He began his career throwing combinations into a sand bag that his father put up for him. It was at this point that his love of the sport began. He also suffered from a respiratory problem as a child and boxing was a form of exercise to maintain his fitness. "As a child, my body was not that strong due to my respiratory problem. There was a boxing camp in my village, and my mother left me with my aunt to practise boxing so I could be healthy." (mainstand.co.th, 21 Nov 2019; g4ssport.com, 18 Aug 2010)

General
RETIREMENT PLANS
He originally planned to retire in 2020 after competing at the Olympic Games in Tokyo but he decided to extend his quest for an Olympic medal until 2021 following the postponement of the Games. "I did not get any medals in my previous two Olympic Games and my target is clear - to get a podium place in Tokyo." (insidethegames.biz, 27 May 2020)

EARLY DAYS
His mother encouraged him to take up boxing as a form of exercise to maintain his fitness. He chose to pursue the sport as a career in order to earn money and help his family. "My family didn't fully support me. My father liked the idea because he was a boxer, but my mother didn't want anyone to punch me. She was afraid I would get hurt. I understood their feelings but I chose boxing because I want to make money to help my family. My aunt once invited me to a match at the temple fair. I lost but I got 50 baht as a fee. I thought, even if I lose, I could still get money to help my parents." (mainstand.co.th, 21 Nov 2019)
