The video, filmed in a hospital in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, sees some of the boys making 'horn' and 'victory' signs, while appearing to smile from behind their green surgical masks.
The last remaining four school boys and their coach, who had been trapped in the Tham Luang cave complex for 18 days, were carried out on stretchers on Tuesday at the end of a three-day operation.
The video also sees some of their parents, who are still not allowed to touch - let alone hug - their sons due to the risk of infection, crying and waving to them from the other side of the glass windows.
The footage was shown during a press conference held by the rescue chief, acting Chiang Rai Governor Narongsak Osottanakorn, who praised the children as 'heroes'.
He said he believed the Wild Boar FC players would 'grow up to be good citizens', and added that they are 'healthy and strong'.
Their miraculous escape, during which the 12 boys were moved out one by one over three days, had seen them endure dives in zero visibility lasting up to half an hour, the leader of the U.S. contingent of the operation has revealed.
U.S. Air Force rescue specialist Derek Anderson detailed how parts of the rescue route would see the Wild Boar FC players put in a harness and high-lined across rocky caverns.
