The win saw Somchai Chuayboonchum's team finish six points clear of Chiangmai United at the top of the standings.
Swirad, who is also co-host on Astro Supersport's Man On The Street, became the second Malaysian to win a league title in Thailand this season.
Norshahrul Idlan Talaha appeared for Thai League 1 champions BG Pathum United in the first half of the season and, according to the current Sarawak United forward himself, played enough games to qualify for a medal.
