The classy gifts come just days before Claudio Ranieri's players need to put in a top performance to beat Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in Sunday's Community Shield game at Wembley.
The cars are on top of a £6.5 million pot that will be split between the squad under the terms of Leicester's bonus agreement with the Barclay's Premier League.
Mr Srivaddhanaprabha is worth an estimated £2 billion and is the fourth richest man in Thailand.
He bought 19 cars despite the fact that Claudio used 23 players in his title-winning squad.
