Honda Motorcycle Thailand, or A.P. Honda, started to send teams in the Samut Prakan Cup for the first time in 1971, by having factory employees play. In 2000, they established a football club "Thai Honda Ladkrabang Football Club". The club was promoted to Thai League 1. Some notable players for Thai Honda Ladkrabang were Prasert Choei-taisong, Tripob Chuenchuklin, and Thongchai Kuenkuntod. They were led by head coach Chalermwoot Sa-ngapol.[3] In the next two years, the club was relegated to play in a lower league. To combat this, they changed their management to Phaya Insee Lat Krabang Company Limited on 22 January 2015. The first act of the company was inviting Masami Taki, a Japanese football coach, to cooperate with the club service system and manage the youth development program for the success of the club.[4]
In 2019 Thai Honda decided to dissolve the club due to financial problems.[5][6][7][8]
