Sun first rise in Japan
The Japanese name for Japan is Nippon, which translates roughly to "Land of the Rising Sun." This name derives from Japan's position to the East of China, which means that the sun rises earlier in Japan.
Japan. It is called "The Land of the Rising Sun" because it is one of the most easterly countries, and is located off in the horizon where China observes the Sun rising.

You see China was west of Japan and so was the sun and China would usually give names to countries around it.
There are two connections to the nickname, which is typically applied to Japan, not Thailand. The first is that the Japanese name for Japan (Nihon / Nippon) means "origin of the Sun." The other is that Japan, being east of the Asian mainland, was called the "land where the Sun Rises" in ancient China.
Japan is known as the "Land of the Rising Sun," not the setting sun. This nickname reflects Japan's location to the east of China, where the sun rises.
No, the sun rises in the east in China, as it does in most locations on Earth. The direction of the sunrise and sunset is determined by Earth's rotation.
As the most general theory...It came from the word which Marco Polo used to introduce Japan at the first time in "The description of the world". Nippon, the official name, is of Chinese origins and refers to the "land of the rising sun" as Japan, from China is east. 日本、or Nihon (when romanized) can be traced to the original pictorial meanings of the kanji used to write Japan in Japanese. Ever heard of the 'Land of the Rising Sun' ? The first character, ni, represents the sun. What I have been taught about the second character is that it represents a tree (very similar to the kanji for tree, 木)and therefore the word represents the sun coming up through the trees, or, in other words, the rising sun. At that time the area was dominated by China, and it was China that gave the names to the countries around them. Japan was to their East and was the land toward the rising sun. Japan means Nippon "land of the rising sun" and in English it means Japan.
Japan is often referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun." This nickname comes from the Japanese word "Nihon" or "Nippon," which means "origin of the sun." The country is also known as the Land of the Rising Sun due to its location to the east of Asia, where the sun appears to rise first.
"The land of the rising sun" is Japan's nickname. The Japanese word for Japan is Nihon / Nippon. The written characters, originally from Chinese, mean "sun-origin" and referred to Japan's location east of mainland Asia, in the direction of the rising sun.
