Are we witnessing another revolution in Thai football involving a notorious political family dynasty?Following on from the Buriram soap opera we now have Suphanburi spending big money in an effort to bring football glory to their town in the boonies.
Currently in Division One they have set about improving their squad for the new campaign and among their signings is Pipat Thonkanya, the former Persisam and Thai Port striker who spent last season with Osotspa after a short spell with Buriram PEA.

Muang Thong United v Chonburi 0-0

Goalkeepers: Sinthaweechai Hathairattanakool (Chonburi), Sivaruk Terdsungnern (Buriram PEA) and Chatchai Butprom (Osotspa M-150).

Defenders: Phaitoon Tiebma (Muang Thong), Suttinun Phukhom (Chonburi), Chonlatit Jantakam (Chonburi), Teerathorn Boonmathan (Buriram PEA), Supachai Komsil (Bangkok Glass), Niweat Siriwong (Pattaya) and Prathum Chuthong (Osotspa M-150).

Phaitoon Thiabma, who enjoyed a couple of spells with Persijap in the Indonesia Super League, has been called up by new Thai coach Winnie Schaefer ahead of their opening World Cup Qualifiers.
Missing from the squad is the Thai Premier League's Sarayut Chaikamdee. I watched Thailand during last years AFF Cup and often felt their game lacked its normal fluidity by having the relativley static Sarayut as a target man.

They may have lost their first game of the season, away to north east neighbours Si Sa Ket, but Buriram PEA will still look back on a good weekend with nearest rivals Chonburi and Muang Thong United cancelling each other out in Chonburi.

Former Persijap midfielder Phaitoon Thiabma thought he'd hit pay dirt ahead of the new Thai Premier League season when he swapped the shirt of Osotspa for the champions Muang Thong United. Now come rumours he is surplus to requirements and Thai Port maybe snapping him up in the transfer window.
