The Thailand Open is the first tournament on tour since the regrouping of "Tang Shea Pei", and the Hong Kong mixed doubles pair have gone from strength to strength after winning their first Asian Championships, beating their home Thailand pair to reach the semi-finals and meet China's Ko Ka Hwan/Wu Mengying in the semi-finals. "Gao Wu Pei" is the new mixed doubles pair of the Chinese team, 20-year-old Gao Jiaxuan and 22-year-old Wu Mengying, and the two are also known as the "new IELTS pair" (Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong).

Tang Xie Pei made his debut in the finale on the 17th, meeting with Ko Ka Hyun / Wu Mengying for the first time, and the Hong Kong team pair scored three points in a row at the beginning, but unfortunately there were many mistakes afterwards, first falling behind 4:11, and was once pulled away to a double-digit deficit, losing the first game 6:21 in only 9 minutes.

Deng Junwen/Xie Yingxue was still the underdog in the second game, and was pulled away 6:11 after the initial score was bitten, and Deng Xie was chased to a 11:11 draw after the break, but failed to take advantage of the momentum to regain the lost ground, and was once again opened up by the Chinese combination, and lost 14:21, lost in two straight games in 28 minutes, and stopped in the semifinals, missing the championship after the Asian Championship.

In the other semi-final of the mixed doubles, the No. 2 seedFeng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping defeated the little-known Indonesian pair of Sianawi/Malwa 2-0 to win the first meeting between the two sides. In this way, the Chinese team locked the mixed doubles gold and silver medals in advance of this station, proving the group advantage of the Chinese team in this project.
