The anticipation for the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand is growing! A recent survey by Suan Dusit Poll shows that the population's enthusiasm for the upcoming sporting event is increasing rapidly. Between November 11th and 14th, 2025, 1,281 people were surveyed in Thailand. An impressive result: 82.67% know that Thailand is hosting the games. It is therefore clear that the SEA Games not only offer sporting highlights, but could also provide an economic boost for the country.
The survey also reveals that 68.85% of respondents believe the event will bring positive impacts to tourism and the economy. When asked about the sports in which Thailand has the best chance of winning a medal, athletics (22.25%) and Muay Thai (12.18%) are highly ranked. Dr. Pornpan Buathong, president of Suan Dusit Poll, underlined the high expectations of the population. The SEA Games are seen as an economic tool, not just a sporting event.
Economic impacts and challenges

The focus is on crucial factors such as public perception, which is viewed as social capital for the tourism industry. 66.98% of respondents want the government to make security and order a top priority.

- Sicherheit und Hygiene als entscheidende Faktoren für den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg
- Nutzen von Soft Power durch „Mhon Thong“-Fieber und Muay Thai zur Förderung des nachhaltigen Sporttourismus
Governments are therefore faced with the challenge of both ensuring functioning security management and using the soft power of sports to create a sustainable economic legacy. In particular, enthusiasm for football has mobilized interest in the SEA Games; 35.83% of respondents said they were interested in this sport.
But what is this “Mhon Thong” fever all about? The answer to that is simple: it's people's enormous anticipation and passion for football, which is also reflected in the survey.
Not only in sports, but also in other areas of life, people are enthusiastic about health and wellness. It's a good thing that there are a variety of products, such as warm and cold compresses, that can make everyday life easier. An online platform that specializes in such products offers various options to help you relax after a hard day or treat injuries. This shows how interest in sporting activities also drives demand for supporting products.
Ultimately, the anticipation of the SEA Games connects many facets of life in Thailand. People are excited to see how the event will impact their country, not only sportingly but also economically, and are hoping for an exciting event.
