Thailand’s elite national team trains in their National Sports Training Centre in Saraburi with full speed to the upcoming events. All of their four qualified boxers for Tokyo as Sudaporn Seesondee, Baison Manikon, Thitisan Panmod and Chatchai Decha Butdee have been preparing to their objectives with strong motivations.

Thailand’s elite female and male teams prepared at home hard during the quarantine period of the Covid-19 pandemic especially in Spring time. They returned to their National Training Centre after three months of break in June and began their preparations to the upcoming events with safety measures and all of their boxers passed successfully the medical tests several times.

Thailand had only around 3,500 Coronavirus including only 100 active cases in their 70 million population in the recent 7 months which shows their strong success against Covid-19. The Southeast Asian country is opening step by step and their management is planning to host national and international events in the near future.

Some of Thailand’s previous Olympic boxing heroes as Sydney 2000 Champion Mr. Wijan Ponlid, and Mr. Suban Pannon are also with team as coaches and support the preparation of the elite national team. Sudaporn Seesondee was named as the captain of their women’s boxing team, while veteran three-time Olympian Chatchai Decha Butdee received the honour to lead the male squad.

Their preparation turned to its next phase in Saraburi where all of the equipment, medical, psychological, mental, and dietetic supports are available for the boxers. Altogether 34 boxers including 14 elite girls and 20 males are involved to the training camp with the support of 16 coaches which makes the possibility to arrange individual and special preparations for the athletes.

Thailand has qualified already four boxers to the Tokyo Olympic Games through the Asian & Oceanian Olympic Boxing Qualifying Event which was held in Amman on March 2021. The Southeast Asian boxing power sent eleven athletes to the first qualification event and among them eight reached the quarter-finals and finally four qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
