Biography

Early career

Manachai started training and fighting at the age of 8. He won his first fight and was rewarded with 500 baht. The relatively large prize money motivated him to train in the sport full-time. He joined Kiatmoo9 Gym in Buriram, training with the camp's fighters like Singdam, Superlek and Rungnarai for many years.

During his early career he competed in the Isaan region and made his way to fighting at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, during which he was ranked number one in his weight division at one point.[1]

2016 - Present

In April 2016, Manachai moved to the YOKKAO camp in Bangkok, training with Saenchai, Singdam and Pakorn amongst others.

In February 2017, CNN Money featured YOKKAO in a television documentary special showcasing young, successful businesses in Thailand. Manachai appeared on the program together with YOKKAO camp mates, Singdam and Saenchai.[2]

He also sustained losses at YOKKAO 21 to Australian Kurtis Staiti, as well as in Korat and Omnoi Stadium.

After a short break from training and competing, Manachai returned to the ring and went on a 9-win streak from July 2017. He kicked off the series of victories when he went up against former 2013 Rajadamnern champion, Kiatpetch Suanaharneekmai at the YOKKAO Next Generation event in Suraburi. Manachai outscored Kiatpetch to bring home the win.

On 20 August 2017, Manachai appeared on the inaugural All-star Fight promotion alongside YOKKAO teammate, Pakorn and Muay Thai star, Buakaw. On this occasion, he defeated Iranian fighter, Vahid Shahbazi, a veteran of the ring, via decision.[3]

A month later, Manachai made his second Hong Kong appearance with YOKKAO 26 on 11 September winning a unanimous decision over his Spanish opponent, Carlos Araya.[4][5][6][7]

On 30 September, Manachai returned to All-Star Fight in Bangkok fighting against a Laotian opponent, Noukhith Latsaphao. He defeated Noukhith a minute into the third round via an elbow KO.[8][9]
