Perspective
Muay Thai
Lakhin started Muay Thai training at the age of 9, inspired by a fighter from his native province of Nakhon Si Thammarat. He went to Bangkok at the age of 13, staying at the Borkahiwat gym first and then moving to the Por.Chaiwat gym at 17.[2] In 1991 his Muay Thai career was peaking when Lakhin defeated Dennuea Denmolee and won the Rajadamnern Super Flyweight (115 lbs) title by a second-round knockout, a title he defended twice including in his victory over Burklerk Pinsinchai for the prestigious 1992 Isuzu Cup. The famed trilogy vs Samson Isaan would follow as part of a bid for the 1992 Sports Writer's Fighter of the Year, which ultimately Jaroensap Kiatbanchong would win. In 1993 he Lakhin would leave Muay Thai for professional boxing for a decade, but returning again to Muay Thai at the age of 31 going onto win the Omnoi Stadium and the WMC World Title at 140 lbs.
Boxing
In professional boxing, he fought under Niwat Laosuwanwat's Galaxy Boxing Promotion—the same stable as the famed Khaosai Galaxy. On May 27, 1995, he had the chance to challenge fellow Thai WBA Bantamweight world champion Daorung Chuvatana in his native Nakhon Si Thammarat, aiming to become the first world champion from southern Thailand. After 12 rounds, the bout was declared a draw, despite criticisms suggesting he was more likely to have lost. Lakhin won both the PAPA and OPBF titles at Bantamweight, and finished his pro boxing career undefeated with a record of 27-0-2, with 18 knockouts.
