As Thai search enters seventh day, divers cling to hope of finding lost boys

By Panu Wongcha-um CHIANG RAI, Thailand (Reuters) - Having failed to find any sign of 12 boys and their soccer coach during a week-long search of flooded cave complex in northern Thailand, rescuers held out hope on Saturday that the group could have found safety on a rocky mound in one of the chambers. Divers were still some way from the potential safety spot, called "Pattaya Beach" after one of Thailand's best known tourist destinations. Meantime, a police search party has entered the cave from the surface, having drilled a 50-metre long shaft from the mountainside.
