Born in Samut Prakan province, Warakorn was loaned to Thai League 3 side Banbueng in 2020, alongside teammate Jakkapong Sanmahung.[2] However, after the league was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, he returned to parent club Chonburi.[2]
The 2021 season was a better one for Warakorn, with a jump up to the Thai League 2 when he was loaned to Khon Kaen United, again making the move alongside Sanmahung.[2] After six games in the league, he played three times in the promotion play-offs, scoring the winning penalty to send Khon Kaen United to the Thai League 1.[3][4]
The following year, he was loaned again, this time to Nongbua Pitchaya of Thai League 1.[5] He made eight appearances in the league, scoring once.[1]
Warakorn has represented Thailand at under-14, under-16 and under-19 level.[5] He was called up to the under-23 squad for the first time in August 2021.[6]
