2025 Sea Games

The 2025 Sea Games, officially known as the 33rd Sea Games, and commonly called as Thailand 2025,  is an ongoing multinational multi-sport event sanctioned by the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF). The event is scheduled to take place from 9 to 20 December 2025 across the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, as well as Chonburi province in Thailand. The joint bid from the three provinces was awarded the Games on 13 January 2023, after Thailand was confirmed as the host country by the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF). This marks the first time that host cities were selected through a new bidding and election process for the SEA Games. The 2025 SEA Games marks the seventh time Thailand has hosted the event, with Bangkok having previously hosted 4 times (1959, 1967, 1975, and 1985) and will be one of the two host cities this time along Chonburi. The other two Thai cities who hosted the games are: Chiang Mai hosted the 1995 edition and Nakhon Ratchasima hosted the 2007 edition . The original co-host Songkhla province was planned to host some events, until floods caused by Cyclone Senyar struck shortly prior to the Games, which resulted in all events that were to be held in Songkhla to be relocated to venues in Bangkok and Chonburi. As per the traditions of the SEA Games, hosting duties are rotated among the member countries of the SEA Games Federation (SEAGF). Each member country is assigned a specific year to host the event, but they have the option to withdraw or opt out of hosting in that particular edition. When I looked into the 2025 Sea Games, I was so exhilarated, and hope the 2025 Sea Games are in success.................
