Family and friends gather together to remember the life of one of the boys rescued from a flooded cave in Thailand in 2018 who died last month.
Duangphet 'Dom' Phromthep was remembered as a natural leader with a promising life while his shrine was decorated with 17 footballs- each one to represent a year of his life.
On Saturday monks sat in a row and chanted prayers for Duangohet at Wat Phra That Doi Wao.
The little boy's mother, Thanaporn Phromthep, said: 'He got to play football. He wanted to go abroad and he got that. Thank you for the opportunities that allowed him to live out his dreams.
'Dom was an easygoing kid. He lived simply, ate simply. He didn't take himself too seriously and was a happy going person. He passed away peacefully.'
