At a news conference, Chiang Rai Governor Narongsak Osotthanakorn confirmed that four boys have been brought out and have safely arrived at a hospital in Chiang Rai.
The first boy exited the cave at 5:40 p.m. local time, the operation chief told reporters, adding that rescue workers need "about 10 to 20 hours" to prepare for the next stage of this historic mission.
“We’ve used all the oxygen,” he said.
A total of 90 divers including 40 Thais and 50 internationals are involved in Sunday's operation.

At least two members of a Thai schoolboy soccer team have been rescued from a flooded cave on Sunday evening, according to Reuters citing a local official.
"Two kids are out. They are currently at the field hospital near the cave," Tossathep Boonthong, chief of Chiang Rai' health department and part of the rescue team was quoted saying according to Reuters.
"We are giving them a physical examination. They haven't been moved to Chiang Rai hospital yet," Tossathep added.
Some media says that three kids are out, but no official announcement has been made yet on the number.
The rescue operation started at 9:00 am (0200GMT) on Sunday morning, with 13 foreign divers and five Navy SEALs sent into the cave for the rescue operation.
Narongsak Osottanakorn, head of the rescue mission, said earlier in the day that "Today we're at the peak of readiness."
The 12 boys and their coach have been trapped for more than two weeks since June 23.
