Thailand won two golds, one silver and one bronze medal at the Asian Men's Bodybuilding Championships and Asian Men's Body Classic in Iran.
The gold medals were won by Somkid Sumethowejjakul in the 65kg bodybuiding competition and Jirapan Pongkham in the 165cm body classic contest.
Sawaeng Panapoey finished second in the 80kg bodybuilding competition and Kittipong Jansuwan won bronze in the 170cm body classic competition.
Pakpong Kriangsak, president of the Thailand Bodybuilding and Physique Sports Association, said it was a huge success for the Thai team after Sitthi Charoenrith, the country's most successful bodybuilder, retired.
He said this was the first tournament of the year and the Thai athletes would train harder for more success.
"We want to bring happiness to Thai fans," Pakpong said.
