International career
editSiwarak played for Thailand U-23 in the 2007 Southeast Asian Games, and won a gold medal. He played his 7th game for Thailand against Oman in the Asian World Cup Qualifying section in 2008, but after Thailand hired a new national team coach, he found himself left out of any squad call ups, missing out on the 2008 AFF Suzuki Cup. Siwarak was recalled to the national team for the 2009 King's Cup. In 2013 Siwarak played against Lebanon in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification, after the first choice keeper Kawin Thamsatchanan got injured. In 2018 he was called up by Thailand national team for the 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup.

However, after Chatchai's disastrous performance in the team's shocking 1–4 defeat to India, he was chosen as the team's custodian replacing Chatchai as Rajevac was fired.
Siwarak performance in later matches against Bahrain (1–0),[2] UAE (1–1)[3] and China (1–2)[4] earned him praises and reputations, in which he was accredited as an instrumental part for Thailand's return to the knockout stage since 1972.
