Super Junior made their first overseas performance in Thailand on March 9, 2006 at a music ceremony.[33] In effect of the appearance, the group's new single with TVXQ moved up to #8 on Thailand's Channel [V] Music Chart.[33] Soon afterwards, "Miracle" debuted as #1 in the charts on March 21, 2006. "Miracle" was the second song produced by SM Entertainment that topped overseas music charts in Thailand of Channel V after TVXQ's "Rising Sun." The song stayed as #1 for four consecutive weeks.[6] During Super Junior's performance at the Academy Fantasia in Thailand on July 14, 2007, several hundred Thai fans were crowded around the stage to watch the group perform. Some fans even fainted due to excessive heat and limited space while many others were injured due to the heavy amount of shoving and pushing.
The group's third single for SMTown, released in the 2007 SUMMER SMTOWN - FRAGILE album on July 5, 2007, debuted as #18 on Thailand's International Channel [V] Music Chart on the week of July 29, 2007. The single jumped to #8 the week after, and on the third week the single advanced to #1.[34] The single was a remake of H.O.T.'s "Full of Happiness". Aside the International Channel [V] Music Chart, which was #1 for six consecutive weeks, the single also made it to #1 on the POP Channel International Chart and the MTV International Chart in Thailand. The single has been staying strong as the #1 position on these three charts.[13][14]
Since 2007, Siwon was chosen to be the endorser of 12 Plus Powder, and has been periodically filming commercials in Thailand. Super Junior were also appointed as goodwill ambassadors for the "2008 Korea and Thailand 50th Anniversary," honoring the good relationship Korea has with Thailand in the past fifty years. The group will be holding performances in Thailand in 2008, promoting the event.
