The Honda LPGA Thailand is a women's professional golf tournament on the LPGA Tour. It was played for the first time at the Amata Spring Country Club in Thailand in 2006. In 2007 the tournament moved to the Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course. It was the first LPGA Tour event held in Thailand and it increased the number of countries on the 2006 LPGA schedule to eight, including the United States.

The tournament was not held in 2008, but returned to the LPGA schedule in 2009. The tournament is a limited-field event with no cut. In 2011, 60 players were in the tournament (57 professionals and 3 amateurs); a full-field LPGA tournament has about 144 players.

The title sponsor is Honda, a Japanese-based manufacturer of automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, and robots.
