The Thailand Amateur Open (Thai: ไทยแลนด์ อเมเจอร์ โอเพ่น), currently played as the Singha Thailand Amateur Open for sponsorship reasons, is an annual amateur golf championship held in Thailand. Organised by the Thailand Golf Association, the tournament includes separate men's and women's competitions.[1]

The men's champion receives the King Rama VII Trophy, while the women's champion receives the TGA President's Trophy.[2][3] The championship traces its origins to 1930, although its edition numbering does not correspond exactly to an uninterrupted annual sequence.[2][3]

History

The Thailand Amateur Open was established in 1930 and is one of Thailand's long-running national amateur golf championships.[2] The men's competition is associated with the King Rama VII Trophy, donated by King Prajadhipok, while the women's competition is associated with the TGA President's Trophy.[2][3]

Past champions and leading finishers have included golfers who later competed professionally, including Thongchai Jaidee, Prayad Marksaeng, Thaworn Wiratchant, Boonchu Ruangkit, Atthaya Thitikul, Aditi Ashok, Natthakritta Vongtaveelap and Chanettee Wannasaen.[4][5]

Recent editions have generally been staged at Panya Indra Golf Club in Bangkok.[1][6]

Format

The modern championship is played as a 72-hole stroke play event over four rounds.[1] The men's and women's competitions are held separately, with the lowest aggregate gross score determining the champion in each division. Under the 2025 conditions of competition, ties for first place are decided by a sudden-death, hole-by-hole playoff.[1]
