🇹🇭 Bhraebhim Pipatsawaddhi
Thailand's two-discipline talent: team gold on boat and cable at the 2025 SEA Games, plus a top-five finish at the 2025 World Games.
Bhraebhim Pipatsawaddhi is one of the few Thai riders with strong results in both boat and cable wakeboarding. The IWWF romanises her name this way, while Thai media have used spellings such as Praephim Phiphatsawat. As a junior she was second in U14 girls at two rounds of the 2022 Singha national series, at Phuket Wake Park and ESC Thai Wake Park, and sixth in U14 women at the IWWF Cable World Championships held at ESC that year.
2025 was a big step up. In June she took bronze in open women's wakeboard at the IWWF Asian Championships at Rabbit Lake, Bangkok, behind winner Shin Hyun Jeong of Korea, with team-mate Lalada Liew in fourth. In August she finished fifth in women's cable at The World Games on Sancha Lake in Chengdu, China, according to Wikipedia's results.
At the 2025 SEA Games she was part of two gold-winning Thai teams: the boat wakeboard mixed team, which scored 220 points at Rabbit Lake ahead of Indonesia and the Philippines, and the cable wakeboard mixed team at ESC Thai Wake Park, which Wikipedia reports finished ahead of Singapore and the Philippines. Both were team events rather than individual titles.
