A combination thermal module includes a vapor chamber defining an airtight chamber filled with a working fluid and having at least one through hole formed thereon communicable with the airtight chamber; at least one annular wick structure provided in the airtight chamber corresponding to the through hole; and at least one heat pipe has an open end inserted into the airtight chamber to contact with a first wick structure on an inner lower surface of the vapor chamber and be axially supported on the annular wick structure. The annular wick structure includes communicable axial and radial passages, allowing vaporized working fluid to flow from the vapor chamber to the heat pipe quickly. With these arrangements, the thermal module has a shortened flow-back path between the vapor chamber and the heat pipe to avoid dry burning in the vapor chamber and upgrade the two-phase heat exchange efficiency of the vapor chamber.
