He is the third of six children. He started fighting at the age of 14 in his native province with Chucheep Chaimongkol as a trainer. In 1974, he traveled to Bangkok to fight for the first time at the major stadiums, Rajadamnern Stadium and Lumpinee Stadium. He won the Featherweight (57 kg or 126 lb) title of the Lumpinee Stadium and defended it for four years. He vacated the title to move up to a heavier division. He knocked out the legendary Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn.
He then turned to amateur boxing due to Capt. Chanai Pongsupa's persuasion (Torsak Sasiprapa's father), training at Osotspa Club from 1981. He laso made the transition because he wanted to travel abroad. He was successful in many competitions such as the Thailand Championships which he won in 1983 and 1984, he obtained a silver medal in the 1982 Asian Games, a silver medal in the 1982 King's Cup and the gold medal in the 1983 Southeast Asian Games.
After retirement, he worked as a public relations officer for Osotspa and as a secretary of Osotspa F.C. (currently Super Power Samut Prakan F.C.) in Thai Premier League. He also has his own cosmetic business.[citation needed]
