The 2024–25 Thai League 3 Western Region is part of the 2024–25 Thai League 3 Regional Stage, consisting of 12 clubs located in the western region of Thailand, along with some from the western part of the central region. This region has undergone significant changes with clubs relocating into and out of the area to better align with their geographical locations. The season will commence on 14 September 2024,[1] with clubs competing in a round-robin format featuring home-and-away matches. The Regional Stage will conclude on TBD, at which point the top two clubs will advance to the National Championship Stage, while the bottom-placed club will face relegation to the Thailand Semi-pro League for the following season. The Western Region's structure now better reflects its geographic identity. This stage brings together clubs from the lush landscapes and mountainous terrain of the West, where football continues to unite communities in a region of natural beauty.
