Förberedelser
Val av arrangörsort
Vid Asian Games Federations möte under de olympiska sommarspelen 1972 i München valdes Singapore till värdstad för spelen 1978 efter en omröstning där Singapore fått 20 röster mot japanska Fukuokas 15 röster.[4][5] Efter att ha arrangerat South-east Asian Peninsular Games 1973 drog sig staden ur på grund av finansiella problem.[3][4] Pakistans huvudstad Islamabad valdes då som värdstad, men i juni 1975 drog sig även Pakistan ur på grund av ekonomiska problem samt konflikter med Bangladesh och Indien.[3][5][6] Efter en ny jakt på arrangörsorter gick Thailand med på att återigen hålla spelen i Bangkok och staden fick cirka 2,7 miljoner dollar från 11 länder för att hjälpa till med kostnaderna.[5][7]
Öppningsceremonin
Spelen öppnades den 9 december av Thailands kung Bhumibol Adulyadej inför en publik på 50 000 åskådare på Suphachalasai Stadium.[3][8] Ceremonin inleddes med 21 fallskärmshoppare som hoppade från tre helikoptrar och landade på arenan där de gav honnör åt kungen och sedan lämnade över den officiella flaggan till premiärminister Kriangsak Chomanan som var ordförande för organisationskommittén.[8] Delegationer med idrottare och funktionärer tågade in på stadion ackompanjerade av militärmusiker, de följde det thailändska alfabetets bokstavsordning med Demokratiska Kampucheas två funktionärer först, följda av Qatar och Sydkorea, undantaget var värdnationen Thailands delegation som tågade in sist.[8]
Spelen förklarades öppnade av kungen och 1 978 duvor släpptes.[8] Elden tändes av tennisspelaren Panomkorn Pladchurnil och simmaren Rachaniwan Bulakul, varefter fyrverkerier sköts upp och sedan svor cyklisten Preeda Chullamondhol idrottarnas ed.[8][9] Sedan följde en dansuppvisning med över 1 000 dansare och gymnastikövningar till musik utförda av 800 ungdomar.[8]

Flag of Syria (1972-1980), while the country was in the Federation of Arab Republics. The Arab text in the scroll held by the “Golden Hawk of Qureish” reads Arabic اتحاد الجمهوريات العربية, ittiħād al-jumhūriyyāt al-`arabiyya, i.e. the Federation (literally “Union”) of Arab Republics — in a quasi-Kufic script (in its original form, with a very ornamental letter dal د). Unlike Libya and Egypt, Syria did not display its name on the flag during this period.
