The emblem of the ASEAN Para Games

The emblem of the ASEAN Para Games is inspired by Chumpol Gate, a historical place in Nakorn Ratchasima, Thailand. Chumpol Gate represents victory. It also denotes the exquisite Thai art and culture. Curvy blue and red lines represent the pageantry of fluttering flags leading eager, excited athletes marching into the stadium. The ASEAN Para Sports Federation logo sits in the center of the emblem, representing friendship and cooperation between participants from ASEAN countries.

Nok-Kao Karom, mascot of the 4th ASEAN Para Games, is a type of dove known locally as nok khao karom, recognized as a symbol of Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Karom is wise, cheerful, gentle, and friendly, reflecting the characteristics of Thai people. K stands for kind, A appreciation, R reliable, O optimistic, and M manners.
