Thailand Tokamak-1 (or TT-1) is a small research tokamak operated by the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology in Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand.{{Cite journal |last1=Paenthong |first1=Worathat |last2=Wisitsorasak |first2=Apiwat |last3=Sangaroon |first3=Siriyaporn |last4=Promping |first4=Jiraporn |last5=Ogawa |first5=Kunihiro |last6=Isobe |first6=Mitsutaka |date=2022-10-01 |title=Fast-ion orbit analysis in Thailand Tokamak-1 |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920379622002484 |journal=Fusion Engineering and Design |language=en |volume=183 |pages=113254 |doi=10.1016/j.fusengdes.2022.113254 |bibcode=2022FusED.18313254P |issn=0920-3796}}{{Cite journal |last1=Sangaroon |first1=S. |last2=Ogawa |first2=K. |last3=Isobe |first3=M. |last4=Wisitsorasak |first4=A. |last5=Paenthong |first5=W. |last6=Promping |first6=J. |last7=Poolyarat |first7=N. |last8=Tamman |first8=A. |last9=Ploykrachang |first9=K. |last10=Dangtip |first10=S. |last11=Onjun |first11=T. |date=2023-03-01 |title=Feasibility study of neutral beam injection in Thailand Tokamak-1 |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920379623000030 |journal=Fusion Engineering and Design |language=en |volume=188 |pages=113419 |doi=10.1016/j.fusengdes.2023.113419 |bibcode=2023FusED.18813419S |s2cid=255534680 |issn=0920-3796}} The tokamak was built in collaboration with the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and features an upgraded design based on the HT-6M tokamak developed in 1984. The first successful test of the device occurred on 21 April 2023. TT-1 officially began operations on 25 July 2023 and became the first tokamak to operate in Southeast Asia.{{Cite web |last=Xie |first=Echo |date=2023-07-26 |title=Thailand debuts first tokamak device with help from Chinese scientists |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3229021/thailand-debuts-first-tokamak-help-chinese-scientists-milestone-southeast-asias-clean-energy |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=South China Morning Post |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Lapuekou |first=Chono |date=2023-07-27 |title=Thailand Launches First Tokamak in Southeast Asia, as Major Milestone in Clean Energy Research |url=https://laotiantimes.com/2023/07/27/thailand-launches-first-tokamak-in-southeast-asia-as-major-milestone-in-clean-energy-research/ |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=Laotian Times |language=en-US}}
