Sinthaweechai also won Kor Royal Cup with the club in the next season, but failed to protect their league title from PEA. He also participated in the AFC Champions League with Chonburi in 2008 but the club was knocked out in the group stage.

After the loan spell with the Indonesian, Sinthaweechai returned to Chonburi and has been playing for the club regularly.
In December 2015 it was announced that Sinthaweechai would be joining Suphanburi for the 2016 season. The deal, which costs 15 million Thai baht broke the record as the most expensive domestic transfer in Thai football history.[4]

It was between 2002 and 2005 that the goalkeeper started to become public interest. He was called up for Thailand U23 in 2002 and since the U23 team participate many more competitions than the lower level, practically part of senior squad, he was given more chances and eventually earned no.1 status in the team.
He made totally 22 appearances for the U23 team between 2002 and 2005.
Sinthaweechai was promoted to the senior squad in 2004. However, he lost his no.1 status in numerous occasions as well, as he underperformed in matches. Sinthaweechai was also a member of the victorious T&T Cup 2008 winning squad. Anyway, under the management of Winfried Schafer, which was appointed as Thailand's head coach in July, 2011, Sinthaweechai firmly regained his first team regular in Thailand national team so far, especially in 2014 Asian World Cup Qualifying section which he earned many positive comments from the media and fans regarded to his performances against Australia.
He was part of Winfried Schäfer's 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup, but didn't play in the tournament because he got a fever. Sinthaweechai played a friendly match against China, and he was captain in that match.
In 2013, he was called up to the national team by Surachai Jaturapattarapong to the 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification, he was chosen by the coach as captain. In October, 2013 Sinthaweechai started out as a captain for Thailand against Bahrain, in a friendly match. On October 15, 2013, he captained Thailand against Iran national football team in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification.
In May 2015, he played for Thailand in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC) against Vietnam, he also kept a clean sheet in the following game.
On 5 September 2017, Sinthaweechai announced his early retirement from international football after the match with Australia in 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round.[7] On 14 October 2018, Football Association of Thailand organised Sinthaweechai Testimonial Match with Trinidad and Tobago national football team at Suphan Buri Provincial Stadium, as part of FIFA Friendly schedule and ended with score 1–0 win for the Thais over Trinidad and Tobago, ending his national career covering 14 years and 79 match appearances.[8][9][10]
Style of play
[edit]Sinthaweechai is known as a sweeper keeper because of his speed when he rushes off his line to anticipate opponents who have beaten the offside trap.[11] He made a name for himself by making a lung-busting run, covering almost halfway through the field, to intercept Vietnam striker Lê Công Vinh in Thailand's 1-0 victory over Vietnam during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round.[12]
