History

On debut in 2019, the event was sponsored by Toyota and was also known as the Toyota Thailand Open. Initially, the event was classified as a WTA International tournament, but has been a WTA 250 tournament as of the 2023 edition; the first to be played since the rebranding of WTA tournament categories in 2020.[1] The tournament did not take place in 2021 and 2022 due to COVID-19 pandemic.

A low-level men's and women's Challenger Tour event was previously held in the same location in 2015 and 2017 in November.
