Season notes

Kor Royal Cup

The Kor Royal Cup was an end of season match between the two clubs that finished first and second in the final Premier League standings.

Osotsapa, who came second in the Premier League, beat league Champions Bangkok University 2-1.

Queen's Cup

2nd Level Royal Thai Navy upset the odds when they won the 32nd edition of the Queen's Cup defeating Krung Thai Bank 1-0.

Asian representation

  • League champions and runners up Thailand Tobacco Monopoly and PEA should have taken part in the 2006 Asian Champions League, but both clubs failed to meet the respective time frame to send in squad lists. Both teams were duly disqualified from the competition. Rumor was rife that neither club wished to take part due to the financial costs.
  • Chonburi reached the final of the Singapore Cup in their first ever participation. They were within one minute of lifting the silverware against Tampines Rovers but succumbed in extra time to lose 3-2. Provincial Electricity Authority also took part in the competition but got knocked out in the first round against Woodlands Wellington.
