Thailand agree to pay for athletes from poor countries


BANGKOK: Hosts Thailand will foot the bill for three cash-strapped countries to send teams to this week's SEA Games, an official said yesterday. 

Games organisers agreed to cover the expenses of Laos, Cambodia and East Timor, which are among the world's poorest countries, after their hard-up Olympic committees asked for help.
