Eleven boys from a football team rescued from a flooded Thai cave in a drama that gripped global audiences were ordained as Buddhist novices on Wednesday in memory of a volunteer diver who died during their rescue.

The Wild Boars football team and their 25-year-old coach, Ekapol Chanthawong, arrived at the Wat Phra That Doi Tung temple in Chiang Rai's Mae Sai district dressed in white robes amid light rain and fog.

The group listened to Buddhist chanting before they were given saffron robes to wear during an emotionally-charged ceremony that was broadcast live on Facebook by local authorities.

'Your nation is so proud of you': The two hero doctors who rescued the 12 boys and their coach trapped in a Thai cave receive a rare double honour for their roles as the seven other Australians involved are also lauded.



Adelaide anaesthetist Dr Richard Harris and his dive partner Dr Craig Challen received the rare double honour of the Medal of the Order of Australia and the Star of Courage for their roles in the daring rescue.



Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove (front row, third from left) presented the medals to those involved in the mission, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull (front tow, second from right) and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten (front row, farleft) in attendance at Tuesday's ceremony at Government House in Canberra.
