Thai Para-Archer Proposes After Winning Gold at Asian Para Games

In a heartwarming moment at the Asian Para Games, Thai para-archer Khomsan 'Mai' Singphirom proposed to his girlfriend, Pannipa 'Ple' Sarathongmaew, who is also a member of the Thai national para-archery team. The proposal followed a promise Khomsan had made to his partner: that he would ask for her hand in marriage if he secured a gold medal at the games.

Khomsan fulfilled his promise after delivering a stellar performance in the men’s doubles compound archery event. Partnering with Teerasak 'Piak' Phiakratnee, the duo scored 150 points, narrowly defeating Indonesia’s Ken Swagumilang and Arif Firmansyah, who finished with 147 points. This victory marked the ninth gold medal for the Thai para-athlete delegation.

The news was shared by the official Facebook page of the Sports Association for the Disabled of Thailand (SPADT), highlighting the romantic gesture that has captured the attention of sports fans across the country. For residents and visitors, this event serves as a reminder of the dedication and personal milestones achieved by athletes representing Thailand on the international stage. While the couple has publicly celebrated their engagement, no further details regarding wedding plans or future competition schedules have been confirmed at this time.
