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.
