The Best Team in Thailand
A machine devoid of mercy. They romped to their 12th title, went on a nine-game unbeaten run, and smashed 76 goals while only conceding 31. It was less of a title race and more of a procession.
The 'Leo's' People's Champions
With Buriram turning the league into a closed shop, Port were the only side to offer a glimmer of resistance. They bagged 59 goals, entertained the masses at PAT Stadium, and provided a faint pulse to an otherwise one-sided campaign.
The Worst Team in T1
A miserable debut in the top flight. They finished rock bottom with a mere 23 points, shipped 54 goals, and suffered a soul-crushing 8-0 hammering at the hands of Port FC in October.
The Biggest Underachievers
An absolute institutional collapse. To see a giant of the Thai game relegated to T2 with a -25 goal difference is nothing short of catastrophic. A complete failure of squad management and defensive organisation.
The Biggest Overachievers
They quietly went about their business, missing out on 2nd place by a single point. A genuine masterclass in punching above their financial weight.
Manager of the Season
The now ex-manager had an instant impact on the touchline, turning his squad into absolute contenders while navigating intense challenges. Click his name above to read our exclusive deep-dive interview on his tactical legacy.
Player of the Year
An absolute creative fulcrum. With an average FotMob rating of 7.70, 14 assists, and 10 big chances created, Mendes was the strings-puller for everything good that happened in Khlong Toei.
Thai Player of the Year
The breakout player we desperately needed in an era defined by ageing Thai stars. His pace, directness, and complete fearlessness up front provided a massive breath of fresh air for both club and country.
Top Scorer
Lethal. He bagged 23 league goals at a terrifying rate of 1.11 goals per 90 minutes.
Thai Top Scorer
A stellar domestic campaign, displaying precision and composure that outshone his seasoned peers by hitting the back of the net 8 times.
Best Goalkeeper
An absolute wall in the second tier. His commanding presence and crucial saves were the defensive bedrock that allowed The Monkey Kings to secure the T2 title.
The 'Atlas' Award
Where would Sukhothai be without him? Probably playing regional football. He consistently hauls them out of the mire.
Best Signing of the Season
Arriving on a free transfer from Danish side B.93, the 35-year-old was a revelation between the sticks. Racking up 14 clean sheets in 30 T1 matches, the ultimate bargain.
Worst Signing
Billed as the most significant English arrival since Robbie Fowler, parachuting a 34-year-old winger into a side fundamentally lacking T1 quality proved fatal. An expensive gamble that utterly failed to prevent relegation.
Biggest Flop
Leaking 52 goals in 30 games is inexcusable. They were bullied, bypassed, and ultimately responsible for sending a historic club into the second tier.
T2 Team of the Year
Promoted as champions with 71 points and 64 goals. It's a staggering rise for a team that was in the amateur leagues just a few years ago.
T2 Player of the Year
Fired The Monkey Kings to the T2 title with 17 goals. A relentless force in front of goal.
Best Foreign Newcomer
The 26-year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder arrived and instantly elevated the quality in T2, proving to be a nightmare for opposition defences to track.
Worst Team in T2
A completely dreadful campaign anchored to the bottom of the table. They looked entirely out of their depth, failing to adjust to the physical rigours of the second tier.
Most Disappointing in T2
With the squad at their disposal, they should have been comfortably challenging the top two. Instead, they delivered a wildly inconsistent campaign that left fans entirely short-changed.
Best T3 Team
Dominant in their regional division, playing a brand of football that embarrassed many senior T2 sides.
The 'Hamhock' Worst Team in Thailand
A name significantly longer than their list of achievements this season. A grim campaign from start to finish. 0 points from their six games in TSP North East and a goal difference of -29.
Best Place to Visit
The nicest small town on the Gulf of Thailand. An away fixture here guarantees superb seafood, a beautiful seaside weekend, and a genuinely welcoming local football culture.
Best Stadium & Atmosphere
PAT Stadium remains the ultimate cauldron. The voracious, relentless support from the Khlong Toei faithful creates an intimidating, purely electric atmosphere that no other T1 club can match.
Worst Away Fan Area
A thoroughly miserable experience where paying away supporters are essentially penned into a claustrophobic cage. A stark reminder of how not to treat travelling fans.
Best Away Fan Area
A proper footballing experience that treats travelling supporters with actual dignity, a rarity in the modern Thai game.
Worst Away Zone
The 'We Built It Out of Scaffolding' Award. The new away "stand" is absolutely shocking. A masterclass in how to make paying fans feel like an unwanted afterthought.
Goal of the Season
Scored against Kasetsart. An absolute thunderbastard of a strike that perfectly encapsulated Pattani's sensational late-season surge.
Shirt of the Year
An absolute, undeniable aesthetic masterpiece on the pitch. If only they could build actual football teams the way they design shirts.
Managerial Chaos Award
The 'Turnstile' Award. A revolving door of tactics, personnel, and pure panic that ultimately led to a 10-game losing streak and inevitable relegation.
The 'Own Days' Award
Awarded for the Prachuap 4-4 Ayutthaya United fixture. Absolute carnage, confusing decisions, and zero accountability on the pitch.
Forgot We Were Playing
Watching them try to scrape a result outside of their home stadium was a genuinely painful experience for all involved.
