It did not take place in December as in the years before due to the collision with the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand. The prize money was USD300,000.

The players were qualified according to the ranking on 1 December 1998. In men's singles the first 16 players were qualified, in women's singles the first 12 and in the doubles the first eight.
