On November 16, 2018, the cave complex was reopened, and has received thousands of visitors. Over 100 vendor stalls have been created on the roads that lead to the park to sell souvenirs, T-shirts, and food to tourists.
As the Tham Luang cave is not opened to the public, it is viewable through a chain-link fence, and visitors can still unravel other caves – Buddha, Naga, and Chamois.
“This is an amazing thing that has happened for the people in this area,” Vipa Romaneechutima, who sells lottery tickets near the entrance to the cave, told The Guardian.
“People tried to make Tham Luang a tourist attraction before, many times, but it never became popular. Now it is famous all over the world because of the boys saved from the cave. We are not just happy because of the money from tourists. We are also very proud people want to travel here to see our beautiful park. It is an honor for us,” she said.
