Jujitsu secured the third gold medal for the Thai athletes at the 2025 SEA Games, following taekwondo.
On 10 December 2025, the 2025 SEA Games competition, held from 9 to 20 December with Thailand as host, proceeded after the official opening ceremony at Rajamangala National Stadium.
After "Nano" Watcharakul Limjitrakorn, a Thai national team representative, won the first gold medal for Thailand in taekwondo poomsae, women's individual freestyle category, and "Best" Methasit Boonsane, a Thai national cyclist, finished first with a time of 2.37 minutes in the mountain bike downhill event.
Most recently, "Nat" Kulsatree Kamsroi and "Som" Supawadee Kaewsasan, seven-time world champion jujitsu athletes from Thailand in the women's show category, delivered an outstanding performance scoring 51 points to win the first gold medal for Thai jujitsu at this SEA Games and the third gold for the Thai team overall. The silver medal went to Panyaporn Paopun and Kanyarath Paopun with 48.5 points, while the bronze medals were claimed by Laos and Vietnam.
This marked the second gold medal for the pair in the SEA Games, following their success at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia.
Associate Professor Dr. Chanchai Suksuwan, President of the Jujitsu Association of Thailand, said, “This was an expected medal and our pair are world champions. We are happy to have won gold. We weren’t focused on winning the first gold but wanted to make Thai people happy. We have been preparing intensively over the past three years. Our goal this time is to win 10 out of the 18 gold medals contested.”
“Nat” shared, “The two of us are Air Force personnel. I’m thankful for the opportunity to compete. We have trained continuously and are happy to win the first gold medal for jujitsu in this association.”
“Som” said, “I’m happy too that we earned the first gold medal for the association and that this is my second SEA Games championship.”
When asked about their future plans, as both have helped the association and served as officials, Nat said, “I plan to retire next year since I am 31 years old and might start a family.”
“Som” replied, “I’m still ready and able to continue competing (laughs).”
