A major priority of the Sports Authority of Thailand is raising the capabilities of Thai athletes on the international stage. Last year, Somkiat “Kong” Chantra made history by securing a podium finish in Moto2, bringing great pride to Thais nationwide.

Mr. Narucha Kosacivilize, Governor of Buriram Province, highlighted the pivotal role of sports in driving the local economy and tourism.

This year, Buriram is fully prepared to welcome over 200,000 visitors, including tourists, competitors, teams, media representatives, and event staff, across the three-day event. Every facet of the province’s organization and management of the event has been meticulously enhanced to ensure an unparalleled experience.
