Chatchu-on Moksri Returns to Thailand Squad for SEA V League in Chiang Mai
Star outside hitter Chatchu-on Moksri is set to rejoin the Thai national women's volleyball team for the second leg of the 2026 SEA V League in Chiang Mai.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, officials including Chiang Mai Governor Ratthaphon Naradison and Thailand Volleyball Association President Somporn Chaibangyang have officially announced the upcoming BYD DMI 6th SEA V League 2026. The second leg of the tournament is scheduled to take place from August 7 to August 9, 2026, at the 700th Anniversary Chiang Mai Sports Complex.
A significant highlight of the announcement is the return of star outside hitter Chatchu-on Moksri, affectionately known as "Bumbim," to the national roster. She had been sidelined due to an injury sustained during the 2026 Nations League. Her return is expected to bolster the team's performance as they compete on home soil.
For residents and visitors in Chiang Mai, this event offers an opportunity to witness high-level international volleyball. The tournament begins on August 7 with a match between Indonesia and Vietnam at 1:00 PM, followed by the Philippines facing their opponents at 4:30 PM. While the return of Chatchu-on is confirmed, fans may wish to monitor official team updates regarding her specific playing time and physical condition throughout the tournament. The event highlights Chiang Mai’s ongoing role as a hub for major regional sporting competitions.
