In 2006, 2008 and 2009 Thailand failed to progress past the round robin stage of the event[2][3][4] but in 2007 they hosted the event and finished as the runners-up to Chinese Taipei.[5]

1 In the 2000 tie against Slovakia, the female Slovakian competitor, Henrieta Nagyová, was forced to retire during the singles match and was also unable to play the mixed doubles match. This conceded two points to Thailand and helped towards their eventual 3–0 victory over Slovakia.[1]
