Buriram, known as a "Sports City," boasts famous sports venues that are major landmarks for visitors. These include the Chang Arena, the home stadium of the Buriram United "Thunder Castle" team, and the Chang International Circuit, a world-class racetrack that hosts MotoGP events.
For this important "Breath of the Land" event, famous footballers from Buriram United will participate. These include "Arm" Supachai Jaided, the talented striker for both Buriram United and the Thai national team, along with teammates Sasalak Haiprakhon, Seksan Ratree, Arthit Stephen Burke, Pongsakorn Hanrattana, and Rattanakorn Maikami.
Additionally, two renowned racers, "Chip" Nakarin Atiratphuvapat, a former Moto3 rider from Honda Racing Thailand, and "Tee" Anupab Sarmoon, a World Supersport rider from Yamaha Thailand Racing Team, will join the activities.
The grand musical performance to honour the King will narrate His Majesty's royal duties, showcasing various activities he has undertaken for the Thai people, creating sustainable happiness for the nation.
"Arm" Supachai Jaided shared that this is the first time he and his fellow players, six in total, have had the opportunity to participate in a musical honouring the King.
The club's stands will be beautifully wrapped in white to create a giant screen for 3D mapping projections during the performance. Over 200 performers and musicians from Buriram will participate, accompanied by a large orchestra with more than 120 instruments.
The show will highlight Buriram's tourist attractions and local specialities, such as Phanom Rung Historical Park, standing meatballs, and fermented shrimp paste.
The performance will impressively weave together stories of significant royal duties. With strong performances, dedicated young actors, committed staff, and spectacular lights and sounds, the show promises to be a grand spectacle befitting Buriram's reputation for world-class events.
