On this auspicious occasion that Thailand has been given an honor by the International Pencak Silat
Federation to host the 16th World Pencak Silat Championship 2015 from 7-17 January 2015 in Phuket, Thailand,
I deem it is a great privilege for us all to show Thailands potential as a host of an international sporting event.
This would also be a good start for our youth athletes to take part in this significant competition where 47 member
countries will compete. I believe that the competition will also inspire Thai youth to take up sports more seriously and
this helps creating new generation of athletes.
Phuket, the Pearl of Andaman Sea, is very famous, not only for its splendid scenery but also its capacity
as a fantastic venue for a sports competition at both national and international levels. I believe that all the
participating countries will recieve a warm welcome and hospitality of the people of Phuket and gain memorable
experience from the competition.
I would like to express my deep appreciation to Pencak Silat Association of Thailand, the organizing
committee and all supported agents for the great dedication and effort they have put in for the achievement of the
event. May all the success come to the concerned people and good luck for all the athletes in the competition.
