Where did you learn?
I first learned skateboarding when I had to move from Bangkok to Udon Thani (North East of Thailand) to study. I didn’t have a lot of friends at first so I concentrated on skateboarding and started to make skate friends.

Vehicle?
I just bought my first car couple months ago. It’s a Toyota, Yaris.

Pets?
No.

Favorite food?
Thai papaya salad (Somtum), Tomyum soup, and Mos Burger

Who or what gets you amped?
My teammate, Lert Saeli. His skating is madness.

Person you most respect?
Preduce crew and my parents. They are always there for me.

Which word phrases do you most overuse?
“I don’t know, I’m drunk”

What is the most embarassing thing that has ever happened to you?
I can’t think of anything yet.

What is the craziest thing you've ever seen?
There’s one time my friends and I were skating at this particular spot in front of this guy’s home and he walked out with a pistol gun in his hand and pointed the gun at me and my friend, Simon without saying anything. After we saw the gun, we just ran away and never go back to that spot again.

Tell me the best thing about Thailand?
Cheap food and travelling. Nice people. Lots of beautiful beaches and women.

What motto do you live by?
Enjoy life no matter what. Each day is a new day.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Getting to skate with my friends and travel. See new faces, meet new people.

Tell me something most people don't know about you?
I used to be a basketball player for my school team. I also love playing PS3 games with my friends after skating, pretty much every night.

What got you into Skateboarding? (Tell about your first time Skateboarding, what happened, who taught you, how, etc)
When I first moved back to Udon to study, I was 13 years old. I didn’t know anybody yet so I just skated in front of my house and my neighbor happened to be a skater too so he took me around town and introduced me to other local skaters. When I first started skating, I fell in love with skateboarding right away. The feeling of riding it is just fun and feel release. I can be creative with my trick. Back then, there weren’t a lot of good skaters, I learned most the tricks from skate videos.

Your hopes for the future (where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years, will you still be riding when you're older etc)
In the next 5-10 years, I will still be skating. My style of skating my be change a little bit but I will still enjoy the feeling of riding a skateboard. If I can’t skate, I’ll still want to do something that related to skateboarding like, opening a skate shop or organize skate events.
