Disputes erupted after Cambodia, the host of this year’s Games, requested 27.6 million THB (800,000 USD) from Thailand for the rights to broadcast the event, the highest fee ever charged for the competition.
The SEA Games 32 will take place in Cambodia from May 5 to 17. Thai national athletes hope to win at least 164 gold medals at the tournament and finish first in the medal standings./.
