Pakorn started training at the age of 9 and had his first fight a few months later, winning by decision. His father is a Muay Thai enthusiast and trained Pakorn until he joined the Sitphateang camp. Pakorn first camp in Bangkok was Sakyothin, moving to Jitti Gym for a year and finally joining former opponent Saenchai PKSaenchaimuaythaigym's camp at the 13 Coins resort.[1] Pakorn subsequently moved with Saenchai to the PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym in Bangkok before joining Evolve MMA in October, 2016.
