_: The Prime Minister's Office, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), the Professional Boxing Association of Thailand, and the Boxing Committee, organized an OFOS training course on Muay Thai to international standards and the organization of a professional Muay Thai competition, "Thailand Women's Muay Thai Championship", at The Bazaar Hotel, Bangkok, from 25-26 October. The project was organized because the government has the One Family One Soft Power (OFOS) policy, which is a policy that promotes and drives Thai soft power around the world. As a government agency, the Sports Authority of Thailand must drive Muay Thai as a soft power, create added value with world-class standards for sustainable success, and push for the development of Muay Thai to be popular and have the same standards so that Muay Thai is accepted and widespread internationally. The policy on creating creative power or creating soft power of the country is an important guideline to elevate and develop the creative abilities of Thais to create value and generate income for the development of the country's competitiveness. Therefore, the idea is to bring Muay Thai competitions to the eyes of both Thai and foreign tourists, which will communicate Muay Thai to the eyes of the world community, leading to a sports industry that promotes tourism and economic value for the country. Therefore, it is determined to organize training and organize competitions according to the OFOS curriculum for Muay Thai athletes to meet international standards in order to respond to the government's policy to generate income and stimulate the country's economy. For the training, we were honored by "Chat Sai" Mr. Somchat Charoenwacharawit, President of the Professional Boxing Association of Thailand, who presided over the opening of the training for over 50 participants and presented certificates to those who received training. There were 3 main topics: 1. Boxing Sports Act 1999, Topic 2. Stimulants in athlete s and 3. Standards for organizing Thai boxing competitions. Mr. Somchat Charoenwachirawit, President of the Professional Boxing Association of Thailand, said that he would like to thank the government led by Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister, and Mr. Surawong Thienthong, Minister of Tourism and Sports, for promoting Muay Thai and giving importance to the boxing industry in all branches. He also cooperated with the government to make Muay Thai grow even more in terms of the Muay Thai industry both domestically and internationally. He is willing to help in all aspects so that Muay Thai becomes one. He expects that the training will create a Muay Thai sports industry and Muay Thai sports business that promotes income from organizing boxing events, creates added economic value in areas in various provinces where Muay Thai competitions are held, and creates domestic income related to the sports industry, domestic income from hotels, food and beverages, airline tickets, and recreational tourism, which wi ll create a good image for Thailand in terms of tourism and Thai culture through Muay Thai sports activities in various provinces, leading to the extension of soft power. At the same time, in terms of athlete development, there will be a competition stage that provides an opportunity for Muay Thai boxers to become truly professional athletes, including individuals in the Muay Thai sports industry having professional standards and stable income, resulting in the professional Muay Thai sports business becoming more popular and unified.
