Thai and foreign athletes finally got the chance to compete in 18 categories at the Muscle and Physique Championships in Pattaya.
Postponed from June to the coronavirus crisis, the Nov. 21-22 event at Royal Garden Plaza saw men compete in nine weight classes and women in three height brackets.
The competition included a handful of Thai national team athletes and a former world champion, all of whom were part of a team banned from the Tokyo Olympics and other major competitions because of repeated doping violations.
The top Master Male Bodybuilder (under age 45) prize went to Kongtit Woracharoenthanakul, who finished second last year. Three-time champ Khuntan Pungpetch was the runner-up with Yodchai Norkul third, Sudchai Ploypradub fourth and Kumpanart Plumewong fifth.
