Thailand have finished the Ju-Jitsu Asian Championships on top of the standings as they recorded a haul of five gold medals on the final day here in Bangkok.

The host nation were guaranteed victory in the opening final as Paweena Phalakan and Nutchaya Sugun both advanced to the women's under-48 kilograms contact decider at Rangsit University.

Phalakan ended up victorious as the bout went the distance in what was a thrilling encounter.

The two were joined on the podium by Le Thi My Hien of Vietnam and Chinese Taipei's Tsai Sin-Ping.

Nuchanat Singchalad doubled Thailand's gold medal total for the day as she dominated Altynay Mergenbay of Kazakhstan in the women's under-57kg event. 

Another Chinese Taipei bronze medal went to Huang Ching-Wen, who shared the honour with Vietnam's Thuong Le.

Thailand then secured their place atop the medals table by securing gold in all three duo events - the men's, women's, and mixed.

In the discipline, athletes are judged for their speed, accuracy, control and realism as they simulate a bout with their partner.

The results meant that Thailand finished with 16 gold, 11 silver, and 16 bronze medals to beat Kazakhstan's total of 10 gold, 12 silver, and 17 bronze.

Following yesterday's bouts where the United Arab Emirates won four tournaments, they were looking like potential challengers to Thailand's lead.

However, a catastrophic day with no victories saw them slip to third place with seven golds, five silvers, and four bronzes.

That paved the way for Kazakhstan to overtake them.

The country recorded a day-high six gold medals courtesy of dominant performances from Zhanar Degenbay, Ayan Amze, Talgat Zhiyentayev, Sanat Sarsenuly, Imangali Abdikaiym, and Samir Safarov.

Victories were also taken by Iran's Ali Akbarpour, Uzbekistan's Khumoyun Khashimov, Lin Yu of Chinese Taipei, and the Vietnamese trio of Duong Thi Thanh Minh, Que Hoang, and Phung Thi Hue.
