The Queen's Cup ended in Pathum Thani with Ekpharit Wu taking the title and Queen Suthida presenting the trophy in person at the closing ceremony of the Queen's Cup.
The Queen’s Cup closed in Pathum Thani with a royal presentation that gave the final day an added sense of ceremony. Ekpharit Wu emerged as the winner, and Her Majesty Queen Suthida personally handed him the trophy at the end of the Queen’s Cup.
A royal finish to the Queen’s Cup
The Queen’s Cup is a prestigious golf tournament, and this year’s closing moment drew particular attention because Queen Suthida was present in person. For Thai sport, that kind of appearance is widely seen as a major honour for the winner and a memorable finish for the event.
Ekpharit Wu delivered a strong performance on the course to secure the title. His victory concluded the Queen’s Cup in a way that was both competitive and ceremonial, with the trophy presentation becoming the defining image of the day.
Why Pathum Thani mattered
Pathum Thani lies just north of Bangkok, which makes it an easy reference point for travellers and sports fans looking beyond the capital. The province is known for world-class golf courses and regularly hosts international tournaments, giving it a place on Thailand’s sporting map.
That setting matters because a golf event like the Queen’s Cup is not only about the winner. It also reinforces Pathum Thani’s role as a destination where high-level sport and short-distance trips from Bangkok come together.
More than golf
Pathum Thani is not defined by golf alone. The province is also known for its temples and local riverside markets along the Menam, offering a different side of the region for visitors who want to look beyond the fairways.
In practical terms, that means a visit tied to the Queen’s Cup can be combined with a simple day out. A golf-focused stop in Pathum Thani can sit alongside temple visits and market browsing, making the province an accessible option for people seeking a broader view of central Thailand.
What this means for visitors
The Queen’s Cup did not change any travel rules or transport links, but it did underline the appeal of Pathum Thani as a place where sport, ceremony, and local culture intersect. For international visitors interested in golf, the province offers a useful reminder that some of Thailand’s most notable events happen just outside Bangkok.
