The National Sports Development Fund, directed by General Suphmanit Parbpob, visited Chachoengsao and Rayong provinces to monitor training for three Thai sports teams preparing for the Asian Games. General Suphmanit Parbpob, fund director and chair of the project oversight committee, accompanied by General Somkwer Tongnark and General Worchati Fongchol, visited the two provinces to assess readiness and encourage the athletes in beach volleyball, men's division, rowing, and windsurfing ahead of the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan.

The delegation first visited Satahib District in Chachoengsao to monitor the men's beach volleyball team at R1 Life Fitness Center, where they reviewed training plans, fitness development, athlete allowances, and support factors. They then traveled to the Royal Thai Navy Rowing Training Center in Rayong, where the rowing team reported approximately 90 percent readiness and plans to train in China before the Games. The visit concluded at Jomtien Water Service Center in Chachoengsao, where the windsurfing team—consisting of four athletes with two youth and two open division competitors—was preparing, including experienced athlete Siriporn Kaeodungnuam.

General Suphmanit stated that the field visit aimed to assess athlete readiness, hear concerns from sports associations and staff directly regarding training, allowances, welfare, equipment, and health care, and provide targeted support. He thanked athletes and personnel for their dedication and encouraged them to maintain health, prevent injury, and follow their coaches' plans to compete at full capacity in the Asian Games. The fund will continue close monitoring to ensure appropriate and effective support for athletes and sports associations.
