After more than two hours of flying from Hanoi , the Vietnamese sports delegation landed safely at Suvarnabhumi International Airport (Bangkok, Thailand), officially starting their journey to participate in the 33rd SEA Games.
As soon as the plane landed, the delegation quickly moved to the priority lane arranged by the organizers specifically for sports delegations.
Immigration procedures were carried out smoothly, along with the activation of the SEA Games card - an important document to access the competition, training and accommodation areas. The reception work was carried out smoothly by the host side, creating conditions for the Vietnamese delegation to quickly settle down.
It can be seen that the atmosphere of excitement and eagerness was evident on the faces of the athletes and coaches from the very first minutes of arriving in Bangkok.
Mr. Nguyen Hong Minh - Deputy Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Training, and Head of the Vietnamese sports delegation at the 33rd SEA Games - shared: "Up to this point, all teams are ready to compete in the 33rd SEA Games, and are trying to complete the goals set before departure."

"Our goal is to strive to win 90-100 gold medals, and to be in the top of the participating countries. The athletes are very determined, but we still have to wait for their opponents. I hope that with their will and desire, they will achieve their goals," Mr. Minh added.
Canoeist Nguyen Thi Huong said: "We have prepared very carefully to be ready to fight with all our might. I will compete in two events: canoeing and traditional rowing, and will try to achieve the highest results. Specifically, I want to win 2-3 gold medals."
According to the schedule, the flag-raising ceremony of the Vietnamese sports delegation in Bangkok will take place on the afternoon of December 8 at Hua Mak Stadium. For the force stationed in Chonburi, the second flag-raising ceremony is scheduled to be held on December 11 at Wyndham Jomtien.
The 33rd SEA Games is considered an important event for Vietnamese sports. With a force of more than 1,100 members, including 842 athletes, the Vietnamese sports delegation aims to compete impressively in 47/66 sports and 443 sets of medals.
