Thai monk rescued after being trapped for 4 days in flooded cave
A Thai monk who spent four days trapped in a flooded cave was rescued Wednesday.
Phra Ajarn Manas, a 46-year-old Buddhist monk, entered the cave Saturday to meditate, Reuters reported. He was making a pilgrimage and stopped at the cave in Phitsanulok.
