Tournament

The Yonex Thailand Open is the eighth tournament of the 2020 BWF World Tour and also part of the Thailand Open championships, which have been held since 1984. This tournament is organized by Badminton Association of Thailand and sanctioned by the BWF. It is the first of three BWF tournaments to take place in Thailand in January 2021. Participation in both Thailand Opens is mandatory to qualify for the 2020 BWF World Tour Finals.

Four out of five world number ones have withdrawn from all three tournaments. The Chinese team has withdrawn from all three tournaments after failing to get permission to travel to Thailand; affected players include Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan (women's doubles), and Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong (mixed doubles). In addition, the Japanese team has withdrawn from the tournaments following the positive COVID-19 diagnosis of Kento Momota (men's singles). Following Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo's positive COVID-19 diagnosis, he and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon (men's doubles) withdrew from the tournaments.

Venue

This international tournament is held at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
