Thailand's stadiums get mega makeover
Bangkok Post
|October 10, 2025
Major stadiums in Thailand have undergone a huge upgrade as the country is set to host the 33rd Southeast Asian Games and the 13th Asean Para Games in December and January 2026.
The 2025 SEA Games will take place between Dec 9-20 in three cities — Bangkok, Chon Buri and Songkhla, while the Asean Para games will be held in Nakhon Ratchasima from Jan 20-26, 2026.
While no new stadium has been built for either tournament, Bangkok's Rajamangala National Stadium has received a huge upgrade as it will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the SEA Games, said Dr Gongsak Yodmani, Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT).
The 80th Birthday Stadium in Nakhon Ratchasima, which will be a venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asean Para Games, has also received a major facelift, he added.
