Organizer of Asian Games approaches the finish line

Article Abstract:

Santiparb Tejavanija is acknowledged by many as the one responsible for holding the Asian Games in Thailand in 1998.

As a tennis player, he also headed the quasidiplomatic mission of Thailand to China in the same year. Since 1986, he has served as the treasurer of the Olympic Council of Asia.
