Thai Airways International has offered support and sponsorship towards this world event for five consecutive years, in conjunction with the Jet Sports Boating Association of Thailand and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The weather and geological advantages of Thailand have made jet sport the all-season event, attracting large number of visitors to this country. This is why the King’s Cup Jet Sports National Championship in Thailand was ranked as one of the world’s best jet sport event. The players of Thai National Team selected for the World Finals this year were Mr. Jetrin Wattanasin, the winner of PRO RUNABOUT 785 SUPERSTOCK and EXPERT RUNABOUT 1200 SUPERSTOCK, Mr. Chaowalit Kuajaroon, the winner of PRO SPORT 785 SUPERSTOCK. Mr. Pichet Setthura and Mr. Chockuthit Moree have also been selected to take part at the Jet Sports World Finals 2000 at Lake Wahazu, U.S.A.

Mr. Jetrin Wattanasin was the Timed Slalom race winner at the 1999 Jet Sports World Finals, the fastest player in the world. He was ranked fourth in the EXPERT RUNABOUT 785 SUPERSTOCK world championship. Mr. Pichet Setthura was ranked 10th and 11th in the EXPERT RUNABOUT 1200 SUPERSTOCK and LIMITED, Mr. Chaowalit Kuajaroon was ranked 15th in the EXPERT SPORT 785 SUPERSTOCK. I am certain that this year the Thai players have a very good chance of being among the top ten.”
