The former setter passed away at 88.<\/p>\n<p>Chamrus was a great setter who steered the Thailand team to the men\u2019s volleyball gold medal at the inaugural South East Asian Peninsular (SEAP) Games, known currently as SEA Games, in 1959 on home soil in Bangkok and silver medal at the following edition two years later in Yangon, Myanmar (previously called Burma). At that time, nine players had been allowed for competition.<\/p>\n<p>He also took part in the Asian Games twice including the 4th Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1962 when Chamrus led the Thailand squad to the 8th-place finish.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from playing in the position of setter, the main contributor to the offence of the volleyball team, Chamrus also played a key role as a former head coach of the Thailand men\u2019s national team for the 4th SEAP Games in Bangkok in 1967.<\/p>\n<p>Following the passing of Chamrus, former wing spiker Sornchai Noothes became the only player in the first ever Thailand men\u2019s national team who is still alive.<\/p>\n<p>The Thailand Volleyball Association will perform funeral rites for the deceased on Saturday, March 13, while cremation ceremony is due to be held the following day.<\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC<br \/>\nAVC Website: click www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: click www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: click: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: click: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangkok, Thailand, March 12, 2021 &#8211; Thailand Volleyball Family is mourning the death of Chamrus Timpradab, who played for the first ever Thailand men\u2019s national team in history.
