Pongsakorn Paeyo poses with his 100m T53 gold medal on the podium.

Wheelchair racers Pongsakorn Paeyo and Athiwat Paeng-Nuea completed a golden double for Thailand at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo on Wednesday.

Boccia stars Watcharaphon Vongsa and Pornchok Larpyen got silver medals while the men's table tennis team also won bronze on the most successful day for the Thai contingent so far at Tokyo 2020 which ends on Sunday.

Pongsakorn claimed his second title of the Covid-delayed tournament after winning the 100m T53 wheelchair racing event with a new Paralympic record time of 14.20, breaking his own Games' record of 14.30 set earlier in the day.

The 24-year-old won silver in Rio Games five years ago.

Pongsakorn beat Lakatos to win Thailand's first gold medal in the 400m T53 event on Sunday.

He will get 14.4 million baht from the government for his two gold medals.

Under the National Sports Development Fund's bonus scheme for Paralympians, a champion will get 7.2 million baht, a silver winner 4.8 million baht, and a bronze medallist three million baht.
