Career
Muay Thai
Lakhin started Muaythai 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 Lakhin defeated Dennuea Denmolee and won the Rajadamnern Super Flyweight (115 lbs) title by a second round ko which is by far his best career achievement.
Boxing
In professional boxing, he fought under Niwat Laosuwannawat's Galaxy Boxing Promotion (same stable as famed Khaosai Galaxy). On May 27, 1995, he had the opportunity to challenge the WBA Bantamweight world champion Daorung Chuvatana a fellow-Thai title holder, in his native Nakhon Si Thammarat, hoping to become the first Thai world champion who was from the south. After the 12 rounds, the bout was announced to be a draw despite the criticisms that he was more likely to be the loser.
