, sir!
Those guys are brilliant. One of them holds the world record for deepest cave dive, and between the two of them, they design their own gear to help them go through narrow passages.
The very best of British!
Ralph Raymond I will tell you why it took 17 days to rescue them.

Respect & love 4 every person who contributed to this search including Thai nationals too. Don't forget there's one person who lost his life during the search. RIP & my heart goes to his family. Thanks to Thai authorities for recognizing these foreign divers valuable contributions.
a true heroes...finding them alive is not a joke its an achievement the world will remember for many many years.salute and thank you.
Two absolute super HEROS.
The world needs desperately more people like you two.
Thanks for saving those kids 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

You guys are simply marvelous! What a wonderful thing you have done!
