History
editIn 1981, the executive committee of the Thai Sports Association under the Royal Patronage (TSA) passed a resolution to establish the sepaktakraw registered association under the title, “The Takraw Association of Thailand”, aiming to manage the domestic sepaktakraw-related activities. The association was granted an official license of the establishment on 17 April 1983, according to license number No. ต. 204/2526, request number 204/2526, with the former secretary of the TSA, Decha Kulbutr, as the first president, and Nopchai Wutthikamonchai as the secretary of the association.[3]
Later on 20 August 1983, during the annual general meeting of the association, Kulbutr relinquished the position due to health problems, which caused Charouck Arirachakarran, the current president, to be elected to the said position.[3]
