TBE Billiards News | Thepchaiya Wins 2026 World Open

• April 18, 2026

At the recently concluded 2026 World Snooker Open, Thailand’s Thepchaiya Un-Nooh delivered an outstanding performance to claim the championship, bringing pride to Thailand and the broader Southeast Asian billiards community.

Known for his fast-paced and aggressive playing style, Thepchaiya has long been a key figure in Asian snooker. This victory not only highlights his individual excellence but also reflects the rising competitive strength of Southeast Asia in cue sports.

In recent years, the region has seen rapid growth in both professional tournaments and grassroots participation, with billiards becoming increasingly popular across clubs, entertainment venues, and youth training programs.

Looking ahead, the Thailand (Bangkok) Billiards Expo 2026 (TBE 2026), taking place on October 29–31 in Bangkok, will continue to support this momentum by connecting global brands, professional players, and billiards enthusiasts, while unlocking new opportunities in the Southeast Asian market.
