His Majesty the King's 80th Birthday Anniversary, 5 December 2007, Sports Complex (Thai: ศูนย์กีฬาเฉลิมพระเกียรติ 80 พรรษา 5 ธันวา 2550), also known as the Nakhon Ratchasima Sports Complex,[1][2] is a multi-use sports facility in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, that was built for the 2007 Southeast Asian Games which coincided with the 80th birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, hence the name of the venue.
Completed on 2 July 2007 at a cost of US$65 million,[citation needed] the complex includes tennis courts, swimming pools, two indoor arenas (the Korat Chatchai Hall, used for volleyball and the smaller Liptapanlop Hall, used for gymnastics), a velodrome, a gym, a football training pitch complete with floodlights and a small stand, an office block, ticket sales booths, large parking areas, a large lake (not designed for sporting purposes) and the 80th Birthday Stadium, used for athletics and football.
The athletes' village is not actually on the site, but is a kilometre further along Highway 304 by which the complex is situated.
Unlike many such developments, the complex has not become a "White Elephant" in the time since the SEA Games.
