Port Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลการท่าเรือ), also known as Thai Port (formerly known as Port Authority of Thailand Football Club after its namesake owner), is a Thai professional football club based in Khlong Toei district of central Bangkok that currently competes in the Thai League 1.

Alongside Buriram United and Muangthong United, Port is also one of the most successful clubs in Thai football having won 3 Thai FA Cup, 1 League Cup, 8 Kor Royal Cup and 6 Queen's Cup. Port also came close to winning the top flight league in 1999 finishing second in the league.

Founded in 1967 as Port Authority of Thailand Football Club by Major Prachuap Suntranakul, who was the director of Port Authority of Thailand at the time. He took on the role of chairman of Port Authority of Thailand and was instrumental in helping the club during its initial years.

In 1968, Port Authority of Thailand were crowned Kor Royal Cup winners, which sparked the most successful era in the club's history as they went on to win six Kor Royal Cup titles between 1968 and 1979. Port also had plenty of success in the Queen's Cup, winning it 4 times in succession from 1977 to 1980. Following the 1980 Queen's Cup win, Port Authority of Thailand won four trophies in 13 years.

At the start of the 2009 Thailand Premier League season, the club changed its name from Port Authority of Thailand to Thai Port Football Club, The name change was introduced to be in line with the new Football Association of Thailand regulations that meant all teams in the top flight must be registered as limited companies.

In the same year, Thai Port ended a 16-years wait for a trophy when they were victorious in the 2009 Thai FA Cup final where their opponents on 23 October 2009 at the Suphachalasai Stadium were BEC Tero Sasana. The match finished 1–1 after extra time where Edvaldo scored a goal, which sees the match advance to penalty shoot out where Port won 5–4. Pipat Thonkanya scored the decisive spot kick after Thai Port keeper Pattarakorn had saved BEC Tero Sasana's fifth penalty.^[2] In the next season, Thai Port performed a miracle in the 2010 Thai League Cup where they advanced all the way to the final facing off against Buriram United on 21 November 2010. Thai Port went on to become champion of the Thai League Cup after defeating their opponent 2–1. Thai Port also see themselves qualified to the 2010 AFC Cup where they were drawn in Group H alongside Vietnamese club SHB Đà Nẵng, Singaporean club Geylang United and Hong Kong club Tai Po. On 17 March 2010, Thai Port registered their first continental win after Pitipong Kuldilok scored the only goal in the match against Tai Po at the Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground. Thai Port went on to finished the group stage as runners-up thus qualifying to the round of 16. There, Thai Port faced off against Indonesian club Sriwijaya where Thai Port manage to thrash their opponent 4–1 thus qualifying to the quarter-finals. Thai Port was then drawn against Kuwaiti club Al-Qadsia but suffered a 3–0 defeat in the second leg at the Mohammed Al-Hamad Stadium thus knocking out from the competition.

The Port Authority of Thailand has been granted the rights to operate the Thai Port in the Thai Premier League.

The Football Association of Thailand or the FAT and the Thai Premier League ruled on the legal dispute between the Port Authority of Thailand and the Thai Port Company, over the operating rights of the Thai Premier League's Thai Port.

According to the ruling, the Port Authority of Thailand, the club's original owner, has been granted operating rights of the team for the 2011–12 Thai Premier League season.

The FAT claimed its decision is based on the fact that the club's ownership was never officially signed over to the Thai Port Company.

Meanwhile, President of Thai Port Company, Pichet Munkong, threatened to file a civil lawsuit in the court of law, citing Thai Premier League regulations which says that a state-enterprise such as the Port Authority of Thailand, is prohibited from operating a football club.

Pichet is planning to sue the FAT, the Thai Premier League, and the Asian Football Confederation.

However, Thai Port will only be permitted to compete in the upcoming season of the country's top flight league, set to begin on February 12, once its operator is registered as a for-profit corporation.

It remains unclear how the Port Authority of Thailand is planning to proceed with this matter.^[3]

The ongoing boardroom disputes finally took their toll as Thai Port dropped to Division 1 for the first time in 2012. Investment in the team wasn't forthcoming as several departing players were replaced with lower quality ones. Thai Port failed to find the back of the net in almost half of their league games and were relegated on the penultimate round of fixtures when they lost 2–1 at home to Muangthong United. As Port was relegated the 2013 Thai Division 1 League, The club was then renamed to Singhtarua which then finished the season as runners-up thus earning promotion back to the Thai top flight in 2014.

In 2015, Singhtarua was taken over by Nualphan Lamsam, Thai business woman, by signing the Memorandum of Understanding of a 5-year contract with Port Authority of Thailand to control the club's management where the club name was reverted back to Port Football Club.^[4] Nualphan, commonly known to locals as ‘Madam Pang’ the majority shareholder of Muang Thai Life Insurance and the Assistant Secretary General of the Democratic Party, which has held power over Bangkok for over a decade.^[5] Since Port Co took over the management of the club in 2015 by Nualphan, the team's results have improved.

