In-form forward Supachai Chaided scored two goals as Buriram United beat Prachuap 3-1 in Thai League 1 on Sunday night.
Supachai was on target in the 10th and 45th minutes and Goran Causic grabbed the third goal for the Thunder Castle.
Former Buriram player Samuel Rosa scored for the Killer Wasps in the 16th minute.
Buriram remain second on 17 points, one behind leaders Chonburi.
"Supachai is a fantastic player for me -- I have always said this," said Buriram coach Masatada Ishii.
The Japanese also praised his team's overall performance in wet conditions due to a heavy downpour.
