After budget cuts of 40% for two years, state body says it needs to earn revenue
The SAT has drawn up business plans for some of its key facilities including 700th Anniversary of Chiang Mai Stadium.
The Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) has defended the necessity of renting out of sports stadiums as its annual budget has been cut by 40% for two consecutive years.
SAT governor Kongsak Yodmanee on Friday hit back at criticism of the state agency for allowing private organisations to rent national sports stadiums for events. He said it needed to find a source of revenue after 40% of its annual budget was transferred to public health because of the additional costs of managing the Covid-19 pandemic.
