The Thai men's football team enjoyed a morale boosting victory in their last warm-up game ahead of the Asian Games when they routed Nepal 4-0 at Thammasat Stadium yesterday.
Thai coach Worrawoot Srimaka.
Supachai Jaidet in the 27th minute, Supachoke Sarachart (55th), Worawut Namwech (65th) and Thanasit Siriphala (77th) scored for Thailand.
Thailand coach Worrawoot Srimaka looked relieved after the victory, but added that he still had "lots of worries".
"Today is the first time that all the players gathered together and we were able to watch them both attack and defend in a game," said Worrawoot.
He added: "Nepal are in the same zone as our first-round opponents Bangladesh so this match gave us a good measure of the South Asian style of football."
Thailand have been drawn in Group B with Uzbekistan, Qatar and Bangladesh for the first round of the men's football tournament of the Asian Games, which is a U23 competition that allows each country to field three overage players.
The War Elephants, who depart for Indonesia tomorrow, suffered a couple of fresh blows as Thai-Swedish Kewin Deeromram and Poramet Arjwilai were forced to pulled out of the Asian Games squad.
Kewin is in Sweden to look after his ailing father, while Poramet is indisposed.
Worrawoot and his staff coaches were to meet last night to trim the squad down to 20.
He said: "The physical state of most of the players is not pretty good.
"They all look tired to say the least. Some of them have had to play six to seven games in a short time.
"We are quite worried about Suriya Singmui, who is still nursing an injury.
"We also haven't had much time to train together but I hope that these players will be able to execute the tactics well."
Worrawoot added that he expected tough games against Uzbekistan and Qatar, who are "likely to field the same teams as in the 2018 AFC Asian U23 Championship".
Uzbekistan won the Asian youth event in China, where Thailand exited in the first round in January.
"As far as I know Bangladesh have a Danish national in their team, but I have told the players that at this level, we should be ready to face all sort of challenges," said Worrawoot.
"We have to keep developing as best as we can and this is what I expect to see at the Asian Games.
"At this moment, our main target is to reach the last 16 knockout stage. What happens after that will be a different story."
Thailand will play their first Group B match of the Asian Games against Qatar on Aug 14.
Thailand have done well at the quadrennial Asian Games, finishing in fourth place four times with the latest one being at Incheon 2014 after losing to Iraq in the third-place play-off.
They also reached the semi-finals in 1990, 1998 and 2002.
