Last time it was in December ,whether a bit cooler ,and they shut all the schools for 2 weeks ,stating less traffic on the roads ,getting in the way of the games traffic .

Will they build a new stadium? or use the old one built in 2007 ,at Ragsit ,now used by Tamasat University.

I believe it moves depending on the climate of the host country. Generally between September and December. 

 

I doubt they'd build a new stadium for it. Plenty of venues. Rajamangala was built for the 1998 Asian Games and can seat 70,000 so that should do for all track and field events. 

 

Lots of decent football stadiums now too. Not sure about swimming venues?

Pointless for racists, pretty important since 1951 for Asians.

With the political instability at the moment I wouldn't bet on it.
