The PTT Pattaya Open player party was held at The Point, which is right at the official hotel.

The players of the PTT Pattaya Open posed for a group photo as the party got underway.

Ana Ivanovic is playing the PTT Pattaya Open for the second time and is top seed this year.

The Hsieh sisters stepped out to the party - Shu-Ying on the left, Su-Wei on the right.

Sabine Lisicki at the party. Lisicki is a former World No.12 trying to work her way back up.

Heather Watson, who made her Top 40 debut this week, held the world up at the party.

The Chan sisters, Hao-Ching and Yung-Jan, with a representative from PTT at the party.

Chang Kai-Chen, Chinese Taipei's No.3 player after Hsieh Su-Wei and Chan Yung-Jan, at the party.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands at the party after grinding through the qualifying over the weekend.

Vania King sang at the party. She does well in Thailand - she won her lone WTA title in Bangkok.

There were just a few more attendees at the player party - some traditional puppets...

Kimiko Date-Krumm, fresh off the third round of the Australian Open, met one of the puppets.

One of the puppets also wanted to meet the food plate of young Chinese player Zhou Yi-Miao.

Zhou, China's No.7 player, recently reached her first WTA quarterfinal on home soil in Shenzhen.

The player party wrapped up with some fireworks. The players said great things about the night.
