Sport specific information
When and where did you begin this sport?
He began Para powerlifting in 2000 in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Why this sport?
Some of his friends encouraged him to take up the sport. "I used to feel sorry for myself a lot during my early teens. I also spent a lot of my free time alone because everyone was out working. It was four years after completing high school that I got the opportunity to study at the Redemptorist Vocational School for People with Disabilities in Pattaya, which changed me from the introvert to the extrovert I am today. It was there that I was encouraged to play sports."
