This shocking information was published by Thailand's Khaosod newspaper , when they obtained a document showing that the Director General of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) - Mr. Kongsak Yodmanee signed a document to establish the Committee in charge of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 33rd SEA Games on December 2.

"This document was signed on December 2, just 7 days before the SEA Games opening ceremony," Khaosod reported. Although it did not comment further, this news made Thai sports fans feel frustrated about the country's preparations.

Also on December 4, Mr. Yodmanee had to answer to the media about a series of mistakes that the organizing committee made in recent days.

Significant errors include the incorrect national flags of many countries in the match schedule posted on the official website, failure to play the national anthem of the Vietnam - Laos match, damage to the lighting system at Rajamangala Stadium, and delays in issuing press passes to the media...

Not only fans from other countries, but also the Thai media expressed anger at a series of mistakes considered "disgraceful to the country" by the SEA Games Organizing Committee.

And in response to questions from reporters, Mr. Yodmanee explained: "We are having difficulty managing the budget. Thailand's SEA Games budget is lower than the previous SEA Games in Cambodia.

Furthermore, moving the venue from Songkhla, which was affected by the disaster, to Bangkok and Chonburi requires an additional budget of more than 160 million baht. In this situation, we cannot ask for central budget."

The difficulties Thailand has faced at the 33rd SEA Games are worthy of sympathy. However, their series of inexplicable errors in recent days are very difficult to excuse, typically the errors on the official website - which was launched many months ago.
