The cave: Museum and tourist destination

The Tham Luang cave will be turned into a museum to showcase the rescue, the head of the operation said on Wednesday according to a report by Reuters.

When asked the reason for the decision, Thai officials said the fate of the boys and the multinational rescue had put the cave firmly on the map, and plans were in place to develop it into a tourist destination.

"This area will become a living museum, to show how the operation unfolded," rescue mission head Narongsak Osottanakorn said at a news conference.

"An interactive data base will be set up," he said. "It will become another major attraction for Thailand."
