Muang Thong’s Pak Nam Chol, left, and Ratchaburi’s Prayad Boonya fight for the ball during yesterday’s match.
On a day of high-scoring matches, Buriram United hammered Songkhla United 6-1, Chonburi demolished Pattaya 5-1 and Army thrashed Bangkok United 6-0.
At Ratchaburi Stadium, Muang Thong bounced back from their midweek 4-0 loss at China's Guangzhou Evergrande in the AFC Champions League.
Macedonian midfielder Mario Gjurovski opened the scoring for Muang Thong after 20 minutes.
Promoted Ratchaburi fought back spiritedly in the second half but their strike force lacked sharpness throughout.
Teerasil Dangda put the contest beyond any doubt in injury time and the defending champions have now won all their five games so far this season.
Buriram United also returned to winning ways in style with a 6-1 home win against Songkhla United.
Carmelo Gonzalez scored a second-half hat-trick for Buriram, who lost 2-0 at China's Jiangsu Sainty in the AFC Champions League in midweek.
Javier Patino was on target twice and Juan Quero scored the other for the Thunder Castle as Panuwat Jinta got a consolation for the Fighting Bulls.
At Chonburi Stadium, Ratchata Chaijan stunned Chonburi early on, only for the Sharks to bite back with five unanswered goals.
Pipob On-mo and Thago Cunha scored twice each after Adul Lasoh had cancelled out the Blue Dolphins' lead.
At Army Stadium, the hosts went in front after just five minutes through Anuwat Noichuenphan and never looked back, with Chainarong Tathong scoring two goals.
