Thailand's Two Badminton World Champions

Ratchanok Intanon won the BWF World Championships women's singles title in 2013 and has remained among the world's top players for over a decade. No other Thai athlete has maintained that level in an individual racket sport for as long. Then in 2023, Kunlavut Vitidsarn won the BWF World Championships men's singles title, making Thailand one of the only countries outside Indonesia, China and Malaysia to produce world champions in both singles draws.

Both players are active on the BWF World Tour. Intanon competes at every major Super 1000 and Super 500 event and her draw position is the first thing Thai bettors check when a bracket is released. Kunlavut has risen to the top of the men's rankings and is a consistent finalist at Super 1000 events. Having two players at world title level in the same generation gives Thai bettors live stakes in multiple draws across the full calendar.

The Thailand Open in Bangkok gives both players a home event each year. It is a BWF Super 500 draw and attracts the world top 10 to Thai soil, which is why local betting interest does not wait for the Olympics or the World Championships to get active.

Popular Events Thai Players Follow

• Thailand Open (Super 500, Bangkok): The home event for both Intanon and Kunlavut. Draws the world top 10 to Thailand annually. The only BWF World Tour event on Thai soil each year and the highest-volume local betting event of the season.
• BWF World Championships (August): Where Intanon won in 2013 and Kunlavut won in 2023. Thai bettors follow both singles draws closely every August.
• All England Open (March): The most prestigious tour event outside the Olympics. Both Intanon and Kunlavut have reached the later rounds here.
• Malaysia Open (January, Super 1000): Opens the BWF calendar. Both players feature in the later rounds regularly.
• Indonesia Open (June, Super 1000): Draws the full world top 10 and is the heaviest-weighted Super 1000 event of the year.

• Olympic Games: Sit above all tour events and generate the broadest betting interest.

Badminton Betting Markets in Thailand

Thai badminton betting is active in both men's singles and women's singles across BWF events, driven by Kunlavut and Intanon in their respective draws.

• Match winner: Back a specific player to win. Intanon attracts consistent match winner backing at Super 500 and Super 1000 events. Kunlavut draws strong men's singles backing at every major BWF event he enters.
• Tournament outright: Pick the singles winner before the draw begins. Both players are among the top-priced outright options at major events. Best prices are found before the first two rounds complete.
• Correct score: Predict whether the match ends 2-0 or 2-1 in games. Pays better odds than match winner because fewer outcomes qualify.
• Game handicap: One player starts with a game advantage. Used when Intanon or Kunlavut faces a heavy favourite from China in the earlier rounds.
• Total points in a game: Bet over or under a points line for a specific game within the match.

How to Bet on Badminton in Thailand

• Check the legal position before depositing. The Gambling Act 1935 prohibits most forms of gambling in Thailand and no domestic online sports betting licence is issued. Every sportsbook EightOdds recommends holds an international offshore licence. Review your own situation before depositing.
• Confirm the sportsbook covers both singles draws. Some sportsbooks limit badminton to men's events only. Check that women's singles and men's singles markets are both listed before registering, particularly for Super 500 events where Intanon is the main draw.
• Register using your exact TrueMoney name. Your sportsbook account name must match your TrueMoney Wallet registered name exactly. A mismatch will delay withdrawals until both accounts are verified.
• Deposit via TrueMoney Wallet or PromptPay. TrueMoney Wallet deposits are instant and processed in THB. PromptPay QR transfers via Kbank, SCB, BBL or KTB are equally fast and widely accepted at recommended sportsbooks.
