The 6th Asian Games (Thai: เอเชียนเกมส์ 2513) were held from 9 to 20 December 1970 in Bangkok, Thailand.[1] Seoul, South Korea, had been selected to host the 6th Games but it declined due to both financial reasons and security threats from neighboring North Korea (the city eventually hosted in 1986). The previous host, Thailand, stepped in to save the Asiad. 2,400 athletes from 18 countries competed in this Asiad, where yachting made its debut.
