History

edit

The forerunner of the NOCT was the "International Relations Committee for Sports" which was set up in 1946, originally a society for expatriates living in Thailand to participate in sports, and raise money through ticket sales for public sports participation and the Thai Red Cross Society.

The Committee decided to create an official Olympic organization to help develop good relations with other nations via sport, and the NOCT was officially formed on June 20, 1948, and subsequently recognized by the International Olympic Committee at the IOC meeting in Copenhagen on May 15, 1950.[1] His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) granted a Royal Patronage to the NOCT on December 26, 1949, as well as the official Symbol of the Olympic Committee of Thailand on January 8, 1951.[1]
