Thailand's pre-tournament friendly meeting with fellow AFC Asian Cup participants Qatar was abandoned at half-time due to torrential rain at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on Saturday.
The match will be replayed on Monday at the same venue as both sides look to complete their preparations for July's AFC Asian Cup, which is being co-hosted by Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.
Qatar were the better side in the first half hour and took a deserved lead three minutes before the break through Waleed Jassim who scored his fourth consecutive goal for Qatar with a powerful free-kick.
However, the hosts levelled the scores just before the break through veteran midfielder Therdsak Chaiman.
Co-hosts Thailand will face Iraq, Oman and newcomers Australia in Group A and open the tournament against Iraq on July 7 in Bangkok, while 2006 Asian Games gold medalists Qatar have been drawn in Group B alongside defending champions Japan, UAE and co-hosts Vietnam.
