The Thai Olympic Committee planned the event to coincide with the commemoration of 80th birthday of [[King of Thailand|King]] [[Bhumibol Adulyadej]]. Officials studied the possibility of doing the events in multiple venues like what was done in [[2003 Southeast Asian Games|Vietnam]] and the [[2005 Southeast Asian Games|Philippines]]. It was the sixth time Thailand has hosted the SEA Games. Thailand had hosted the 1959 (inaugural games), 1967, 1975, 1985 and 1995 [[SEA Games]]. The 2007 games were to be hosted in [[Singapore]], but the city-state gave up the chance in [[2004]] as the [[National Stadium, Singapore|National Stadium]] was slated for demolition in around that time to build the [[Singapore Sports Hub]]. Aside from Nakhon Ratchasima, events were held at [[Bangkok]]<ref>[http://www.2007seagames.com/MAPBangkok/tabid/282/Default.aspx Bangkok competitions map]</ref> and at [[Chonburi (city)|Chonburi]].<ref>[http://www.2007seagames.com/MAPChonburi/tabid/283/Default.aspx Chonburi competitions map]</ref> ==Preparations== On [[February 24]], [[2006]], northeast Thailand's [[Nakhon Ratchasima Province]] authorities met to discuss the 2007 SEA Games schedule, and progress on the province's under-construction US$65 million sports complex. Presided over by governor Somboon Ngamlak, the meeting provided an overview of facilities, and ended with reassurances that facilities would be ready for SEA Games in 2007. ==Medal summary== {{col-begin}} {{col-2}} {| {{Sports result table}} !Rank||Country||align="center" bgcolor="gold"|Gold||align="center" bgcolor="silver"|Silver||align="center" bgcolor="CC9966"|Bronze||Total||width=10px rowspan=12| ||Gold medal target |-bgcolor=ccccff |- bgcolor=ccccff |1||{{flagicon|Thailand}} [[Thailand at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Thailand]] |181||124||103||408||220-260<ref>[http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/specialreport/news/316217_52/1/.html SEA Games: Thailand looks to consolidate medals lead]</ref> |- |2||{{flagicon|Malaysia}} [[Malaysia at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Malaysia]] |68||52||96||216||66<ref>[http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/specialreport/news/316210_52/1/.html SEA Games: Malaysia hopes to bag 64 gold medals]</ref> |- |3||{{flagicon|Vietnam}} [[Vietnam at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Vietnam]] |64||58||82||204||70-80<ref>[http://english.vietnamnet.vn/sports/2007/12/758831/ Vietnam remains second at SEA Games]</ref> |- |4||{{flagicon|Indonesia}} [[Indonesia at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Indonesia]] |56||64||82||202||65<ref>[http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/specialreport/news/315666_52/1/.html SEA Games: Indonesia set modest target of 65 gold medals]</ref> |- |5||{{flagicon|Singapore}} [[Singapore at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Singapore]] |43||43||41||127||35-45<ref>[http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/specialreport/news/315905_52/1/.html SEA Games: Team Singapore targeting 35 to 45 gold medals]</ref> |- |6||{{flagicon|Philippines}} [[Philippines at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Philippines]] |42||90||96||228||60-70<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/12/05/sports/AS-SPT-SEA-Games.php Thailand set to extend host domination at Southeast Asian Games]</ref> |- |7||{{flagicon|Myanmar}} [[Myanmar at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Myanmar]] |14||26||48||88 |- |8||{{flagicon|Laos}} [[Laos at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Laos]] |5||7||32||44 |- |9||{{flagicon|Cambodia}} [[Cambodia at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Cambodia]] |2||5||11||18 |- |10||{{flagicon|Brunei}} [[Brunei Darussalam at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Brunei Darussalam]] |1||1||4||6|| |- |11||{{flagicon|East Timor}} [[Timor Leste at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games|Timor Leste]] |0||0||0||0|| |} ==Venues== [[Image:2007 sea games mascot.png|140px|thumb|Nong Can, a Siamese cat is the official mascot of the games.]] Most of the games will be held in the $65 million sports complex on Pakthongchai Road in Nakhon Ratchasima. <ref>[http://www.thekoratpost.com/mainpage.html Organizing committee reports sports stadium ready for the Games]</ref> The sports complex holds the 20,000-seater [[His Majesty the King's 80th Birthday Anniversary, 5th December 2007 Sports Complex]].
