Thailand, Royal Thai Army, Royal Thai Air Force, Sinthana, UCOM-
Rajpracha, Royal Thai Navy, Port Authority of Thailand Tero-Sasana and
Police.
Another six teams, who failed to make it into the top 12 elite, Tobacco
Monopoly, Osotspa, Bangkok Bank of Commerce, Rajvithi, Krungthai Bank
and Thamrongthai will join the top four teams from the old second
division - Rayong, Samut Prakan, Royal Household Bureau and Bank for
Agriculture and Co-Operatives - to make up a new second tier.
It was also confirmed that there will be no play-offs for the
championship this year and just one team will go either down to the
Second Division and up to the first.
However, the second bottom team in the top division will have to face
the second placed team in the second division to decide who takes up a
place in the top 12 next year.
