A Thai government official says all 12 boys and their coach are doing well after their rescue from the Tham Luang cave.

Thongchai Lertwilairatanapong is a Thai public health inspector. He told the Associated Press Wednesday that the boys lost about two kilograms of weight during their time in the cave. He said they survived by drinking clean water dripping into the cave.

Four boys were rescued Sunday, and another four were guided to safety on Monday. The remaining four boys and their coach were pulled out Tuesday.

The first photographs of the boys recovering in a Chiang Rai hospital were released Wednesday. It showed that many of them appeared to be in good condition. Some made the two-finger victory sign from their hospital beds. The photos also showed parents of the boys looking at their children through a glass window.
