Thailand is expected to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games have been postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the nation's official debut in 1952, Thai athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, because of its partial support of the US-led boycott.

Boxing

Thailand entered four boxers (two per gender) into the Olympic tournament. 2018 Asian Games and world silver medalist Sudaporn Seesondee (women's lightweight) and teenagers Thitisan Panmot (men's flyweight) and Baison Manikon (women's welterweight), with men's featherweight boxer Chatchai Butdee going to his third consecutive Games, secured the spots on the Thai squad in their respective weight divisions, either by advancing to the semifinal match or by scoring a box-off triumph, at the 2020 Asia & Oceania Qualification Tournament in Amman, Jordan.

Equestrian

Thailand fielded a squad of three equestrian riders for the first time into the Olympic team eventing competition by securing an outright berth as one of two top-ranked nations, not yet qualified, at the International Equestrian Federation (FEI)-designated Olympic qualifier for Group F and G (Africa, Middle East, Asia and Oceania) in Saumur, France.

Eventing

Cycling

Road

Thailand entered one rider to compete in the women's Olympic road race, by virtue of her top 100 individual finish (for women) in the UCI World Ranking.

Sailing

Thai sailors qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the class-associated World Championships, and the continental regattas.

M = Medal race; EL = Eliminated – did not advance into the medal race

Shooting

Thai shooters achieved quota places for the following events by virtue of their best finishes at the 2018 ISSF World Championships, the 2019 ISSF World Cup series, and Asian Championships, as long as they obtained a minimum qualifying score (MQS) by May 31, 2020.

Taekwondo

Thailand entered one athlete into the taekwondo competition at the Games. Rio 2016 bronze medalist Panipak Wongpattanakit qualified directly for the women's flyweight category (49 kg) by finishing among the top five taekwondo practitioners at the end of the WT Olympic Rankings.
