He debuted in the 2010 Intercontinental Cup with two shutout innings of relief against Italy, a bright spot in a 15-6 loss. He started and lost to Nicaragua (6 R, 4 ER in 2 IP) and closed out a 13-3 loss to the Czech Republic (3 BB, 1 R in 1/3 IP). His 9.64 ERA was the median mark on Thailand's five-man staff. He was also with Thailand for the 2010 Asian Games. He was lit up by Gold Medal winner South Korea in the 2014 Asian Games (2/3 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 3 HB, 8 R, 7 ER) for the loss.

In the 2018 East Asian Baseball Cup, he was 1-1 with a 10.38 ERA, highest on the Thai staff. He was hit hard by the champion Philippines but shut down Singapore.

He walked Faldy Akhmad Zulfikar to open the 4th and Yana Gerhana bunted him over. Sihamat whiffed Zidney Fahmidyan and retired Rizki Ramadan on a fly. After Thailand closed it to 11-3, he retired Albefiandi Aiken Setiawan and Adi Susanto to open the 5th. Andospa Aldo Saputra got the first hit off him, then Sakai Phraechai relieved.
