The 1985 Southeast Asian Games, officially known as the 13th Southeast Asian Games was a Southeast Asian multi-sport event held in Bangkok, Thailand from 8 to 17 December 1985.
This was the fourth time Thailand hosted the games and its first time since 1975. Previously Thailand also hosted the 1959, 1967 and the 1975 editions when the Southeast Asian Games were known as the Southeast Asian Peninsular Games at those times. The games was opened and closed by Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand at the Suphachalasai Stadium.
The final medal tally was led by host Thailand, followed by Indonesia and the Philippines. Several Games and National records were broken during the games. With little or no controversies at all, the games were deemed generally successful with the rising standard of competition amongst the Southeast Asian nations.
The Bangkok SEA Games Organising Committee was formed to oversee the staging of the games.
The logo of the 1985 SEA Games is the Grand Palace, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand.
The official 1985 SEA Games mascot was a Siamese cat. The Siamese is one of the first distinctly recognised breeds of Oriental cat. It is called Wichien-maat (Thai: วิเชียรมาศ) in Thailand.
