Exciting though the past football season was, it has also served as a reminder for Thai owners that it is definitely not all honey and roses running an English club.
The 2021/22 season was something of a mixed bag for the three clubs which have full Thai ownership -- Leicester City, Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United. There is also a 25 percent Thai stake in Reading.
The highest profile outfit by far are Premier League side Leicester owned by Aiyawatt "Top" Srivaddhanaprabha, son of Vichai who tragically died in a helicopter crash in October 2018.
Aiyawatt appears to have built up a strong relationship with the fans and in a recent poll was voted second best owner in the entire Football League.
Having finished fifth in the two previous seasons and narrowly missing out on the Champions League, an eighth place finish this time around might seem a little disappointing.
But considering all the injuries they suffered and their troublesome inability to defend corners, it probably could have been worse for Brendan Rodgers' team.
On the positive side, there were consistently high quality performances from James Maddison and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
And despite a long injury lay-off, Jamie Vardy, at 36, still managed to be the club's top scorer with a healthy 15 goals.
They can also look back on a terrific 1-0 win over Liverpool in which goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel saved a Mo Salah penalty.
One problem for Leicester is that since the halcyon days of 2016 when they won the Premier League title against all odds maybe too much is expected of the club. It is hard to keep over-achieving.
In League One, Sheffield Wednesday, owned by Thai tuna king Dejphon Chansiri had a frustrating end to the season.
After finishing in a commendable fourth place in the league they were narrowly beaten in the play-offs by Sunderland who went on to win promotion to the Championship.
The Thai owner had come in for criticism from fans the previous season but he seems to have turned things around.
Talking about Dejphon at the end of the season, manager Darren Moore said: "He's been absolutely tremendous with his support -- absolutely first class."
Dejphon promised to take Wednesday back into the Premier League when he took over in 2014.
It hasn't quite worked out that way but there is some optimism for winning promotion back to the Championship next season.
It was also in 2014 when the Thai consortium of Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth, Sasima Srivikorn and Narin Niruttinanon took over Championship side Reading.
However, things did not go that well on the pitch.
Sumrith and Khunying Sasima sold their 75 percent shares to Chinese brother and sister Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li.
Narin remains at Reading and still reportedly has a 25 percent share. Reading have recently struggled and last season barely escaped relegation.
After leaving Reading, Sumrith did not throw in the towel, but moved 50km up the River Thames to take over Oxford United in League One.
This past season was ultimately disappointing in that after a strong start the U's failed to make the play-offs, finishing in eighth place, condemning them to another season in the third tier.
It is easy to forget Oxford actually spent three seasons in the top flight from 1985-88.
Speaking of Oxford, it is good to see the club's Thai player Ben Davis perform for Thailand's U23 team.
Although he hasn't played for Oxford's first team, he looks a very useful midfielder and has a promising future.
In fact, the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) and its national team manager Nualphan Lamsam appear to have a new policy of encouraging overseas-based Thai players to play for the country which is good news.
In addition to Davis, there are Thanawat Suengchitthavon (Leicester), Jonathan Khemdee (OB Odense, Denmark), and two German-based players Achitpol Keereerom (Augsburg II) and Marcel Sieghart (TSV Rain am Lech).
Others include Chayapipat Supanpasuch (Estoril, Portugal), Yannick Nussbaum (Young Boys, Switzerland), Nicholas Mickelson (OB Odense).
Thailand U23 coach Worrawoot Srimaka said recently he was proud that they are all Thai citizens or have Thai blood and are not naturalised players.
He asserted: "This is the future of the Thai national team."
