As the rescue divers work tirelessly to overcome the odds and save the football team and their coach from the Tham Luang caves, tributes pour in from all corners of the internet.

These tributes take the form of words of encouragement and gratitude, as well as artworks that praise the divers' bravery and kindness.

Like this illustration which depicts a diver holding on to a boar and guiding it on the way out (the boys' football team is called Wild Boar):

A user shared a photo of other men clapping as one of the divers exited from the cave on July 8, the first day of the rescue mission:

Another shows how the caves spell home, thanks to the divers:

And a drawing of a (Navy) seal meeting a boar:
