KORAT BIDS FAREWELL, ‘SELAMAT DATANG” TO KUALA LUMPUR

KORAT bids farewell to the 13th ASEAN Para Games Thailand 2025 in a glittering ceremony officially closed by Sports Minister Attakorn Sirilatthayakorn at the 80th Birthday Anniversary Stadium here.

Thailand were officially crowned overall champions of the Korat Games as the curtain came down on the regional multi-sport event in a vibrant closing ceremony filled with music, colour and celebration at the stadium tonight.

The hosts topped the final medal table with 175 gold, 155 silver and 158 bronze medals, reclaiming the overall title for the first time since 2015 and securing their seventh ASEAN Para Games crown. Thailand’s triumph ended Indonesia’s three-edition reign as champions and halted their bid for a fourth consecutive overall title.

Indonesia finished second with 135 gold, 144 silver and 114 bronze medals, while Malaysia placed third with 64 gold medals, an improved showing that underlined their growing stature ahead of hosting the next Games.

As fireworks lit up the Korat skyline, athletes and officials reflected on a Games that delivered high-quality competition and rising regional depth.

In total, 1,473 medals were awarded across 19 sports, with para athletics and swimming
once again forming the backbone of medal success for leading nations.

The closing ceremony marked not only the end of competition but also the symbolic handover to Malaysia, which will host the 14th ASEAN Para Games in October 2027, with 18 sports expected to be contested.

As the ASEAN Para Games flag was lowered in Nakhon Ratchasima and raised for the next host nation, the focus shifted from celebration to preparation — and the next chapter in the region’s para sports journey.

It was also the first time since 2015 that Thailand is back as the overall champion. Indonesia had won in the previous three editions in 2017, 2022, 2023.

Thailand Minister of Tourism and Sports Attakorn Sirilatthayakorn proclaimed the Games, followed by the customary handing over Games flag to the next host.

Malaysian Minister of Sports Malaysia Dr Mohammad Taufiq Johari received the flag from the ASEAN Para Sports Federation (APSF) President Maj Gen Osoth Bhavilai, signalling the formal acceptance as host of the 14th ASEAN Para Games.

Minister Attakorn, in his speech, thanked all 11 contingents for their participation in the Korat Games, proof of the strong bond and solidarity amongst ASEAN member nations.

Maj Gen Osoth meanwhile, praised Thailand and Nakhon Ratchasima for its overall performance which saw the contingent winning the overall title for the seventh time in the history of the Games. “Congratulations Thailand! For the past week, we have witnessed an exciting show of courage and great determination. To athletes, you are all winners!” he said.

Korat 2025 sets new heights for 13th ASEAN Para Games, says APSF

The ASEAN Para Sports Federation (APSF) has described the 13th ASEAN Para Games Thailand 2025 as a landmark edition that has set new benchmarks for scale, competitiveness and regional impact, as the Games approach their Closing Ceremony.

Speaking at a pre-closing press conference at the Games Main Press Centre (MPC), APSF President Major General Osoth Bhavilai said, the Korat Games represented a significant milestone in the development of para sport across Southeast Asia.

“These Games mark not only a successful return of the ASEAN Para Games to Thailand after 18 years, but also a strong reaffirmation of the resilience, growth and maturity of para sport in the ASEAN region,” Bhavilai said.

Korat 2025 has been the largest edition of the ASEAN Para Games to date, featuring highest number of 19 sports, highest number of athletes and officials and a total of 1,472 medals - 496 gold, 482 silver and 494 bronze medals – contested across venues in and around the northeastern Thai city.

“We have witnessed outstanding performances, new talents and experienced champions inspiring the next generation. Importantly, we have also seen increased competitiveness across multiple sports,” Bhavilai said.

From an organisational perspective, APSF said the Games were delivered in a safe, structured and athlete-centred manner, crediting close cooperation between APSF, the host nation and the Local Organising Committeee (THASOC).

Maj Gen Bhavilai also expressed appreciation to the Royal Thai Government, the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Sports Authority of Thailand, the National Paralympic Committee of Thailand, the Thailand ASEAN Para Games Organising Committee (THASOC), as well as volunteers, officials and the media.

