We talk with Khun Pongsakorn Tantajanya the General Manager of Mahasarakham SBT FC - newly promoted to Thai League 2. This is a club that is doing everything well - organising early for the new season; recruiting quality players; seeking out new sponsors; understanding their budget; and engaging with the local community.

Compare and contrast to CMFC. The search continues for Big Sand - as potential investors into CMFC seek a face-to-face meeting before any deal can be agreed.

And (unusually for us - but it is the quiet season) we look at Thailand's departure from 2026 World Cup qualifying.

Thanks, as always for listening.

While we wait for news on whether we still have a football club next season, and of which league we will play in, here is part one of our three part review of the 2023/24 season.

A quick update on the T2 playoffs with the last game of the season tomorrow - Rayong entertain Nakhon Si United.

In Thai League 2 CMFC fell at the last - an entertaining 2-2 draw at home to Nakhon Si United sending the visitors to the T2 playoff final against Rayong.

Our Rayong correspondent adds his thoughts on a memorable night as Chulapa-infused Rayong beat Ayutthaya 4-1 after extra time.

Behind the scenes CMFC is the one club in T2 that saw its application for a 2024/2025 T2 license rejected. The club has until 21 May to appeal, and presumably to provide missing or clarifying information.

CMFC fans are left contemplating the possibility of life in T3. Phayao is a lovely little town
