On 18 Jan 2026 GMT+7, the page "Uncle Newin" shared the latest remarks from Newin Chidchob, chairman of Buriram United, the Thai League 1 leaders, ahead of the 17th week match of the 2025-26 season. The game is at home against archrivals Singha Chiang Rai United, kicking off at 18:00.
Newin Chidchob said, "Three points and happiness at Buriram. We warmly welcome the Guangs' fans to Chang Arena."
"Whenever Chiang Rai United visits Buriram United, there is always plenty of drama—on the field, off it, and on social media—making them one of the most colorful rivals in Thai League every year."
"Meeting today, there will surely be much drama. It's not surprising or different from before. What’s new are Buriram United’s statistics and results, which will increase their number of wins and goals scored."
"Every time we face each other, Buriram United fans bring extra physical strength, spirit, and hunger to win—to silence critics quickly and keep the drama brief, so it remains an entertaining, creative rivalry rather than a prolonged, disruptive one."
"Regardless, Buriram United and Chiang Rai United will continue their competition in Thai League for a long time. Buriram United is ready to welcome Chiang Rai United, who bring three points to give us here at Chang Arena."
"The drama between Buriram United and Chiang Rai United will continue to be a highlight of Thai League for a long time. Whether heavy or light, we must move forward together."
"After sending Chiang Rai United and the Guangs back home, Buriram United and the people of Buriram will host the grand Buriram Marathon, welcoming runners nationwide to visit Buriram and create the happiest marathon in Thailand."
"This week will be one of the most valuable and meaningful weeks for the people of Buriram and the city. We are waiting to welcome 35,000 runners, their followers, families, and supporters, with an expected total attendance of no fewer than 70,000 for the Buriram Marathon."
"The people of Buriram are united to be good hosts, welcoming visitors with kindness and hospitality, taking care of runners, their companions, and all supporters."
"We hope everyone visiting Buriram United will be happy and impressed every minute spent in Buriram city and will return to visit Buriram many times each year."
"Like the Guangs’ fans who come to Buriram today, even if they must leave empty-handed, we believe everyone will be impressed and happy enough to return to Chang Arena regularly every year."
"Today, let us all be good hosts and take care of every Guang fan to ensure they are impressed every minute at Chang Arena."
