The reigning champion put all its hope in the 17-year-old An Se-Young, who stunned world No.1 Tai Tzu-ying to inspire South Korea edge Chinese Taipei 3-2 on Wednesday.
But the rising star was upset by Ratchanok Intanon, the former World Championship winner, 21-15, 21-17 in the women's singles, sawing Thailand reached the semifinals for the third time.
"It's a great pity to lose the match. I took most time to defend and seldom got the chance to attack as Intanon is quite aggressive. Overall I learned a lot during Sudirman Cup," said An who couldn't help but burst into tears after the loss.
Other two quarter-finals will see Chinese Taipei battle with Indonesia and Malaysia take on Japan on Friday.
