Rajamangala National Stadium, the biggest stadium in Thailand and the main stadium inside the Hua Mahk Sports Complex, which is administered by the Sports Authority of Thailand (fig.). It was built to celebrate the 5th Birthday Cycle, i.e. the 60th Anniversary, of King Bhumipon Adunyadet on 5 December 1987, as well as to mark the Longest Reign Celebrations for his Majesty's 42 years and 23 days on the Throne in July 1988, an event which in Thai is known as Phra Rajaphitthi Ratchamangala Phisek, from which the name of the stadium is derived and of which the royal logo is affixed on the stadium's facade. It officially opened in 1998, in time to host the 13th Asian Games.