APSF Secretary General Major General Dr Wandee Tosuwan meanwhile, said competitions across all 19 sports were conducted in line with APSF regulations and international federation standards.

“All competitions were delivered through strong coordination between technical delegates, officials and organisers, ensuring fairness, athlete safety and the integrity of competition,” she said, adding that key operational areas such as including classification, officiating,

medical services, safeguarding and anti-doping were implemented throughout the Games. A total of 709 athletes underwent classification during the event.

Maj Gen Dr Wandee added that Korat 2025 also served as an important platform for regional capacity building. “These Games have brought together officials, classifiers, coaches and administrators from across ASEAN, allowing valuable exchange of knowledge and strengthening the foundation of para sport development in the region,” she said.

The Games saw significant steps forward in broadcast and digital coverage, with 15 sports on daily live broadcast, with broadcast signals transmitted directly from Korat to the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) located in Bangkok, before being picked up by several more than 12 broadcasters across Southeast Asia.

The expanded coverage had helped amplify the stories of para athletes and increased public awareness of para sport across the region, she said.

During the Games, APSF convened meetings of its Executive Committee and Board of Governors, with the Board commending THASOC for the overall delivery of the Games. “Malaysia, the next host nation, also had presented its preliminary plans for the 14th ASEAN Para Games Kuala Lumpur 2027, proposing 18 sports, subject to further review,” she said.

The 13th ASEAN Para Games Thailand 2025 conclude on Sunday, January 26, following a week of competition that organisers say has strengthened regional unity and elevated the profile of para sport in ASEAN.

Thailand Reclaims ASEAN Para Games Crown

NAKHON RATCHASIMA, Jan 25 — Thailand ended a decade-long wait and reclaimed the ASEAN Para Games overall crown in emphatic fashion on home soil, bringing the 2025 ASEAN Para Games to a thrilling close and halting Indonesia’s march towards a fourth consecutive title.

Roared on by partisan crowds in Korat, the hosts delivered a powerful final-day surge, clinching 33 gold medals to seal the overall title with 175 gold, 155 silver and 158 bronze medals, marking Thailand’s seventh ASEAN Para Games crown and their first since the 2015 edition in Singapore.

In doing so, Thailand wrested the title from Indonesia, who had dominated the last three editions since Kuala Lumpur 2017 and most recently Solo 2022, firmly reasserting themselves as a regional para-sport powerhouse.

Thailand’s gold-medal haul was built on sustained excellence across core disciplines, with major contributions coming from para athletics, para swimming, para fencing, para table tennis and shooting para sport.

The hosts saved one of their most dramatic moments for last, as the cerebral palsy (CP) football team edged Myanmar 1–0 in a tense final to deliver Thailand’s final gold medal of the Games.

Indonesia, while falling short of their fourth straight overall title, still delivered a commanding performance to finish second overall with 135 gold, 144 silver and 114 bronze medals, comfortably surpassing their pre-Games target of 82 golds.

Indonesia’s medal strength once again came from athletics, swimming and powerlifting, despite the absence of several staple sports and challenging classification mergers.

Malaysia enjoyed one of their strongest Games performances, finishing third overall with 64 gold, 64 silver and 73 bronze medals, surpassing their medal target and underlining their upward trajectory ahead of hosting the next Games. The Malaysian contingent’s improved standing bodes well for Kuala Lumpur 2027, where 18 sports are expected to be contested.

The Philippines placed fourth with 45 gold medals, while Vietnam, third overall in the previous edition, slipped to fifth with 38 gold medals. Myanmar, Singapore, Timor-Leste, Laos and Brunei also celebrated podium breakthroughs, highlighting the widening competitive spread across the region.

In total, 1,473 medals were awarded across 10 participating nations, reflecting the expanded scale and increasing competitiveness of para sport in Southeast Asia. Para athletics and para swimming once again accounted for the largest share of gold medals, continuing a trend seen across recent editions of the Games.

While Thailand reasserted themselves as a regional powerhouse, several nations, including Timor-Leste and Laos ,recorded improved medal returns compared to previous Games.

The ASEAN Para Games flame now passes to Malaysia, with the next edition scheduled for October 2027, promising another landmark chapter for para sport in the region.
