While waiting to be rescued, the boys hold on to their little hope. They make plans for after the rescue and they make an important promise: When they get out of the cave, they will always stick together and look after one another. They will never go somewhere without telling the other where they are going or else they will end up in the same sticky situation as they are now. The only thing keeping the boys going are memories of their families. The faces of their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and grandparents fill their heads in the daytime and in sleep. It brings them comfort to imagine what life will be like again once they are back.

At another temple the senior monk noticed that he loved children and worked with them very efficiently, children would listen to him when they listened to no one else, he noticed that he also loved games. Coach Ek's dream at the time was to lead his own soccer team, when the head coach of the Wild Boars appointed him as an assistant he was beyond happy.

At one point they got a call from the Thai army to deal with the situation at Tham Luang. Thanet gets frustrated that the team only has 2D maps of the cave instead of 3D ones, which require special seismic equipment that he urges the team to get, but they say no. At this rate, the rain has stopped, but there's no way that they'll even make a dent in the amount of water there is, it's best if they pump the water out from the bottom of the mountain so that the water level can go down naturally. Thanet discovers that there's another cave at a lower elevation called Sai Tong, it has a creek that flows out of the cave mouth into a pond, if Tham Luang and Sai Tong are connected, then the water could be drained out through the Sai Tong pond by drilling under the pond.

The Americans were very good at speaking with the Thais and eventually made the Thais see sense in the plan. Major Hodges pointed out all of the problems in different plans and explained why the diving option was the best. Sergeant Anderson showed the Thais his plan and made them think it was well made and thought about. The Thais and all of the rescuers finally came up with a plan they all agreed with. Because of the Americans' speaking skills, the boys were able to be rescued safely and without any communication problems.
