Malaysia will have two representatives at the Thailand Masters final after Aaron Chi-Soh Wooi Yik and Pearly Tan-M.Thinaah both won their matches in convincing fashion on Saturday.
It is the second time this year that two Malaysian pairs have reached a final on the World Tour this year.
At the Indonesia Masters in January, both Tan-Thinaah and men's doubles pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun reached the finals.
Man-Tee won that final, while Tan-Thinaah finished second.
The Malaysians will look to change the script this time around, after going on a great run in Bangkok so far.
On Saturday's first match of the day, Chia-Soh came away victorious to reach their second final of the year after they turned in a stellar performance to oust home pair Kittinupong Kedren-Dechapol Puavaranukroh 21-17, 21-13.
The Malaysians took their time to warm up and trailed 6-10 in the first game.
But the Asian champions found their groove, there was no stopping Chia-Soh who cruised to a 33-minute victory.
The second seeds will face Danish pair William Boe-Christian Kjaer in Sunday's final in their attempt to secure a second silverware of the year.
Tan-Thinaah were also dominant in their 21-18, 21-12 victory over Japanese pair Rui Hirokami-Sayaka Hobara.
The top seeds struggled to find their footing in the opening stages of the first game, but eventually settled into their stride to overpower the Japanese.
The second game was even more straightforward for the world number four pair, who raced to a 8-1 lead which paved the way for a comfortable victory.
Tan-Thinaah will face South Korean pair Jeong Na-eun-Lee Yeon-woo in the final as they hunt a first title this year.
