History
The club was formed in 1937 as the Royal Thai Navy Football Club and currently play under the name of Siam Navy or locally known as Rajnavy. The club has also played under the names of Rajnavi and Rajnavy Rayong, Rayong being the town they played in and the main base of the Navy in general.Since the inception of the Thai Premier League in 1996 the club played under the name of the Royal Thai Navy up until 2009 when all teams in Thailand had to become public limited companies. With this, many teams changed names and formed closer links with the communities they were based in, in this case the navy became known as Rajnavy Rayong. Rajnavy being the local Thai name for the Navy. In 2011, and with a dispute as to the ownership of the club, the club moved from their Rayong home and into the Chonburi province where they ground share with Pattaya United - another club playing outside of their original home town - albeit against league rules, where two sides in the TPL cannot ground share.
Ownership Dispute
In 2009 when Thai football was starting to become very popular and with clubs all told to become public limited companies, new entities of teams were formed, almost to the point where anyone could register the club under their ownership. At this point, Rayong Thai Premier, took the ownership of the club and renamed them to Rajnavy Rayong. Two seasons past before the Royal Thai Navy decided to bring the team back under their own control. With this, they renamed the club to Siam Navy and moved out of Rayong.Turmoil
At the start of the 2011 league campaign, with the Navy in a bit of turmil after the dispute of the owner of the club, they proceeded to get it wrong on the field as well. Their opening game of the season against Sisaket, was awarded 2:0 to Siskaet after an original 1:1 draw die to Siam Navy playing an ineligible player. To make things worse, the club knew the player in question couldn't play, but carried on hoping to get away with any sanctions - especially since the league is normally lax in the rules.Queens Cup Success
In 2006 the club won the opening season Queen's Cup tournament. A tournament that is not mandatory but nonetheless a big part of the Thai football calendar at the time. They defeated Krung Thai Bank in the final after getting past Bangkok BankBangkok Bank F.C.
