A 13 x 3 metre mural has become the latest step in immortalising the Tham Luang cave rescue for generations to come. Instantly will shortly be moved to be part of an exhibit which will be constructed on the front of the mouth of the caves.
“The Heroes” is a canvas portray which portrays the story and the many, many people concerned in the dramatic rescue of the thirteen Mu Pa soccer team members from the Mae Sai caves earlier this month.
The mural was unveiled yesterday by Thailand’s national artist Mr Chalermchai Kositpipat and Mr Suvit Jaipom, president of Khua Silpa Association.
Thai PBS reviews that Thai and international vacationers have been available to witness the unveiling of the canvas portray undertaken by Mr Chalermchai and several other artists in dedication to the rescuers, the thirteen survivors and, especially to Lt Commander Samarn Kunan, a former Navy SEAL who died while taking part in the rescue operation.
The national artist stated that the portray is on public show on the Khua Silpa Association for a brief while because of the rains in the course of the wet season which could trigger injury to the portray.
Tthe portray might be moved to a museum that might be constructed in front of the Tham Luang cave entrance where a statue of the late Lt Commander Samarn will also be erected. The statue is already underway and can take 4-5 months to be accomplished.
The nationwide artist has mentioned that he will deal with the bills for the construction of the pavilion and the statue with none authorities help. He said he will print copies of the painting and publish a book about the rescue operation for sale to raise fund for the construction projects at Tham Luang cave.
