History

Trat Football Club was formed in 2012, nicknamed The White Elephants. They were admitted to the 2011 Regional League Division 2 Central & Eastern Region. In their first season, they were kicked out in the third round of the 2012 Thai FA Cup after they fielded an unregistered player in their penalty shoot out win over Army United and scraped into 3rd in Central/East division to make Regional league playoffs. Trat was promoted to 2013 Thai Division 1 League as the first attempt after topping Group B.[2][3][4]

During the 2015 Thai Division 1 League, Trat was relegated to the third division after finishing in last place during the league. In the following season, Trat ended up winning the 2016 Thai Division 2 League Eastern Region thus gaining promotion.

In the 2018 season, Trat finished in second place, two points away from league champions PTT Rayong. Trat then earned promotion to the top flight for the first time in the club history.

In the 2022–23 season, Trat finished the season in 2nd place thus gaining promotion back to the top flight for the second time. However, the club didn't last long in the top flight where they was relegated in the 2023–24 season.
