The 33rd Southeast Asian Games, taking place in Bangkok and Chonburi, Thailand, have produced a dynamic and competitive medal race as the multi-sport event unfolds through mid-December.

Hosts Thailand sit at the top of the medal table with a commanding total, reflecting a series of strong performances across a broad range of disciplines that include traditional favourites and emerging events.

Thailand’s athletes have excelled across multiple sports, contributing to a substantial haul of gold, silver and bronze medals that keep them well ahead of their regional rivals.

Vietnam and Indonesia have also shown solid form in the standings.

Vietnam has amassed a significant mix of top-tier victories, consolidating its position as a leading contender, while Indonesia’s athletes have delivered consistent results across individual and team events.

Singapore and the Philippines are also prominent in the mid-table rankings, with each nation securing a balanced distribution of medals that underscores their competitiveness across a diverse array of competitions.

Malaysia, Myanmar, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Brunei Darussalam and the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste have likewise contributed to the overall tally, highlighting the inclusive spirit and athletic depth of the Games.

As the event progresses toward its scheduled conclusion on December twentieth, participating nations continue to battle for podium finishes in events spanning from athletics to combat sports and traditional regional disciplines.

Cambodia, which had sent a delegation to the opening ceremony, withdrew its team from the competition on December tenth, citing safety concerns linked to an ongoing border conflict with the host country.

The withdrawal came amid regional tensions and has affected Cambodia’s presence in the medal standings.

Nonetheless, the competition among the remaining nations has remained vibrant, with athletes and supporters alike embracing the unifying spirit of this annual showcase of Southeast Asian sporting excellence.

As of the latest published tally, Thailand leads with a dominant medal count, followed by Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.

Malaysia and other participating states round out the rankings, illustrating both the diversity of talent and the regional rivalries that make the SEA Games a pivotal fixture in the Southeast Asian sporting calendar.

The ongoing event continues to captivate audiences across the region, reflecting not only athletic achievement but also international engagement and cultural celebration among the member nations.
