Port FC sit in 3rd place, just two points behind Ratchaburi and with a game in hand over several teams above them. A win tonight would keep their AFC Champions League Two qualification hopes firmly alive and apply pressure on the top two.
Port FC, the league’s most in-form home side in recent weeks, welcomed bottom-half Lamphun Warrior looking to bounce back strongly after a goalless draw at Muangthong United last weekend. The home side boasted a solid defensive record (only 19 goals conceded all season) and dangerous attacking options led by Brazilian forward Kaká Mendes and winger Bordin Phala.
Lamphun, fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone, arrived with one of the league’s poorest away records and had struggled to score consistently on the road. Port dominated possession from the start and wasted no time breaking the deadlock.
The match was effectively over inside the first 23 minutes as Port raced into a commanding three-goal lead:

Wat Rajapradit Sathan, also known as Wat Racha Praditsathan, is an active Buddhist temple situated on the city island of Ayutthaya in Thailand.
Its name translates to “Monastery of the Royal Installation,” reflecting its historical ties to royalty, and it stands outside the main Ayutthaya Historical Park boundaries in the Tha Wasukri or Hua Ro area. The temple complex today incorporates what was once a separate neighboring site called Wat Tha Sai, which has been annexed into it over time, and remnants of an old canal called Khlong Pratu Khao Pluak still exist as a small pond on the grounds after much of it was filled in.
The temple’s origins date back to the Ayutthaya Kingdom period, though the exact founder and construction date remain unclear from surviving records, with suggestions that it may have royal patronage given its name and associations.
It gained particular prominence through its connection to King Chakkraphat, who reigned from 1548 to 1569 and had ordained as a monk there prior ...
Wat Hua Lamphong is a third-class royal Buddhist temple located in Bangkok’s Bang Rak district along Rama IV Road, near the historic Hua Lamphong railway station.
Originally known as Wat Wua Lamphong and dating back roughly two centuries to the early Rattanakosin period, it serves as an active monastery and community spiritual center rather than a major tourist site.
The temple gained its current name during the reign of King Rama V and underwent a major renovation in 1996 to mark the Golden Jubilee of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, incorporating the royal Kanchanapisek seal featuring two elephants flanking a multi-tiered umbrella throughout its structures.
Its distinctive architecture includes elevated ordination and assembly halls reached by wide staircases, colorful murals depicting Buddhist stories and traditional Thai life, intricate mother-of-pearl and gilded lacquer decorations, and shrines dedicated to figures such as King Rama V and Ganesha.
Locally nicknamed the Coffin Temple, Wat Hua ...
The Erawan Museum in Samut Prakan stands as a striking cultural landmark known for its massive three-headed elephant statue. Located just southeast of Bangkok, it makes for an excellent short day trip.
Opened in 2003, the museum was created by Lek Viriyaphant, who also developed the nearby Ancient City and the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya. It houses his impressive private collection of antiques and religious artifacts.
The standout feature is the enormous three-headed elephant, known as Erawan or Airavata in Hindu-Buddhist mythology. Crafted from copper and bronze, this impressive sculpture weighs around 250 tons and rises high on its pedestal, making it one of the largest hand-crafted elephant statues in the world.
The entire structure symbolizes the three realms of the universe — the underworld, the human world, and heaven. Inside, visitors encounter beautifully ornate spaces filled with stained glass, murals, sculptures, and a rich array of artifacts. The lower levels in the pedestal ...
