Nakhon Pathom United became the second Thai League 1 team to be relegated following a 2-2 home draw with Port on Sunday night.
Hosts Nakhon Pathom needed a win in this game to keep their hopes for top-flight survival alive. They will now be joining Khon Kaen United, who were relegated late last month, in the second tier.
Nakhon Pathom had a good start to the match as Amir Hossein Nemati nodded home a lob from Ernesto Poomipha after 12 minutes.
Port equalised in the 28th minute through Natthakit Phosri before Isaac Honny doubled their advantage a minute before the break.
The hosts levelled the score in the last minute of the match when Fergus Tierney put the ball in the back of the net.
Nakhon Pathom coach Thongchai Sukkoki apologised to the fans for not being able to help the club survive in the top flight but vowed to win them promotion next season.
In the other match of the night, Muang Thong United defeated Uthai Thani 2-0.
Poramet Artvilai (17) and Kakana Khamyok (63) were the scorers for the Kirins.
