Chiangrai United suffered a disappointing 1-3 home defeat to Chonburi FC in Thai League 1 action on February 21, 2026. The loss continued a poor run of form for Chiangrai, while Chonburi FC claimed an impressive away win to move into the top six. Chonburi stunned the home crowd by taking an early two-goal lead with quick, incisive attacks. Chiangrai United managed to pull a goal back just before halftime to give themselves hope. However, any momentum was squashed shortly after the restart when Chonburi restored their two-goal advantage with a stunning long-range strike.
