In 2013, Wongteanchai started her year by winning a title at the Blossom Cup. It was her most important title so far. She was then awarded a wildcard into the Pattaya Open, where she defeated Annika Beck 6–3, 6–3 but lost to Marina Erakovic in the second round. In the doubles event, Wongteanchai partnered with her sister Varunya. In the first round, they defeated the third seeds Chan Yung-jan and Chan Hao-ching as well as Irina Buryachok and Valeria Solovyeva.
