The Badminton Association of Thailand has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Czech Badminton Federation to develop badminton in all aspects.
Khunying Patama Leeswadtrakul, president of the Badminton Association of Thailand, signed the MoU with Petr Martinec, president of the Czech Badminton Federation, on Wednesday at Arnoma Grand Hotel in Bangkok.
