This is the first title that Bun has won in his career. He returned to Cambodia two years ago after being born and raised in France. He is a regular participant at ATP tournaments.
"I was not very confident ahead of the tournament because I did not know anything of the other players, but I came out on top here. It is a little bit of a surprise but my play was consistent throughout the tournament," Bun said.
Bun will receive prize money of US$3,000, while runner-up Sunu, who is the No 3 tennis player in Indonesia, pockets $1,500.
In the men's doubles final, the home nation's Le Quoc Khanh and Ngo Quang Huy played well to overcome Indonesia's top-seed Aditya Hari Sasongko and Sunu 6-3, 6-3 to take the doubles title and win prize money of $2,000.
