Noppon Saengkham has been an ever-present on the World Snooker Tour since 2013 and has reached the semi-finals of a full-ranking event on four occasions.
A former winner of the World Under-21 Championship in 2009, Saengkham turned professional for a single season before regaining his place four years later with victory at the Asian Under-21 Championship.
His best results as a professional to date came in 2018 when he reached the last four of both the Welsh Open and the World Open, before he equalled those runs at the 2022 British Open and 2023 World Grand Prix.
He also notably became only the third Thai player (after James Wattana and Dechawat Poomjaeng) to reach the last 16 of the World Championship in 2020, defeating former champion Shaun Murphy 10-4 at the Crucible Theatre, before losing 13-12 to three-time winner Mark Selby.
In 2019, he made his first maximum break against Mark Selby at the Welsh Open in Cardiff.
