Thai Celebrity Fulfills Vow After National Volleyball Team’s Historic Olympic Qualification

Following the Thailand women's national volleyball team's historic victory at the 2026 Asian Volleyball Championship, which secured their first-ever qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, actor and volleyball player Rusameekae Fakuea-lon has fulfilled a significant personal vow. According to Khaosod Online, Rusameekae completed a 100-lap run around the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) at the Grand Palace, covering a total distance of over 200 kilometers.

Rusameekae explained that the vow was made during the tournament, prompted by a suggestion from former national player Nootsara Tomkom during the match against Kazakhstan. The actor emphasized the sacred nature of the site and expressed deep respect for the Emerald Buddha. Beyond this athletic feat, Rusameekae also addressed recent legal actions taken against individuals who attacked the actor online for defending national athletes, confirming that legal documents have been signed to pursue these cases.

For residents and travelers, this event highlights the immense national pride surrounding the women's volleyball team's Olympic milestone. While the celebration of this sporting achievement is widespread, the legal proceedings regarding online harassment remain an ongoing matter. Observers should note that while the vow has been fulfilled, the specific identities of those being sued by the actor have not been publicly disclosed.
