Founded in 2016, PRINCESS SIRIVANNAVARI Thailand Masters 2026 is into its ninth edition.
Hosts Thailand have produced winners at all but one edition – 2020.
They are the most successful nation with 11 titles.
Thai players have also featured most frequently in finals, with 21 discipline appearances.
There have been three same-nation finals – two involving China and one Thailand.
Jason Teh is the lone player returning to defend his title.
Last year’s women’s doubles champions Lanny Tria Mayasari and Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti both compete with new partners this time.
Now with Bagas Maulana, Leo Rolly Carnando is the only top seed to have previously won the event – in 2023 alongside old sidekick Daniel Marthin.
Entered in mixed doubles with Pakkapon Teeraratsakul, Sapsiree Taerattanachai could become the joint most successful player in tournament history with a third title.
Taerattanachai claimed her first victory in women’s doubles with the now-retired Puttita Supajirakul in 2019 before adding the mixed doubles title in 2024 with Dechapol Puavaranukroh.
Puavaranukroh and Taerattanachai hold the record for most final appearances – five.
Standout Stat:Kantaphon Wangcharoen is the only shuttler to have competed at all nine editions.
