Special Olympics Thailand is most honored that Khun Abhisit Vejjajiva has accepted the role of our Celebrity Ambassador.
"As a strong believer in the power of sports to bring people together and create a more inclusive society, I shall do my best to raise awareness of the organization's [Special Olympics Thailand's] important work and to promote acceptance and inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities. I look forward to working with the Special Olympics Thailand team to make a difference in the lives of athletes with intellectual disabilities in Thailand."
Abhisit Vejjajiva was Thailand's 27th Prime Minister between 2008 - 2011. During his premiership, he promoted and supported Special Olympics Thailand's work, recognising our athletes' abilities by presiding over the Opening of SO Thailand's 2010 National Games and inviting the Thailand National Delegation for a grand send-off to the 2011 S.O World Summer Games Athens, in which Thai athletes won 9 Golds, 12 Silvers and 5 bronzes.
