Singapore: As the 28th SEA Games drew to a close yesterday, Thailand remained the region's powerhouse with a table-topping total of 95 gold medals. 

It was the Kingdom's 13th overall title at the biennial event, with more than 700 Thai athletes having travelled to Singapore, although the gold tally was down on the total won in Myanmar two years ago. 

Thailand got off to a slow start at the 12-day event and only overtook the hosts for the overall lead on the eighth day of the tournament. 

With a total of 403 gold medals on offer, Thailand topped the medal table with 95 golds, 11 more than Singapore's tally. 

Held every two years since 1959, the SEA Games feature a rich mixture of sports, many that are on the Olympic programme but also a few that keep faith with the region's unique sporting interests.
