On November 15, 2025, Narong Ruangsri, Permanent Secretary of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), attended the ceremony to enshrine the Flame of Auspice into its lantern in preparation for the Torch Relay of the SEA GAMES / ASEAN PARA GAMES THAILAND 2025 on November 16, 2025.

The ceremony was presided over by Mrs. Prodpran Samanmit, Deputy Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand, at the Flame of Auspice Preservation Room, 1st Floor, Chalermphrakiat Building, Sports Authority of Thailand.

This ceremony was held to distribute the Flame of Auspice to lanterns in the four host provinces:

The Flame of Auspice

The Flame of Auspice is a Royal Flame first bestowed by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great in 1967 for national sporting events. It has since been used for:

• National Games
• Major domestic sporting events
• International competitions hosted by Thailand, such as the Asian Games and SEA Games

The flame symbolizes blessing, sacredness, glory, and success, and serves as inspiration and encouragement for athletes, officials, and organisers.
