In tomorrow's semi-finals, Thailand will take on Singapore and defending champions Malaysia will meet Indonesia.
After arriving in Myanmar's new capital following a five-hour road trip, Thailand coach Kiatisak Senamuang said Singapore were strong in defence.
''It will not be an easy match,'' Kiatisak said. ''They are dangerous on the counter-attack and their striker Sahil Suhaimi has scored three goals.
''But we will be at full strength and I am confident that we will win.''
Only Pakorn Prempak is nursing a slight injury and Thailand will welcome back some of their suspended players, including captain Teerathon Bunmathan.
Kiatisak rested several key players in their scoreless draw against Cambodia in the last group match on Monday.
Thailand are desperate to regain the SEA Games title they won eight times in a row until 2007. They have since been knocked out in the first rounds in the previous two Games.
In futsal, the Thai men will meet Vietnam in the final on Friday after a 8-1 win against hosts Myanmar yesterday.
Suphawut 'The Futsal Wizard' Thuenklang scored a hat-trick and Thailand were much too strong for Myanmar, who reached the semi-finals for the first time.
