THAILAND

Thailand have competed at the Asian Games ever since the inaugural edition in New Delhi in 1951.

They have also hosted the quadrennial event more than any other country, having done so in Bangkok on four occasions in 1966, 1970, 1978 and 1998.

Their best performance arrived in 1998 when the nation claimed 24 gold, 28 silver and 38 bronze medals to rank third.

Thailand's first-ever Asian Games gold came in cycling with Tarwon Jirapan winning the road race at Jakarta 1962 - the same edition where boxer Samphan Payonrathana claimed featherweight gold.

At Hangzhou 2022, Thailand finished 8th with 12 gold, 14 silver and 32 bronze medals.
