Seasonal Changes

edit

Relegation from Thai League 2

edit

Chiangmai was relegated to Thai League 3 due to failing to meet club licensing standards. The club will now compete in the Northern Region for the 2024–25 season, bringing higher-level competition.[2]

Promotion from Thailand Semi-pro League

edit

Chattrakan City earned promotion from the Thailand Semi-pro League and joined the Northern Region, adding fresh competition for this season.[3]

Club licensing failures

edit

Kongkrailas United and Rongseemaechaithanachotiwat Phayao, despite meeting competitive criteria, were relegated to the Thailand Semi-pro League after failing to comply with licensing requirements.[4][5] This has allowed Nakhon Sawan See Khwae City, the last-place club in the 2023–24 season, to remain in Thai League 3.[6]

The distances between football clubs in the 2024–25 Thai League 3 Northern Region are approximate and calculated based on the most convenient and shortest practical road routes. These measurements prioritize routes that balance proximity and ease of travel, avoiding too indirect or inconvenient paths despite their shorter distance. By focusing on practical road travel, this chart reflects the real-world journey clubs will undertake for away matches, considering the road infrastructure and conditions in northern Thailand. This provides valuable insight into the logistical challenges clubs face during the season and is an essential resource for planning travel for clubs and their supporters.

Among the distances calculated, the shortest is notably 0 kilometers, representing Chiangmai and Maejo United, as well as Phitsanulok and Phitsanulok Unity, who share their respective home stadiums, making travel unnecessary. Conversely, the longest road journey between clubs spans 553 kilometers, marking the trip between Chiangrai City and Nakhon Sawan See Khwae City. In terms of total travel distances over the season, Chiangrai City faces the most extensive journey, covering approximately 3,738 kilometers, while TPF Uttaradit has the least travel, totaling around 1,941 kilometers.
