In 2016 Lertsattayathorn entered the Asian Snooker Championship in Doha as the 13th seed. Lertsattayathorn went on to reach the final and defeated Mohammed Shehab 8–2 to win the championship, as a result he was given a two-year card on the professional World Snooker Tour for the 2016–17 and 2017–18.[2] At the 2016 English Open, Lertsattayathorn beat compatriot Boonyarit Keattikun 4–3 and Michael White 4–1.