In 2017, Port returned to Thai League 1, Nualphan Lamsam announced the appointment of Kiatisuk Senamuang as the new head coach of the club; Kiatisuk was manager of the Thailand national team from 2014 to 2017.^[6] Kiatisuk resigned as coach of Port after just three months in charge, managing just one win, six losses and three draws during his time with the club.^[7]

In 2018, ‘Madam Pang’ loosened the purse-strings significantly in the transfer window, making a clear statement to the rest of the division. Arrivals such as winger Nurul Sriyankem from Chonburi, left-back Kevin Deeromram from Ratchaburi Mitr Phol, and most significantly, forward Dragan Bošković from Bangkok United.^[5] The club finished third in the 2018 Thai League 1 season and created history by claiming 61 points – the club's highest points in a single season^[8] under Jadet Meelarp manager.

Expected to be one of the contenders for the 2019 Thai League 1 title, Port looked on course for a successful campaign until June, when a poor run of form led to the sacking of Jadet Meelarp.^[10] The club subsequently appointed national team assistant Choketawee Promrut as head coach and former Manchester City defender Spencer Prior as technical director, sparking a reversal of the team's form as they won five of their next six games.^[11] They also qualified for the 2019 Thai FA Cup Final for the first time in a decade.^[12]

Port won the 2019 Thai FA Cup after defeating Ratchaburi Mitr Phol 1–0 in the final held at the Leo Stadium, Midfielder Sergio Suarez scored the only goal of the game in the third minute of the second half to give Port their second Thai FA Cup title in front of FIFA president Gianni Infantino who was among those in attendance. All eyes were on the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology which was employed by the Football Association of Thailand for the cup final.^[13]

In 2021, Port qualified to the 2021 AFC Champions League group stage after finishing the 2020–21 Thai League 1 as runners-up. Port was then drawn in Group J alongside Japanese club Cerezo Osaka, Hong Kong club Kitchee and Chinese club Guangzhou. Port then got their first win in the AFC Champions League on 27 June 2021 where they defeated Guangzhou 3–0. Port then finished the group stage in third place with 8 points but was knocked out from the tournament. During the first round of the 2021–22 Thai FA Cup on 27 October 2021, Port recorded their highest win in an official match where they went on to thrash fourth division club MBF Amphawa 22–1 where Nantawat Suankaew, Nurul Sriyankem and Tanasith Siripala scored a poker in the match.

On 25 December 2023, chairwoman Nualphan Lamsam left her position to participate as a candidate to run for presidency of the Football Association of Thailand which a position she subsequently won in February 2024.^[14] Port will then be under a new chairman, Chalermchoke Lamsam who is a relatives of Madam Pang under the same Lamsam family name.

On 20 June 2024, AFC confirmed Port will participate in the inaugural 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two group stage where the club was drawn in Group F alongside Chinese club Zhejiang, Singaporean club Lion City Sailors and Indonesian club Persib Bandung. Port then went on to finished the group sharing 10 points with Lion City Sailors but finished as runners-up due to goal difference. Port then faced Korean club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the round of 16 but suffered a 5–0 aggregate defeat thus going out from the competition.

In July 2025, Port was invited by Football Association of Indonesia for the 2025 Piala Presiden held in Bandung. Port then won 2–0 against Persib Bandung on 6 July and also won 2–1 against Dewa United where Irfan Fandi notably scored a

90+5' stoppage time diving header to win the match for Port on 10 July thus finishing as group leaders thus advancing to the final where Port face against EFL Championship club Oxford United on 13 July. As Port was 1–0 down, Teerasak Poeiphimai scored an equaliser right before half-time, in the 48' minute, the club new signing Brayan Perea scored the winner for Port thus helping the club to win the 2025 Piala Presiden cup.

Supporters of Thai Port are often referred to as the Khlong Toei Army. The name Khlong Toei Army refers to Khlong Toei District, the location of the club. "Nakrob Sad Nam-ngurn" refers to Orange-red Blue Warrior, the Thai Port's shirt colours.

The supporters of Thai Port and Chonburi have forged a very close friendship. Many supporters of Thai Port went to the FA Cup final in 2010 wearing Thai Port colors to cheer for Chonburi against Muangthong United. Likewise plenty of kitted-out Chonburi fans came to support Thai Port in their 2010 League Cup Final against Buriram PEA

The club also attracts a large number of “Farang” (foreign) supporters, probably the largest foreign matchday following of any club in Thailand. Foreign fans are attracted due to the club's central location and proximity to the MRT rail network.^[20]

Port moved into the PAT Stadium in Khlong Toei district, Bangkok in 2009 which proved to be a very popular move with local supporters. Attendances rose sharply over the year and the club decided to build two new stands to increase the capacity from 6,000 to 7,000.^[2] Match tickets cost 100–120 baht and are bought from a small ticket office next to the stadium.

The club has a souvenir shop which is located in the Stadium grounds. The shop stocks replica shirts, scarves and other merchandise.
