The [[Football at the 2014 Asian Games|2014 Asian Games]] was held in [[Incheon]], [[South Korea]]. The Thailand U23 Team under coach [[Kiatisuk Senamuang]] built a young-blood team that would later become the main Thailand senior team with players such as [[Chanathip Songkrasin]], [[Sarach Yooyen]], [[Kawin Thamsatchanan]], [[Charyl Chappuis]], etc. In this competition the team made top performance by finishing in fourth place, the highest in the Asian Games after 1998.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://footballsea.wordpress.com/category/thai-football/thailand-u-23s/|title=Thailand lose out to Iraq in bronze medal match|first=footballsea|last=wordpress|date=2 October 2014|accessdate=1 November 2019}}</ref>

==== 2016 AFC U-23 Championship ====
The [[2016 AFC U-23 Championship]] final tournament was held in [[Qatar]] from 12–30 January 2016. Thailand qualified for the tournament by runner-up in the [[2016 AFC U-23 Championship qualification|qualification]] stage in homeland in March 2015. The Young Elephants recorded comprehensive victories; 2–1 against [[Cambodia national under-23 football team|Cambodia]]; 5–1 against [[Philippines national under-23 football team|Philippines]] and 0–0 against [[North Korea national under-23 football team|North Korea]].

The [[2016 AFC U-23 Championship]] doubled as the qualifying tournament for the [[Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Summer Olympics Football tournament]] in [[Rio de Janeiro]].<ref name="Rio2016">{{cite web|title=QUALIFICATION SYSTEM – GAMES OF THE XXXI OLYMPIAD – RIO 2016 – Football |url=http://www.rio2016.com/sites/default/files/users/rio2016_files/fifa-football-en_0.pdf |format=pdf |publisher=Rio 2016 Official Website |accessdate=22 January 2015 |date=23 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906102243/http://www.rio2016.com/sites/default/files/users/rio2016_files/fifa-football-en_0.pdf |archivedate= 6 September 2015 }}</ref> Thailand were eliminated from the championship in the [[2016 AFC U-23 Championship#Group B|group stage]]. A 1–1 draw to [[Saudi Arabia national under-23 football team|Saudi Arabia]] followed by a 0–4 loss to [[Japan national under-23 football team|Japan]] meant that Thailand needed to defeat [[North Korea national under-23 football team|North Korea]] in the final group match. A nil-all draw resulted in the elimination for Thailand from the tournament and hence failure to qualify for the Olympics. Although eliminated, Thailand earned praise and reputation for its strong performance in the tournament.

==== 2018 AFC U-23 Championship ====
In the [[2018 AFC U-23 Championship]], Thailand only finished second in their [[2018 AFC U-23 Championship qualification|qualification]], but with the team being undefeated, Thailand beat [[Malaysia national under-23 football team|Malaysia]] 3–0 and was held draws by [[Mongolia national under-23 football team|Mongolia]] and [[Indonesia national under-23 football team|Indonesia]], Thailand became the best runners-up to qualify. The Young Elephants prepared by hosting the friendly [[2017 M-150 Cup]], where they finished fourth but managed to beat Japan 2–1. This enthusiastic performance of Thailand put up great hope for the team, having earlier conquered the [[Football at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games|2017 SEA Games]].

However, having entered the tournament, it would become Thailand's complete nightmare. They opened their game with a 0–1 loss to North Korea before got slapped with the same result to Japan, eventually eliminated the Young Elephants from the competition. The Thais bid goodbye from the competition in a humiliating fashion, with a devastating 1–5 loss to [[Palestine national under-23 football team|Palestine]]. To add the dismay, their defeated rivals Malaysia and [[Vietnam national under-23 football team|Vietnam]] both moved on to progress from the group stage, with the latter managed to reach the final and ended in second place.

==== 2020 AFC U-23 Championship ====
Thailand was awarded as host of the [[2020 AFC U-23 Championship]], therefore they were automatically qualified. Thailand still participated in the [[2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification|qualification]] as an opportunity to train and improve the team. Thailand, once again, finished second, after beating Indonesia and Brunei, but lost to Vietnam. Before the tournament, Thailand was eliminated at the [[2019 Southeast Asian Games]] after the group stage.

In the group stage, Thailand would face [[Iraq national under-23 football team|Iraq]], [[Australia national under-23 soccer team|Australia]] and maiden debutant [[Bahrain national under-23 football team|Bahrain]], and was tipped favorably to progress, mainly due to Australia's underperformance in the tournament and inexperienced Bahrain. Thailand prepared by playing against [[Saudi Arabia national under-23 football team|Saudi Arabia]] in the friendly encounter, but lost 0–1. In their first match against inexperienced Bahrain, the Thais proved to be too dominant for the visitor, as the Thais demolished Bahrain 5–0. This win allowed more Thai supporters coming to cheer for the Thai side in their second encounter against underperformed Australia, instead, Thailand suffered a heartbreaking 1–2 loss to Australia despite having taken the lead and putting Thailand's quest to the final stage in their final game against Iraq. In final matches in group state Thailand draw Iraq 1–1 earn a spot in the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time in AFC U-23 Championship as the second-placed team in the group behind Australia.<ref>https://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/asian-football/afc-u23-championship/1220033/5-talking-points-as-thailand-play-out-1-1-draw-vs-iraq-to-reach-afc-u23-championship-2020-quarter-finals/</ref> In quarterfinals Thailand have to face with the winner of Group B, Saudi Arabia and lost with penalty 1-0 end the way to 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.<ref>https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/1838689/its-all-over-as-war-elephants-exit-u23-meet</ref>
