Viewers smiled along as a traveling sepak takraw player was sprayed with medicine, but his eyes and smile clearly revealed more.
On 29 Jan 2026 GMT+7, the fan page Takraw Every Day released a viral clip captioned, “The eyes don’t lie — is this the magic of sepak takraw?” sparking widespread social media discussion.
The incident occurred during the Takraw Super Match One Man Show final between “Seaman Sanankoh” Yosnont Laemthisong from the Navy team and “Deedy Banbakham” Siwakhon Thakanha from the Port Authority of Thailand. During the game, Yosnont was injured and had to sit out on the sidelines, causing concern among fans.
However, the moment that turned pain into delight was when a charming female staff member quickly rushed to provide close care, spraying pain-relief spray immediately. Yosnont’s facial expressions and gaze at that moment attracted more attention from netizens than the match itself.
Fans and sepak takraw experts joked that the spray might not be ordinary pain medicine but a kind of “special magic oil” because it seemed to work surprisingly well. The pain vanished instantly, leaving only an unmistakable sly smile.
This cute and funny moment became a highlight of the competition and quickly went viral. Many joked it was “some kind of energy” healing better than any doctor because, at that instant, the pain seemed secondary.
