Authorities and Thais living in South Korea this week rescued a 20-year-old Thai ladyboy who’d been lured to Pusan with a promise of work in a cabaret but was instead forced into prostitution.

Chiang Rai - The 12 boys rescued from a Thai cave were sedated and passed on stretchers along the twisting, narrow passageways of the Tham Luang complex, a rescuer said Wednesday as the first footage emerged of an astonishing mission that has captivated the world.
