The Thai golfer trailed third-round leader Robert-Jan Derksen by four shots coming into the final day but as the Dutchman fell away, Thongchai shot a round of two-under 70 to move into joint first alongside Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and local player Kang Sung-hoon on four-under overall.

That forced an extra hole and Jaidee stepped up and holed a birdie putt from five foot to win his second co-sanctioned European and Asian Tour event of the year following his success at the Enjoy Jakarta Indonesia Open in March.

Thongchai had trailed Fernandez-Castano then Kang by one shot for most of the fourth round.

But, when the leading duo dropped shots at 17 and 18 respectively, Thongchai held par throughout his final eight holes after earlier carding three birdies and a bogey to force the extra hole.

He had to watch nervously, however, as both of his opponents had chances to pull further ahead after reaching the 18th green in three shots during their regular round.

Fernandez-Castano dropped off the pace with rounds of 74 and 76 over the next two rounds as wind and rain affected the 2.1million euro event.

He trailed Derksen by five shots at the start of play, but a round of three-under 69 including four birdies and an eagle at the fourth, pushed the runner-up from last week's Volvo Open in Beijing to the top of the leaderboard.
