|May 18, 2025
Top seeds Pornpawee Chochuwong and Kunlavut Vitidsarn advanced to the finals of US$475,000 (approx 16,150,000 baht) BWF Toyota Thailand Open at Nimibutr Stadium yesterday.

Pornpawee knocked out defending champion Supanida Katethong to reach the women’s singles decider of the World Tour Super 500 event.
Pornpawee will be looking to win her home tournament for the first time and add the national open to the Thailand Masters crown earlier this year as she takes on former champion Chen Yufei of China.
Pornpawee’s victory at the Princess Sirivannavari Thailand Masters in February was her first in nearly two years.
