The ceremony began with a moment of silence in remembrance of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother, before the ceremonial flame representing all 11 participating nations was brought forth. The lantern was then used to light the official torch, weighing 1.2 kilograms and measuring 75 centimeters in length, which was handed to the first torchbearer to set off on this historic route.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Along the route, volunteers from the \u201cCP Volunteers\u201d network helped clean and collect waste in support of the \u201cGreen SEA Games\u201d initiative, in line with CP Group\u2019s \u201cZero Waste\u201d policy. At the end of the event, the sacred flame from Bangkok, Chonburi and Songkhla was enshrined at the Sports Authority of Thailand\u2019s 7th<\/sup> Cycle Birthday Anniversary Building, where it will be preserved for the SEA Games Opening Ceremony. The flame from Nakhon Ratchasima was placed at the Provincial Hall, in preparation for the ASEAN Para Games Opening Ceremony.<\/p>\n
