History

Honda Motorcycle Thailand, or A.P. Honda, started to send teams in the Samutprakarn Cup for the first time in 1971, by having factory employees play. In 2000, they established a football club "Thai Honda Ladkrabang Football Club". The club was promoted to Thai League 1. Some notable players for Thai Honda Ladkrabang were Prasert Choei-taisong, Tripob Chuenchuklin, and Thongchai Kuenkuntod. They were led by head coach Chalermwoot Sa-ngapol.[1] In the next two years, the club was relegated to play in a lower league. To combat this, they changed their management to Phaya Insee Lat Krabang Company Limited in 22 January 2015. The first act of the company was inviting Masami Taki, a Japanese football coach, to cooperate the club service system and manage the youth development program for the success of the club.[2]

In 2019 Thai Honda decided to dissolve the club due to financial problems.[3][4][5][6]

Crest history

Thai Honda F.C. add text LADKRABANG into their logo in 2017 because Thai Honda factory was located in Ladkrabang and they changed their logo's background color from white to gold in 2017.[7] In 2018 they decided to change the name of the club back to their original name "Thai Honda".[8]
