Championship Credentials
- Two‑division Lumpinee Stadium World Champion
- Two‑division Rajadamnern Stadium World Champion
- Triple winner of Muay Thai’s highest honor, “The Sports Writer’s Award,” from 2013–2015
Early Career & Training
Born in Samut Prakan and trained in the legendary Jitmuangnon Gym near Bangkok, Panpayak has been tearing up the ring since he was 8 years old. He’s a true Muay Femur master, waiting for the perfect moment to unleash that signature left high‑roundhouse kick.
ONE Debut
Cheers will erupt at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, 7 December, as Panpayak makes his first appearance for ONE at ONE: DESTINY OF CHAMPIONS. He’ll face WKA European Champion Rui Botelho in the featherweight division under Muay Thai rules.
Opponents’ Styles
Panpayak’s classic, disciplined style meets Botelho’s European kickboxing passion—he’s known for heavy-handed power strikes. While the Thai artist has limited three‑round foreign experience, he’ll need to step up the tempo to keep pace with Botelho’s aggressive rhythm.
What to Expect
Imagine fireworks flickering on the bright lights, with crowds roaring like a dragon’s roar. The bout promises to be a clash of tradition versus modern kickboxing, packed with action, emotion, and a dash of Thai flair.
