Founded in 1968, they have been able to win their first title in 1969, only one year after had been founded. Three more Championship titles have followed. But they never could repeat their success in recent years. In 2007 finishing in 5th place, this year they got relegated already before end of the Season 2008 to the Thailand Division 2 League.
At the beginning of the 2009 season, Bangkok Bank FC withdrew from the league before the season began. FAT therefore decided that to fill the league with 16 teams, they would run a pre-season competition featuring the 4 relegated clubs from the Thailand Division 1 League 2008 season. Raj Vithi were one of these clubs. Raj Vithi were beaten by Thai Honda FC in the semi-final 1-0.
In 2012, Raj Vithi took a year out of the competition and didn't submit a team for the Bangkok regional league. Rumour has it that they'll return for the 2013 season.
