Thailand finished on the podium on both of their first two appearances at the Asian Games. They beat Chinese Taipei in the bronze medal match as hosts of the 1998 Games, where rugby sevens made its Asian Games debut. The team lost a rematch with Chinese Taipei in the semifinals at the 2002 Games in Busan, before overcoming Japan to claim bronze again.

The Thai team did not make it as far as the semifinals in their four subsequent Asian Games appearances, ranking seventh in 2006 and 2014 and eighth in 2010 and 2018. At Indonesia 2018 they progressed from Group A thanks to a 43-0 defeat of Pakistan, but were then blown away 52-0 by eventual gold medallists Hong Kong, China in the quarterfinals. Their tournament ended with defeats to Malaysia and Chinese Taipei in the classification rounds.

Thailand have claimed several medals at the South East Asian Games, including gold in 2007 on home soil. More recently they won the bronze medal match in both 2017 and 2019, defeating the Philippines and Singapore, respectively.
