Buriram PEA chairman Newin Chidchob says Saturday's 2-0 League Cup success over Thai Port which completed a rare treble is a "dream come true".
The Thunder Castle had already previously lifted the Thai Premier League and FA Cup trophies this season before grabbing a third piece of silverware in Saturday's final.
"It's a dream come true, we have won three trophies this season," Chidchob told reporters after the victory which came thanks to goals from Rangsan Vivatchaichok and Clarence Bintang.
"I am very happy. We have worked very hard in the past two years and achieved great success."
Buriram coach Assaphol Buspakom echoed the chairman's sentiments, before turning his attention to the AFC Champions League.
"We are very happy and we have been rewarded for our hard work," he said. "We will have a tougher task next season though as we will also play in the AFC Champions League."
