Veteran Henman, who has slipped to 60 in the world rankings, is seeking to record his first victory against the 16th-ranked young Scot.
"This will be the third time in many weeks that I have to play him. He got the better of me in Cincinnati. It was a close match,'' said Henman.
The 32-year-old said he hoped Murray would be jaded after helping Great Britain win their the Europe/Africa Zone Group 1 Davis Cup tie in Ukraine this weekend.
"He will have a tough travelling schedule after the Davis Cup. I think he will be tired.
"The last time we met in Cincinnati he played better in crucial points. I have to play well in crucial games this time. It will be a fantastic match,'' Henman continued.
Twelve months ago Henman cancelled his flight to Bangkok due to injury, but had no intention of cancelling again because of the political situation.
"I called people here from home and they said everything is alright. Now I feel comfortable and would not play if I'm uncomfortable,'' he added.
