The team who were transported in three minibuses at the hospital in northern Thailand’s Chiang Rai province, were seen wearing football kits.

In a move to satisfy the the intense media speculation that has accompanied their epic underground ordeal, the boys have been discharged earlier than reported, with the hope that a question and answer section would go a long way to clarify curiosity.

The boys are due to return to their homes later Wednesday.

Sunsern said that the press conference which would be moderated in am internal style would be titled “Sending the Wild Boars Home” and broadcast on major television channels, the session will last for about 45 minutes.
