Nick, a student at Baan San Sai School, also had his birthday in the cave, on June 23, the day the boys went missing.

Nick is not a member of the Wild Boars; he had joined the team's practice match on 23 June to spend time with his friend Bew.

He is described as a diligent student, well-mannered and an ambassador for his school, the Baan San Sai School, said a teacher.

From Nick to his parents

"Mum and dad I love you, and I love nong [his brother or sister] too. If I can get out please take me to eat crispy pork. Love you mum, dad, Nong." ❤

From Nick's parents

"Please take care of yourself. Daddy and Mommy are waiting for you. Father Be, Mother Nang, and Nong Bonus"
