Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Supissara Paewsampran lost 1-2 to Chinese rising stars, missing the finals at the Thailand Open 2026 badminton tournament.
On 16 May 2026, the World Tour Super 500 badminton event "Toyota Thailand Open 2026," competing for the King's Cup, was held at Nimibutr Hall, National Stadium, Pathumwan. "Bas" Dechapol Puavaranukroh and "Fem" Supissara Paewsampran, the world No. 3 mixed doubles and top seeds of the tournament, faced Ju Yi Jun and Li Qian, the world No. 45 pair from China.
The Chinese pair Ju Yi Jun and Li Qian played sharply and confidently, narrowly defeating Bas and Fem 2-1 in games, 21-17, 10-21, and 21-18, in a 54-minute match. This result sadly prevented Bas and Fem from advancing to the final.
The Chinese duo will advance to the final to face Denmark's Mathias Christiansen and Alexandra Bøje, ranked world No. 7, who defeated China's Cheng Xing and Zhang Shu, world No. 13, 2-1 in games with scores of 23-21, 17-21, 21-16.
