Jet ski race team says sponsors owe 2 million baht

Jet ski racer Pichet Sethura and fellow national team members petition Tourism and Sports Committee Chairman, Rattanachai Sutidechanai for help in obtaining sponsorship money they feel they are due.

Pattaya-area jet ski racers complain they’ve not received nearly 2 million baht in sponsorship money promised them to cover training and other daily expenses.

National Jet Ski Team member Pichet Sethura led fellow racers to Pattaya City Hall Jan. 21 to file a petition for city assistance in getting the Thailand Jet Sports Boating Association to cough up the funds pledged in 2008.

Pichet maintained that his team’s efforts helped enhance Thailand’s image internationally. The jet skiers won four medals at the 2010 Asian Beach Games in Oman and, the year before, two gold medals at the same event in Bali.

While the TJSBA covered airfare and accommodations, the jet skiers contend the association had also pledged to cover daily expenses and practice, which cost them 600-1,000 baht per day.

Pinchet reckons the association now owes team members 2 million baht.

Pattaya City Council Tourism and Sports Committee Chairman Rattanachai Sutidechanai said he’d try to arrange a meeting between the TJSBA and the Sports Authority of Thailand to sort out the matter..
