Despite her age, the housewife was energetically clapping and kicking an invisible ball in the air each time there was action on the field.
Samhun continued cheering on her relative throughout the game - as temperatures rocketed to around 35C - even though his team ended up losing by two goals.
Onlooker Palita Chokedee, the headteacher at the school, said: ‘Samhun was the best spectator I’ve ever seen.
'She kept showing lots of encouragement and love for her grandchild and she had a lot of energy.
‘At first I was a bit concerned that she could hurt herself so I kept an eye on her.
'But she didn’t seem to be tired at all and I was very impressed to see how fit and healthy she was.
‘Now, everyone here just loves her and totally admires her enthusiasm.’
