The 24th edition of the Southeast Asian Games, better known as the SEA Games, was hosted by the city of Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), about 300 km northeast of Bangkok in Thailand. Eleven nations in the Southeast region of Asia competed in 40+ events, which includes bodybuilding.

The bodybuilding event was only included after a very late decision by the Games Organising Committee in June earlier this year. As a compromise, bodybuilders could only compete in 4 weight categories (up to 80kg) and for fitness there was just 1 women category.

The schedule was as follows:

9 December - Weigh-in
10 December - Pre-Judging
11 December - Finals
