Chatchu-on Moksri Returns to Thailand Women’s Volleyball Squad for SEA V League
Star outside hitter Chatchu-on Moksri has rejoined the Thai national team for the second leg of the 2026 SEA V League in Chiang Mai following a six-month injury layoff.
According to Khaosod Online, Thailand’s national women’s volleyball team head coach, Kiattipong Radchatagriengkai, has confirmed the return of star outside hitter Chatchu-on Moksri, known as 'Bumbim,' to the roster. She will compete in the second leg of the 2026 SEA V League, scheduled to take place in Chiang Mai from August 7 to 9, 2026.
Chatchu-on had been sidelined for nearly six months due to an injury. Coach Kiattipong stated that her inclusion is intended to bolster the team's overall performance and depth as they prepare for the upcoming Asian Championship. On August 6, the team held their final training session at the 700th Anniversary Chiang Mai Sports Complex, the official venue for the tournament, ahead of their opening match against the Philippines.
For residents and visitors in Chiang Mai, this tournament represents a significant sporting event, drawing fans to the local stadium. The return of a key player like Chatchu-on is expected to increase local interest and attendance. While her return to the court is confirmed for this leg of the competition, the long-term impact of her recovery on her performance levels throughout the remainder of the season remains to be seen as the team continues its preparations for the Asian Championship.
