Reigning men's singles world champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn. For a country that boasts current and former world champions, an Olympic medal remains elusive for Thai badminton players. Despite competing in every Olympic Games since 1992, the closest Thai badminton players got to a podium finish was at Athens 2004 when Boonsak Ponsana reached the men's singles semi-final and lost to the eventual champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia. Boonsak was also beaten in the bronze medal match by Sony Dawi Kuncoro of Indonesia to finish in fourth place. For Dechapol, Sapsiree, Jongkolphan and Rawinda, Paris 2024 will be their second Games appearances.
