Saturday night's game, which took place at Surakul Stadium, saw several chances by Phuket FC - one of which hit the crossbar.
Chonburi struck first in the second half with a goal by Brazilian Thiago Cunha off a free kick just outside the box.
Moments later, the Ronins took advantage of a pumped-up Chonburi team when a long ball pass connected with Ney Fabiano who finished off the header and put the score even.
This is the fifth exhibition match for Phuket FC, having defeated Nakhon Sri Heritage, Forward FC (from Vladivostok), Brunei DPPM, and Ratchaburi Mithbol FC.
